most affordable printer in the market?

Question

it's thesis time and i finally have enough justification to uprgrade from dot matrix.hehe.i'm on a tight budget and i need something that will last hundreds of pages of document printing.i checked cyberzone but they dont look helpful. any suggestions? thanks.

Answer 1

goto www.google.com type in top five printers and select the one that fits you needs.

Answer 2

Generally cheap to buy = expensive to run.

Depends what you plan to do with it. If you want a workhorse to last well, and provide good prints, but don't require "ultra glossy påhotos" go for a colour laser (they start cheapish now) and you get usually 1500-4000 pages per toner cart set, with inkjets yey are slower and inks cost more than champagne.

Answer 3

If you are going the color laser route, you should check into the Xerox Phaser series. Right now, I believe they are starting in the upper $400's. They use a wax type toner that is pretty cheap, and they print beautifully. I use my Phaser 8500 for making brochures with pictures.

Answer 4

if you don't absolutely need color i would get this:

you said it was for document printing, so there you go.

benefits:
-hp
-laser
-10 seconds to print first page
-15ppm black print page
-5000 page duty cycle
-usb
-includes 1 free toner
-150 pages input tray
-toner is only 60 bucks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817102149 which just a tad more then how much it usually cost to swap both ink cartridges (color & black) in most inkjet printers
-toner cartridge rated for 2000 pages
