Recommend me a New All in One Printer

Just wondering if anyone was able to reccommend me a decent all in one printer/copier/scanner - Preferably a laserjet one although if there is a good inkjet one about I would consider that.

Was thinking around the £50-£60 price range.

Thanks in advance.

    Sorry to disappoint but you might get a laserjet toner cartridge for that price :eek:

    This will give you a realistic idea of prices.

    :cool:

    I wouldn't, would recommend that you get seperate. Works out cheaper in terms of quality!

    QVC were selling a brother 5840 for £109 yesterday, bit out of your price range, but it has everything

    Don't know how much the ink costs though..

    Ebuyer are selling one of these for £78

    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
  • I would generally recommend buying either an epson inkjet or the epson all in one the compatible cartridges for these printers are much cheaper than the other brands.

    Please avoid lexmark at all costs - The price for the ink can be nearly as much as the printer itself especially at the budget end of the market

    Providing you don't need a built-in fax, then go for an Epson Dx3800. It is just under £50 (inc. VAT) from eBuyer. It is a great printer, and you can obtain compatible cartridges (not original Epson ones) from either Choice Stationary. Didn't include North Devon Computers as their site is down for maintenance.

    I hope this helps. :)

    Just before Xmas I bought a Brother DCP-115C from Argos when they were selling them for £39.99. They've now gone back to their original price of £79.99!!
    For this money you could purchase the better spec'd DCP-120CUI from Maplins.

    I have to say that I think the print quality from the DCP-115C is very good (actually I thought the quality was excellent when I've printed off some photos A4 size) and it came with 4 FULL tanks (which I've found compatables for at around £4 each) but without a USB cable, or a network connection.

    My other printer is a Samsung ML-1510 laser (B&W only and not an all-in-one) which can still be bought for around £40. It's possible to refill this printer for around £8!!

    Can't fault the Epson range. I have a CX3200 and my Dad has a CX3800. Good quality, decent price and compatible cartridges are available for next to nothing (Inkrite at about £2.50 each).

    I bought the Epson RX425 just before Christmas for £79.99 from Currys - wanted it now, so was happy with that. Net price was £75 delivered. Then PC World sale was £49.99 - back to normal now I think.
    Have only done one photocopy and half a dozen photo prints plus a dozen normal text prints.

    So far very impressed - very quiet machine. Photos are to my eye the same as lab standard. Cartridges can be got for 89p each - though not sure yet whether to risk the really cheap ones.

    cheers
