Any Worthwhile Deals on Printers?

Hello! Are there any great deals on for printers at the moment for Click Frenzy?

I'm after a decent compact wireless printer for occasional use at home. Colour/ the ability to scan would be a nice bonus but not necessary.

Under $250 after deal preferably but happy to pay more if you find a great deal.

I've been looking at the various tech websites having a sale for click frenzy and honestly I feel a bit overwhelmed. There are so many options and I've never bought a printer before.

If you've seen any great deals on printers that surpass my own needs, then feel free to post them here anyway because I've struggled to find recent recs for printers online and someone else might find it useful! :)

    Brother MFC's are pretty good these days. Officeworks usually price match. Pay a little more for a colour laser one. Maybe medium price-point would be MFC-L3745CDW. It's about the $500 mark and will do everything you need. Usually the printers that are going cheap are either clearance models or ones that are expensive to run. Consider that printer companies make a loss on the cost of the printer because the ink supplies cost more than gold per ounce.

    Consider how much you really need colour, even if you only print black and white.
    Over time it will still consume the colour toners, so you will have to factor in the cost to replace 3 more toners.

    Colour is what makes it hard.

    Colour inkjets will easily fit your $250 budget, but the ink costs will bankrupt you.

    Colour lasers are out of your budget range but the toner costs are a bit lower than ink.

    Buy a mono laser where there are many options in your price range and the toner is cheaper and lasts a long time (a page of text is only about 5% ink-covered).

    $198, but no scanner/copier function, just a colour laser printer. Has wifi & cloud printing though

  • Thank you for your help everyone and thanks for that suggestion Spackbace!!

    Okay I'm going to buy a mono laser. Has anyone seen any good deals around for one at the moment?
