New all in one printer
 

Hey guys, I am looking at buying a new all in one printer, and wondered what people thought of the Kodak range of three in one printers?

Re: New all in one printer
 

My missus loves hers, and is still on the first set of inks after a year! Very economical....

Re: New all in one printer
 

What one do you have Taff? Is it a colour printer?

Re: New all in one printer
 

I can't rate Brother high enough, never had any issues, the paper is stored inside the printer and the ink is cheap.

Although sometimes on a dark n lonely night the 'self clean' makes me jump...

Re: New all in one printer
 

I hear kodak have cheap inks now.

The only printer I won't touch again is lexmark.

I have an all in one colour laser printer from HP.

Re: New all in one printer
 

had a look at this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...pf_rd_i=468294 thoughts? Oh and any idea what ink cartridges it uses, cos I cant find any originals :)

Re: New all in one printer
 

Every Brother and Lexmark I had sucked ink like it was free... and their carts are NOT cheap!


Plus all failed with blocked heads as "I didn't use them daily" (their tech supports answer).

Re: New all in one printer
 

hmmmm so stick with Kodak then :)

Re: New all in one printer
 

I think Taf is drinking his ink..

with p&p works out 85p a cart... I would like to hear about what's not cheap about that..

Re: New all in one printer
 

Wow, that is a good price and it will work in the brother printer I linked to earlier, fantastic

Compatible inks can invalidate your warranty, and I've only had one supply of compatible inks I used once the warranties finished that didn't clog the heads, and that company went bust ages ago.

Re: New all in one printer
 

We have a Canon MP640 and the quality (especially for photos) is excellent (set of inks from Amazon = £12 for compatibles that are of equal quality to the OEM ones). Can't comment on the Kodak ones, but the Brother machines aren't bad either.

Re: New all in one printer
 

Looked at the Canon, it has been replaced by this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-PIXMA-...1947331&sr=1-1

It has good reviews, but the ink still seems expensive

Re: New all in one printer
 

Ink is always going to be expensive IMHO, it depends on why you want the printer... I use mine for photography so I need quality ink. If you just want a cheapo printer for standard documents then buy a cheap colour laser?

Re: New all in one printer
 

We have a Kodak 5250. Excellent AIO we have used all its features & have had no issues at all. The supplied software is easy & intuitive, cost per page are very low & photo colour reproduction is very good. Wireless works very well although I couldnt get it to work with MAC address control, wireless set-up is a breeze. Its not the quickest or the quietest but for what you get its good value.

Some people (not us) have had issue with the print head but from what I have read & Kodak are quite happy to replace those FoC.

Re: New all in one printer
 

Ill bear that in mind, though what do you think of Epson?

Re: New all in one printer
 

Having not had an AIO Epson I cant really say much other than the R200 & R265 we owned over the last 6 years worked OK as printers although started to fail recognising original or compatible carts.

Re: New all in one printer
 

I currently use Epson stylus pro 7900. I'm a photographer so I mainly use it for printing photos. The inks are quite expensive. I might just as well buy cheap inks is I needed to print simple things. So haydnwalker is quite right that you should consider what you are going to print before buying a printer))

Re: New all in one printer
 

Pretty sure Kodak use a single black and a single 'multicolour' cartridge, so they're off my buy list, I refuse to have to replace a whole colour cartridge, because the colour Blue for example has run out. Never ever buy multi colour printers, get something with separate ink tanks for the colours, works out better.

Re: New all in one printer
 

I prefer HP printers , the inks are not cheap but they do last a long time
