I'm tired of my current printer. Rather than buying more ink, I might buy a new printer. Recommendations?

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Jun 2 '21, 09:26

I'm leaning heavily towards the Shaq printer (the Epson EcoTank).

Responses:

I have Brother laser printers (I have a B&W for heavy printing and color printer/scanner/copier. They're pretty reasonably priced, very fast - pmb Jun 2, 09:55 2
- We just got a new Brother and like it. Recommended in Consumer Reports, too. -- nm - mara Jun 2, 10:09
- I've had success with Brother in the past. I like that they have separate cartridges. But my current Brother is too slow. -- nm - Mop Jun 2, 09:59
I got a monochrome Brother printer and have been damn near giddy at how fast and well it prints. F*ck HP printers from here on out. -- (link) - JaxSean Jun 2, 09:54 2
- Yep. By B&W brother prints as fast as my office printers (I think it's 46 ppm). -- nm - pmb Jun 2, 09:56 1
  - We use quite a few of those in the field. They are solid. -- nm - oblique Jun 2, 10:01
Happy with our Canon 64x series. -- nm - VMan Jun 2, 09:53
I've been very happy with our Epsons -- nm - oblique Jun 2, 09:42
I use the public library when I need to print something which is very rare. -- nm - Krusty Jun 2, 09:39 3
- Print shop near me still charges peanuts for this sort of thing -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 10:03 1
  - Same. The library is completely free so if they're open I go there. If I worked from home and needed to print documents that would be different. - Krusty Jun 2, 10:09
- same. -- nm - colin Jun 2, 09:41
Get the shaq network printer+scanner. I have it. It's fantastic. -- nm* - Beryllium Jun 2, 09:35 2
- Is that a specific model? Don't they all basically have wifi? -- nm - Mop Jun 2, 09:44 1
  - ET-2760 -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 09:55
b&w or color? -- nm - colin Jun 2, 09:33 3
- His IM indicates color. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:34 2
  - gotcha. avoid inkjet at all costs, get a Brother printer with a cartridge. new cartridge is $75, but they have 3000 page capacity. - colin Jun 2, 09:39 1
    - they're also refillable, but not "officially". - colin Jun 2, 09:42
we just bought: HP Envy Pro 6400. Happy with it. -- nm - Pippy Jun 2, 09:30
We'll never become a paperless society if people keep buying printers -- nm - rollo Jun 2, 09:28 1
- I can't keep giving out iPads with my PDFs on it. -- nm - Mop Jun 2, 09:43
