Which Printer to Buy

[abhinav_sinha]

One of my friends want to buy a photo printing printer as he runs a studio. He asked the best in about 4-5K but I said to extend his budget. He is ready for 7K and nothing beyond that. he will be doing refill. Other need is scanning. An HP F2100 (about 3.5-4K) is in his mind but still want to check for other options.

still doing good. Whats your budget?

How does it matter how long the driver installation take. Its only the first time right.

Guys i hav the same ques....
A decent printer for ~4K
Purpose - printing tickets, some documents(mainly Black)...

If possible can include other options too...

get the cheapest printer with the price of cartridges being cheaper too. You dont even have to spend 4k for that.

Light printing: A decent 2-4k inkjet printer. Catridge price: always ask for this. Always!

Heavy printing: A 200+pages then a laser jet starting from 5k maybe less will do. However for home use it wont be VFM.

I hav no idea abt printers.. So suggest some good models...

I dont have much idea about models. I just went to the shop found a printer, quickly googled some reviews about it and purchased it.

Just make sure it is not very old and its cartridges are cheap.

My prev HP printer costing 3k had cartridges worth 1700 each C and Black.

Wait for a little while for more people to give in their inputs.

Theitdepot - HP Deskjet 2050 All-in-One Printer -- HP all-in-one Deskjet 2050

Theitdepot - HP Deskjet 1050 All In One Printer -- HP all-in-one Deskjet 1050

Theitdepot - Canon Pixma MP287 All-in-One Inkjet Printer -- Canon Pixma MP287 All-in-One Inkjet Printer -- slightly overshoots your budget.

Of these, which would b a good buy?

 

[Sarath]

Numerically 2050 seems like an update over the 1050 but I found reviews with good performance for both.
