Looking for a Printer That Has Inexpensive Ink Cartridges

2048Megabytes · 12-04-2007, 01:29 AM

I am looking for a quality printer that uses ink cartridges that are inexpensive ($25 or less). We are going to use this printer strictly for black and white text printing.

Any advice?

Samsung ML-2010... I've use that... Not bad

Toner for the Samsung ML-2010 printer looks like it runs upwards of $60 or more. Ouch!

Ahh, you're looking for VERY low prices then... Ebay them. Take my Epson C60 for instance, $60 total for color and black and white... Ebay, I can get 3 colors and 3 blacks for $10. Basically refills, but work the same.

yeah, i would go with a b&w laser printer, Even though the ink is more expensive, it lasts MUCH LONGER

one ours, (they all very) but we printed almost 2500 pages one one ink cartrage. So if you do the math, lasers are better

That's what he wants

Actually, the ML-2010... When you buy it retail, they give you a 1000 page toner. I got my $40-$50 toner from ebay, printed 3000 pages

The retail cartridge was like a starter cartridge...

I use an ML2010 myself. I've only replaced the toner twice and I've owned it about 3 years. Think I got the whole printer with toner for less than $60 on newegg.

I don't think you can beat that for a new laser printer anywhere.

The printer itself from BestBuy if I recall correctly was under $50

Even included everything else to get it printing...

Thanks for the advice. You have got me interested in the Samsung ML-2010. If the printer can do over 1000 pages without needing a refill that is definitely a good buy.

On TigerDirect.com I am seeing this printer listed for $65.
