Laser obviously, Brother MFC series printer are great, I use Brother MFC 4200, its a great item. Simple, sleek,easy to install, looks great on the table - truly executive. HP are too complicated, sleek at times, but bulky, brother are not bulky, in HP all-in-one printers, if a scanner bulb is gone, the entire printer is useless !! HP normal printers are the best, but all-in-one's I would vote for Brother...

That's easy. The retailer does not make money on the printers. They make money on the USB cable. Notice they usually charge $25.00 to $30.00 for one, since they know that you need one to  use the printer. Go to SAMS or BJs. They have them for a lot less money (the USB cable).

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.

They take a lot of tech knowledge to maintain and to keep copies clear.  The consumables are expensive.  How many copies a month?  How photo like do you want the copies?  How much space do you have?  Are you partial to a given OEM?  HP has anice one in the LJ 4650.  I like the Lexmark line myself.  Maybe the 550.  If print quality is a major issue, the Xerox line id very nice.

You can get so much wih £60, so put all this £60.00 on a good printer. You can't get a printer, scanner in one with £60.00, so best buy printer and at least u got a good printer. Later on when you got money you can buy a scanner.\n\nRemember, u get what u pay for but if you want your money used well, then definitely get a a stand alone printer.

As far as which photo printer is right for you, it depends on what all you would like to do with it. Would you like to print normal documents as well. Do you want to copy and scan also? For photos, I recommend HP's new line of printers. Photos come out clean and clear, waterproof, smudgeproof, and fade resistant for 100 years. I have included links that show more information about these printers.\n\nPortable 4x6 photo printers.\nIf you just want to print 4x6 photos, you can purchase a portable photo printer. These machines are strictly for photos. HP has a new line of portable photo printers that print 4x6, 5x7, and 4x12 (panoroma). Most have a LCD screen where you can view and edit your photos without using a computer. They cost between $100 - $250, depending on the features. These printers are handy if you want to print your photos at parties, sports games, on vacation, or anywhere else you could take your printer with you. These are popular printers right now because of their portablility. The photo printer used by the critters in Over the Hedge is an HP portable photo printer.\n\nRegular photo printes\nMany people want great photos, as well as normal productivity (such as printing documents, copying, scanning, or faxing). If you do not plan on traveling with your printer and want more funcionality, these are the printers for you. If you do not want to copy, scan, or fax, the HP D7160 or D7360 is a good choice ($150 - $199). If you want to print, copy, and scan, I own the HP Photosmart C5180  (does not fax, $199). This is the printer I recommend to everyone. If you do want fax, the HP C6180 has everything, including fax.\n\nI recommend the 6-cartridge HP Photosmart printers for photo printers. Many companies are now using the individual ink cartridges now for each color of ink. Unlike Canon or Epson, with HP you can purchase all 6 cartridges along with 150 sheets of 4x6 waterproof paper in a combo pack for $37. This averages out to 24 cents per photo and the photos are much better than what you would get at Wal Mart (Canon and Epson printers cost 55 cents per photo). The HP 6-cartridge photo printers are the most customer-friendly photo printers on the market.\n\nMy recommendation to you is:\nHP A616 (A617 at Best Buy) for a portable 4x6 photo printer.\n\nHP D7160 for a regular printer that also prints great photos.\n\nHP C5180 for a regular printer that also copies, scans, and prints great photos. (My top recommendation, though all these photo printers have about the same quality).\n\nHP C6180 is you want everything the C5180 has plus the ability to fax and wireless networking.

you can print pictures with any desk-jet or ink-jet printer by using photo-quality paper instead of normal photo-state paper. things to think when buying a printer are:\n\n1. initial cost vs running cost: ink-jet printers are cheap as far as initial cost is concerned but exepnsive in terms of running costs, such as ink cartridges, tonners etc.\n\n2. your normal value of papers-per-minute (printing speed). if you want a printer for home use, go for a slower printer no need to spend more on fast printers.\n\n3. more colors more beauty.

Most of the time you will be printin black/white documents unless your intention is to print a whole photo album you may take a lot of benefit from the laser.\nNow, here are some questions you need to answer in order to decide what kind of pirnter you want.\nhow many pages you print by day?\nof those pages, how many are color and how many are only black?\nhow much you have spend on the last 6 months in prinitn consumables?\nlaser toner are more expensive than the cartdriges, but last longer... on the long term, may be less expensive having a laser for most of your pirnting and keep the color for special ocassions.\n\nI have 1 ink jet color printer and 1 laser...and both are connected to my local home network...if I need to print a picture or some documents with color .. I send it to the colo rpirnter, if not to the laser...it have work for me.....good luck on your decision.

First, you need to decide what kinds of printing you want to do.  Unless you can find a very unique niche in terms of product or service, you may find fierce competition from FedEx Kinko's and other such franchised printers.

If all you want to do is black printing, you do not want to purchase an inkjet printer. You will save a lot of money in the long run if you purchase a monochrome (black only) laser printer. The bad thing about inkjet printers is that if you don't use the color about once a week, the printhead will dry up and your printer will be rendered useless. A laser printer cannot possible dry up since it doesn't use ink, but instead uses toner. Laser printers melt the toner onto the page and thus gives darker black images than inkjets could ever hope to attain.\n\nAs far as printing costs go, an inkjet cartridge will cost you around $25 and will print you about 400 pages. A laserjet toner cartridge will cost you about $70, but will print 2,500 pages. In other words:\n\nTo print 2,500 pages with an inkjet printer, you pay $150.\nTo print 2,500 pages with a laser printer, you pay $70.\n\nIf you truly only want black printing, go with the monochrome laser printer. Laser printers are built for heavy use and will last you several years. You mentioned that you want a Mac-compatible printer for black-only printing. The HP 1022 is the best printer for you. It supports Windows and Mac, prints only black, and is quiet, fast, and reliable. True, it costs $199, but you will definately be happy with this machine. Don't be suckered into buying a cheap printer only to find yourself replacing the cartridges constantly. This printer is great. Seriously, look into it. I've included a link.
