Almost every laser printer you purchase is going to have the same resolution 600x600.   Singe the ink is a powder there will be no smudging, running or smearing.\n\nThe main factor you are probably going to want to look at would be cost per page.   The lowest cost per page generally goes to HP and Samsung.

Ok, first of all, unless you are buying a laser printer that can handle input from DOS and uses an internal font, then the computer is sending VASTLY more than a few K to print even a simple letter.\n\nThe reason is that the image is sent over as (for example) a 600 x 600 dpi bitmap.  If you are printing a full page, it can be in the megabytes in theory.\n\nI do agree though, that the computer will handle this effortlessly.\n\nAs for whether this is a feature or not, it is a way to make the printer cheaper - like video cards that use the computers memory - if you are after a REALLY cheap printer, this might fit the bill nicely.\n\nDo bear in mind though, that COLOUR lasers can be found for under £200 / $400 if you shop around. It may be out of your price range, but if if "close", perhaps something to conisder....

I don't think you can do dye sub printing on fabric, at least not in a home type of environment.  Maybe a specialty shop can, but even then i'd think that ink printing on fabric would be better, except for color washing because of the ink bleeding.

Check out the HP PSC 1510 All-One-Printer.  Cost less than $90 and prints, scans, and copies.  I also got $20 rebate at costco. \nE

I like Print Master. I have the Platinum 12 version. It lets you curve text & it doesn't matter what you use for a printer. Good Luck.

The speed will usually be listed in pages per minute (ppm). Laser machines will print faster even if the listed ppm is lower than an inkjet. Inkjets list ppm based on lowest quality, laserjets list it based on average quality. Laserjet machines cost alot more though, especially if they print in color.\n\nHP and Epson are typically good brands. Brother and Lexmark are the worst brands and the most likely to die. I used to sell alot of all in one machines at Office Depot and I recieved alot of complaints on the Brother and Lexmark machines to the point where I would completely advise people never to buy them.

Look for water mark images by holding up to the light.  Look for plastic strip. Look for color changing ink,etc.

They are more expensive initially, but a laser printer will save you money in the long run.  They use toner powder instead of ink, and many of them have cartridges that you can easily refill yourself.

I have the HP Photosmart 3210 and absolutely love it. I use mine mostly for printing photos, so I don't have the one with fax. But is super fast and has awsome quality. One of the best printers I have ever owned. The HP Photosmart 3310 is the same printer, but also has the fax. Definately worth the money, I wouldn't give it up for anything.\n\nIf you are going to use it in an office, I have the HP office jet 6210 and also love it. Not quite as much as my 3210. But this is more for an office and works great for that. \n\nIf you will be doing more photos than regular printing definately go for the 3310, if you go for the office use go for the 6210.\n\nHowever, I use my 3210 for office printing as well and it works perfectly. Prints at an amazingly fast rate. I forget to pull the tray out sometimes and it shoots paper all the way across the room.

epsons arent the best idea (as you've probably already figured out). like you said, the ink isn't cheap and it's tough to keep the ink from clotting up in there. laser printers are the way to go. they last much longer, print thousands of pages before needing a new toner, and toners can be found online for a decent price (they might cost more than an inkjet cartridge, but just keep in mind you wont have to buy them as often). \n\nif youre still looking for an inkjet, take a look at the HP lines. theyre fast, dependable, and not too expensive.\n\n*dont buy ink (toners or cartridges) at the store. check online and you'll find them for significantly less.

if you want to print quality photographs buy an Epsom. They have separate ink cartridges fr each tone and there are excellent value. Expect to pay around £80-£100 for a descent one.  Check out comet on line for offers, tesco are also pretty good for printer prices especially the inks. I used an Epsom Stylus DX4800 for my university portfolio presentation to industry professionals for my finals and the prints where of a very high standard.\n\nif however you want to print a lot of word documents as well then go for a HP printer. There not as good on photo quality but it's a much faster text printer.

My grandmother has the HP 1410, which is what the F370 was called a year ago. She's had it a couple of years and it still works fine. For what my grandmother uses it for, I'd rate it a strong 9. I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the F370.\n\nOne thing to remember, though, is that this is a low end printer. It's made for people who don't really print that much. The ink cartridges in this printer don't hold very much ink. Sometimes people who print a lot will purchase a printer like this because of it's cheap price. But then they find themselves replacing the ink cartridges too often. So, for people who do moderate printing, this isn't the ideal printer.\n\nPersonally, I would spend $30 more and purchase the C3180 (which is a step up from the F380). It is built a little bit better and has a few more features I think you would like. This printer also holds smaller ink cartridges.\n\nIf you plan on printing often, look into the HP C4180. It uses cartridges that hold more ink, it prints nice photos without a computer. This machine costs $150, but you'll be more satisfied with your purchase.\n\nOf course, it's up to you. If you don't print that often the HP F370 will be perfect for you. Cartridges are inexpensive, and so is the printer. Happy buying!\n\nP.S. If you happen to come across some extra money, take a look into the HP C5180. I have this printer, and it is the best one I've ever owned.

I've given up completely with Epson printers.  I think I've had 4 altogether (or about 10 if you count all the replacements).  Never had a 2200 model.  Had a 7800 (acceptable) a C70 and a C60 (appauling) and a basic printer that I can't remember the model number of (dire).\n\nWith the exception of the 7800 I was constantly in maintenance mode, alligning print heads, cleaning nozzles, replacing cartridges etc.  I personally found them to be extremely slow, unreliable and nowhere near as good a quality as was made out.\n\nFrom experience I'd certainly recommend going for a laser printer over an inkjet for normal black and white printing.\n\nI've had or still have Panasonic, Brother and Canon printers which have given me no trouble.  The Panasonic finally got thrown out the other day after about 10 or 12 years of faithful service and printing over half a million pages.  Other than routine servicing there was never a problem with it.  No problems with Canon and the Brother just prints and prints and prints and hardley ever needs new cartidges.\n\nGiven a choice of another Epson or pen and paper I'd stick with the pen and paper.

Acoustica CD Label Maker 2.34\nEasy CD Creater,\nNero\n\nThose have DVD labeling software. But for qualityof labeling, you should think the 2nd choice that, buy the printer equipmented with DVD disc printing. It will print on the DVD directly (special printable DVD) and require no hand job. It will make your label more professional and perfect. For example: Epson R800\n\nd10v01b
