Printer!

[Revolution]

I need a AIO/MDF.
My budget is not much maximum Rs.4000/-.
I need AIO for basic home use.
I don't need FAX and wireless.
I'm considering the following features though my budget is pretty low.....

1.Duplex Auto printing mode
2.Print,copy & scan
3.Cheap cartridges
4.Big cartridges as big as possible(ink tank)
5.If still non-chip model available.....
6.CD/DVD tray
7.Refillable cartridges*

Anyone ???............................................

 

[TheHumanBot]

you can lookout for HP ones basic all in one.
dont know the model no.

As far as I know HP cartridges cost too much.
Is there any printer which support refillable cartridge ?

 

[TheHumanBot]

you can refill them from any shop who do cartridge refilling.

 

[Revolution]

Really ?
Any HP model ?
Should I go for HP Deskjet F4488 ?
This model is widely available in the market ATM.
But cartridges are really small.....
How many times a HP cartridge can be refilled ?

 

[TheHumanBot]

yeah try to get Black one its sexy look.
usually i refill them 4times.
after buy new one mine are cheaper Rs. 940 Black Only.
i am from gujarat so refill cost just Rs.60 for me lol.

 

[Revolution]

Only 4 times ?
Is there any reason ?
May be its a HP's trick.....

 

[TheHumanBot]

no trick but i guess it will reduce printers performance
that what i think thats why i refill it for 4 times only.

@ TS
Is the HP Deskjet F4488 have all the feature you've asked in the post #1

I'm using HP officejet F370 from 2006, which have cartridge no 21(black)/22(color) cost around 600/700 bucks.

Subham Infotech & many other shop do the refilling part in chandni.

& towards Esplande some shop sell Bottle of 3 colors Black , Magenta,Yellow,Blue. If you got those bottle u can do it by ur self at home and save the 60 bucks, You just need to buy a syringe .

I don't think I will get those feature at present market at that price.....
Non-chip model are not available in the market.
And I could not find any old one.
And I can not stretch my budget any more.
I think old models are good for refilling ?
I know HP 22 cartridge is good for refilling but these printers are not available in the market ATM.....
BTW can u tell e detail about refilling cos this is gonna be my first printer.
So I don't have any idea about printing.
So,any other suggestion for me ?

@dissel

Would u like to tell me the location of 'Subham Infotech' ?

^^
Subham Infotech is the just oppo of Sobir Hotel, (A very small shop full with Cardidges/CDs/DVDs),
They also sold compatible cartridges(Amekette/Desmat) too which is almost half price of original one.

They usually took 20-30min for refilling, Hand over the cartridge & they said "Ektu Ghure Asun" & it is done. You can stand & wait there also If u want.I saw many ppl from office/small business came to them and refilled their cartridges in bulk, in that time refill process going to slow down for sure.
BTW, new HP printer's cartridge can't be refilled ? then who gonna buy those ?

If you going to buy the new HP printer, then first note the Cartridge no, & ask the guy at Subham Infotech by just mentioning the number can be refilled or not ? If not,then ask the price of compatible one to know if it OK for you. He is knowledgeable person in all cartridge segment.

This is my 2nd Printer before that I use Epson C41SX which is not refillable, I use Amekette as compatible.

@dissel

Thank you very much!
This is very good information.
I didn't knew that new HP cartridges are refillable.
And old printers are not available in the market.
