Re: Desktop printer for orders

Post by artygirl »

Weve currently got an HP 3055A desktop for printing orders out but its constantly paper jamming. Some desktop printers are not very cost effective with expensive inks, we only really need to print black for orders etc, can anyone recommend one that can print a lot of black text pages thats cost effective on inks?

thanks

I work next to a printer repair business. The most common reason for paper jams is using the wrong paper. Maybe try another weight or brand before you buy another printer.

I always thought laser printer cartridges were really expensive?

Cheaper than inkjet, it last months and months and doesn't clog or dry up; best thing I ever done was buy a laser printer.
