Printer Recommendation!

[Pen88n]

This is taught by another forummer and I find it extremely useful: buy ink to top up the ink cartridge for inkjet printer. A set of ink from SingInk (at Rochor and Sim Lim) cost $38 ($28 for 3 color about 60ml each, and $10 for 100ml of black). Bring down your empty cartridge and they will teach you how to top up the ink. Each filling for black is about 8-10ml (or less) and color is about 5-7ml. Can last quite a while. Much cheaper than buying new cartridge and you can print color for all you want.


Note: must bring cartridge along so they can teach you how to top up on the spot. There are different consistency of ink used for different type of printer, so you need to know specifically your printer type to avoid damaging the print head with wrong ink used (usually if you bring cartridge, they can tell). If your printer is still under warranty, take note that using such method might render the warranty invalid as it is considered as not using the authorised product. After top up, the printer may no longer be able to detect and alert ink running low (due to cartridge reused) so you will need to monitor the ink level yourself by seeing the print quality.

For my prev Brother printer, I also bought SingInk's empty cartridges (coz person said original Bro ones cannot be refilled) & ink refills. I fully agree on the cost savings vs orig ones. My printer can still detect & alert me on low ink level.

I've been SingInk's loyal customer for the past 3 yrs, but i juz discovered that Singink charges much higher than similar shops (on 4th flr) in Sim Lim Sq.

I hv used canon inkjet too, but the price for catridges are very ex… For those only need black n white can consider Fujitsu as mentioned by BeContented, heavy duty and economic too…

[Cherylaw]

Sorry, should be FujiXerox as mentioned by BeContented…

So which laser printer is recommend to buy assuming most of the time would be printing black & white?

On the other hand, if use for color scanning but majority would print in black & white. Which printer should I get? Understand someone said get Fuji-Xerox?
