Hi, my current inkjet printer dries out too fast so i am looking for a cheap mono black/white laser printer whereby i can save cost in the long run!
Hope the experts here can help recommend..thanks in advance!

1. Mono or Colour - Mono
2. Print, Print Scan Copy (3in1) or Print Scan Copy Fax (4in1) - Just Printing will do.
3. Printing capacity per month - For school purposes only so probably 300 pages a month?
4. Budget - 200+
5. Other extra requirement like wireless, iphone printing etc. - nope

If you need duplex, you can go for Brother HL-2240d

$138

Toner
Standard yield 1.2k $54
High yield 2.6k $95

Drum 12k page yield $98

Hi sorry, forgot to include scanning of documents. Can you review recommendations?


- scanning of documents
- Color or B&W depending on price difference
- Preferably auto duplex
- Wifi
- Fax
- Printing speed not an issue so long as it does not jam

Yup all the models that i recommended all have scanning single-sided. Or did you meant doublesided scanning as well?

Hi, I'm looking to replace my desk's multi-function inkjet from Canon - MX426. Space constraint is an issue and I am hoping that the software will be as easy to use as Canon's because it is mainly for my Dad. Thanks for the help!!

1. Mono or Colour - Colour
2. Print, Print Scan Copy (3in1) or Print Scan Copy Fax (4in1) - 4 in 1 as Fax is operational.
3. Printing capacity per month - Faxes about 300, Printing can be up to 1000.
4. Budget - Reasonable for work, replacement cartridges etc.
5. Other extra requirement like wireless, iphone printing etc. - Looking for wireless printing so that multiple computers/laptops can connect through the router, iPad printing is a plus

so i assuming u are looking for inkjet and not laser printer right ? definitely ink jet replacement will be cheaper then laser and ink jet is smaller, u can go for Epson L series printers , those refills are really cheap but it doesnt have the wireless printing for fax but without fax there is wireless, or u can go for Brother Ink Benefit Mfc-J2510 those inks are not as cheap as Epson but it has everything u need. Lastly HP 8600 Pro it has everything but very bulky

Thanks for the fast reply!! :)
I am actually looking to replace the inkjet with a laser printer though because I feel that laser print faster and hopefully the colour cartridge will last longer.

Anything in mind?

your requirement that you need is color laser or black and white? if its color than probably its not possible cause the height is definitely taller then what u have shown.

only black white i suppose, i thought the toner can just anyhow change to colour if i need colour one?

Wow! dont have... all laser printers are bigger than this

wah..i see, means must redesign my table liao

WA LAU SMLJ ! GO ESLEWHERE SELL YOUR STUPID COPIER OR PRINTER LA!

HWZER asking for print only you quote print.scan.copy.fax ? Dont come in here is anyhow advise people please :mad::mad::mad:

Seriously this printer thread become people coming in to anyhow sell ****



I only recommend the specs and toner prices. I didnt force anybody to purchase Lexmark printer. If its due to the printer model, i can recommend Xerox,samsung or HP. At the end of the day. Its also up to THEM to decide which brand and model to purchase.

but inkjet cost replacement is cheaper la but if u want speed u got to compromised the price and size, one set of orignal toners for Fuji Xerox is around $95 x 4 = $380 only 2k for black and 1.4k for color but inkjet replacement for HP Pro 8600 plus is around black prints 2.3k for $52 + color 1.5k color for $39*3 one set is $168 only, of course there are other brands like brother also quite reasonable too

If print quality go for canon, if low supplies cost go for Brother.

If not go for canon and buy our toners hehe:D

I have been looking at this model.
The promotion is only at Challenger?

Since next week is Sitex, will the price be better?

Wah, in this case it seems like inkjet is cheaper for even black prints.
Our printing is mainly black with occasional colour. Just to check, for inkjet the colour ink will dry without use after it's installed right? But for toners? Do toners dry up too?

i see u can just go for color laser printer fuji xerox cm305df prints up to 3k for all colors, $649 print scan copy fax double sided printing but doesnt have wireless. original toner $110 for black and $160 for color so color is $160X3 + $110 = $590, but i suppose u dont need to print color so often so probably u just change the black toner only , the size is huge!! hahaha , toner wont dry up , ink if u open the sealed packaging it will dry up there is no way to prevent it from drying up once opened. but laser quality will be better as its sharper
