HP cartridges are always a lot more expensive than epson ones, harder to refill etc i guess. You could watch ebay like a hawk, there are some good printer offers on there sometimes  |
My dads got the 1020, I bought the 1320 which does double sided.
Yes Laser printers cartridges do cost about £60 but the are far cheaper per page that inkjets

Frankly I think that would be too time consuming and expensive considering that a straight replacement would cost me about £30-£40.
So should I get another Epson or go with a new make bearing in mind that (as happened last time) I've hardly any spare cash?
Anyone got any suggestions?

Re: New Printer
HP are robust and my current laser is a HP LaserJet 4 and its 14 years old in January. I've had 3 inkjets from them never had a problem. Good quality and very good printers. All of their printers are coming down in price and lots of places have offers on at the minute.

Re: New Printer
I have upgraded to the next models but 1 of them was for the family PC which I didn't have control of. I was given one to me for free an A3 which I currently have for sale because its too big.
