Please help with a new printer?

Peterpoose

Hi all i need a printer for a very small business it wont get much use therefore im told laser is better as it wont dry up.

Spec i would like and i guess my budget would be up to £300 also im in the UK.

Wifi (so i can print of any of 3 PCs)

Colour Laser

Copier/scanner/fax

If you have any suggestions for a good UK company or site or even just the printer model for my price range if possible would be really helpful.

Many Thanks

Well as no one's answered you I'll have a go.

Amazon have a Samsung all-in-one going for £282 inc. vat which compares favourably to Staples which has the same model for £303 ex vat. It has pretty decent reviews across the net.

Alternatively, using the cheapskates route, you could get this Dell wireless colour printer for £134

and then buy a separate wireless inkjet for your scanning and photocopying. You shouldn't need to spend more than 70 odd quid for a decent one with cheap compatible ink refills.

Anyway, a few ideas to be going on with.

- £40

- £100

Hundreds to pick from between £50 and infinity, Epson are ink cheap, reliable for your workload, the £100 quidder is a 4 in 1 and has has Wi-Fi and Ethernet.

Both those by Richie are not laser - but I would not argue that the epson printers would be suitable. I was contemplating purchasing a laser printer but I found prices for the printer and ink were much more expensive. I don't regret purchasing a ink printer which costs less and with cheaper ink prices!

epson printer are not that good and the printer head is fixed so they no way to remove it if you need to clean it and they drink ink.. I go for a canon but not the basic model as the ink costs more..

Go for canon mp560 its got wifi and a automatic sheet feeder under the printer so you dont need to feed it paper and duplex printing.. it has 5 inks one big black that can print over 3000 pages.

Agreed The Grandmaster, I'll bet he / she was pointed towards a laser by some nice salesperson from a well known rip off Puter Shed Outlet.

There is no need for a laser, no need for 25 sheets per minute, no need for toner at £100 a go.

The phrase "" printer for a very small business it wont get much use therefore im told laser is better as it wont dry up "" suggests the advice received pointed him / her to an unnecessarily high end unit.
