Hi There,
I'm looking at an Inkjet printer. My HP OfficeJet 5220 is becoming a PIA. The printer loses time & it's constantly a hassle to print over Wi-Fi. Plus, the way HP is going with the fact that I need an account to scan documents is ridiculous. Additionally, while a Laser would be nice (I own an old Brother HL-2170w, which still works), I don't print much at all & don't have much real estate space in my office area. My requirements are the following.
- Wi-Fi with AirPrint support
- Can keep time & date settings.
- Doesn't need an account to perform basic functionality (that will rule out all HP)
- Ability to use third-party ink if I choose to
- Document feeder for scanning.
- Reasonable (for an Inkjet) pricing for ink.
Any input will be appreciated
Look into Epson Ecotank Printers Lineup. These are another type of ink based printers apart from InkJet and Laser, where actual liquid ink is used and these address issues related to inkjet (drying up quickly) and laser (cost). Other brands like brother, hp etc are also offering these ink based printers now but i was recommended Epson here and bought it.
I have the very base model and I just refilled the Black Ink after a year, which costs $17 for Original Epson Ink. Knock offs at eBay are cheaper.
