Re: Looking for All-in-One Printer, Scanner & fax

While I'm sure you can get a printer for 100 quid, you might seriously
consider 125 to 200 quid. simply put printers in the low price range
esp. all in one units cost more to operate, so much more that given
your volume

"....up to 250 pages a month, but can go upto
1000 at other times. "

For an inkjet, oem ink.... that's about 5 quid a month for black
assuming a Canon mp500. Going to let's let a canon mp150 That's 6
quid according to my sources on Amazon.co.uk. This isn't "so" bad for
black alone, basicly an extra quid per ream of paper. Consider the
mp500 costs £135 and the mp130 costs £85. Sure it's an extra £50
but given your talking about 250 to 1000 pages, that 50p to £2.00 adds
up quickly. Add color to the equation, which I am too lazy to work out
the numbers at this moment and boom, that could easily hit 50quid extra
in a short period of time.

The choice is yours in the end, you may consider your use to be so low
that an extra quid or two here and there through out the lifetime of a
printer is no big deal. But do take the time to think about it.

The mp780 as pointed out by another user isn't a bad choice, though
very spendy in the UK at over 200quid, which techincaly in terms of
printing text is probally unpar with the mp500, color though I can't
say but the mp500 drops are smaller and the rated resolution is higher.
The mp780 has the autodoc feeder and fax.
