    Hi all,

    Sorry, this is a little un-related to property, but I am looking to purchase a new multi-function printer/copier/fax for my home office. Does anyone have any recommendations?

    I would like something that is economical, reliable and user-friendly. I’m not sure if I should go for an ink-jet or a laser. Any ideas? Are lasers generally cheaper in the long run? I have been looking at the HP models. Does anyone have one of these? I’d prefer to spend less than $500.

    Thanks in advance!

    Regards,
    Ozi

    Thanks Glenn,

    I think you have to be the only person I’ve come across who is happy with their Brother printer ;) I’ve had one before and wasn’t too happy with it… i don’t think i’ll get one again. Thanks anyway.

    Anyone else have any opinions?

    Regards,
    Ozi

    Hi Ozi,

    I ditched my Canon inkjet for a Kyocera Laser Printer about three years ago and haven’t looked back in terms of print costs.

    I bought a brother MFC about 18 months ago when I started my business and I love it. Ink is cheap, has separate ink chambers and is v easy to operate. I work mine very hard too – doing LOTS of printing and have never had any trouble.

    Oh – except once when I first bought it and I stuffed up the fax settings (my fault) and I called the Brother helpline and they very patiently walked me through the buttons I needed to press to reset it.

    I have an HP psc 750. It is very good. Haven’t had a problem with it. The cartridges are a bit expensive, but you can get no-name brand ones from Kmart for about $30. It doesn’t have a fax, but I’m sure the one with fax is just as good.

    Thanks,
    Luckyone
