Color integrity (or fidelity) depends greatly on the paper used, the printing method and regular calibration, if you are serious about color.

The best color printers are dye sublimation printers. Look them up.

I print several thousand pages annually, mostly spot color but some full color. Getting good paper means more than buying an expensive printer.

Almost all modern ink jet printers will serve you well if you use the proper paper for the job.

You could try a New Printer and then buy ink online from maybe..

I print out recipes using a black & white laser printer. The food I cook looks just like the picture but a little darker.

In our house with several laptop and notebook computers we gave up on trying walk to the printer and plug it in. We bought an EPSON WiFi printer and never had a problem with congestion.

Stop wasting time on InkJets and just bite the bullet and buy a laser printer.

Yes, they are more expensive to buy, but well worth the investment.

My advice is to just get a cheap B&W laser printer and just toss whatever you want printed in color on a thumb drive and take it to your local office store. It will be far cheaper in the long run.

I've never been able to keep an ink jet working right without running a test sheet each week. And I found that by using high quality inkjet paper, I get sharp images, whereas cheap paper gives me muddy images and colors.

I went the color laserjet for a while, worked marvelously for a few years until I had to move then the printer refused to work right again. Found that I could print pictures and sheets at my local target for less than a buck, well worth the time to just do it that way.

I've had excellent results with a Brother MFC-6490CW wifi printer I've owned now for about 4 years. I can send print jobs to it from any wifi device, including my cell phone.

Good photos and single cartridges, so you only have to replace a single color when it's empty. I also found aftermarket ink cartridges from Amazon much cheaper and last about 3 - 4 times longer and you can get 4 complete sets of cartridges for the price of a single Brother replacement cartridge.

I've owned a number of HP printers in the past. Switched to Brother and doubt I ever go back to HP - when/if the Brother ever wears out.

About a month ago I was reading about a new line of printers from some major manufacturer. What was interesting is it totally reversed the cheap printer expensive ink crap.

They went for $400 but Ink is just a commodity product and it would hold a ton.

They are just being introduced, and if you print a lot could be worth looking at.

I just use BW laser printers now. I got out of the Ink Racket.

Dump the inkjet and get a laser printer. Inkjet printers run out of one color of ink it seems like every month and are a rip off and real hassle. The laser printers last for years on the same cartridge! I do all of my flyers in black and white but on color paper. Brother is a good one to choose from.

I’ve got the HP Envy 5660 all-in-one printer. It uses only two cartridges for full color; I’ve gotten good usage from the standard cartridges, and it starts printing pages with very little delay. It also scans and copies.

[BuffaloJack]

HPs are the best when new. Unfortunately HP driver support sucks and the printer will be without a working drive in 2-3 years.
I gave up on HP, I now have a Brother and it is so easy to use, even my 4yo grandchild knows how to use it for scanning his face and hands and for making copies of coloring book pages.
At least once a month it updates the drivers and just works solid.

No instructions. And some ink cartridges need the electronics reset. Sounds like a very inexpensive way to go, refilling your own cartridges.

[dennisw]

You will find good laser printers for $50. Black ink only. I have one by HP and it is solid. But you will find ones by Samsung and Brother in the same price range. For a little bit more you can get it wireless....

But I always just get the non-wireless. The one you connect via USB. The black toner lasts a long time and I last bought a refilled toner for $14 on ebay shipping included.

YIKES!! now only $9 for toner cartridge http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-PK-TONER-FOR-HP-CB435A-LASERJET-P1005-P1006-P1007-35A-/400989023793?hash=item5d5cceee31:g:s-EAAOSw9r1V-iPS

I have an HP Officejet 7310 All-in-one, that is over 10 years old and is going great. I do not print a lot so maybe that is the reason it has lasted. I hope I have not jinxed it and that is is going to die tomorrow.

[familyop]

Get a laser printer that uses a cartridge that provides both the drum and toner. Check in advance to make sure that refills are cheap.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Stay away from HP.

[Jack Hammer]

Reasonably happy with my HP.
