    Default Printer recommendation

    I would like to buy a printer. Does anyone have a good model that is not too costly for recommendation? A good colour print will be an excellent bonus.

    I'm eyeing HP Officejet H470 but it is nearly SG$600 and its older models are no longer for sales.

    say no to HP.

    Get a canon, not the all in one, just the printer. I think the IP3500 or 4500 is pretty nice, and the ink last forever too.

    You know what? I thought the same about HP. It's just that HP's mobile printer has got excellent photo printing quality.

    Thanks, Warlock. I will check out those printers you recommended.

    I have an all-in-one that has developed a problem, so I'm on the ;look out for one. One word of advice, get one with individual color ink cartridges. Mine has a single multi-color cartridge which is quite expensive to replace when just one of the colors runs out.
    If you don't need the fax capability, buy a lesser model without it.

    Yeah. I'm just going to get a printer. I don't use fax and most probably won't be using the copy/scanning function either.

    I know canon should pay me to do this, but their printer is the best I've used as far as ink cost and functionality. Epson is their rivals and they don't come close, HP is even further away, but HP has the best pictures printing that I know.

    But does the Canon printers you recommend have professional colour printing quality (as in it prints out photo quality)? Because my schoolwork actually require that kind of shet.

    don't worry, under non pro eyes, no one should be able to tell the difference.

    Got me a new Epson WorkForce 500. It has the separate color cartridges and also includes fax [which I won't be using] but since printers are so cheap, it was a good buy.
