Thanks for this awesome website.
I'm looking for a color (mandatory) printer to recommend to my mother.
I don't really have a strong opinion on laser vs inkjet (though I know the difference).
Here are some of the requirements:
Budget: 500€ absolute maximum
Country: Belgium
Color or black and white: Colour
Laser or ink printer: Whichever is more reliable and cheaper over a few years
New or used: New
Multi-function: Scan with ADF necessary, Copy nice to have, Fax not needed
Duplex: printing mandatory, scanning if possible
Home or business: Home
Printing content: Standard A4 paper, mostly text with sometimes color (like charts) but print quality is not very important, very few colored photos
Printing frequency: 50-100 pages a month
Pages per minute: Don't care
Page size: A4
Device printing from: PC
Connection type: USB, wifi or ethernet is a nice to have
I've been looking at:
- Ink tank printers like: Epson Ecotank ET-4750 or Canon G7050
- Color laser printers like: Brother MFC-L3770CDW or Canon i-Sensys MF742Cdw or HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP M479fdw
Ideally, I would like to find a printer that will last a long time, and that is not too complicated to repair myself in case of breakdown (meaning spare parts available and no irrepairable part).
Thank you very much,
Hervé
