I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

What are good printer companies? Fuck HP and Epson

[-] elscallr@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Get a Brother laser. Don't bother with color.

[-] 0235@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

people always say this, but 95% of what i print is index and reference cards that need colour :( I would love to get a B&W printer, but i need the colours.

[-] Saik0Shinigami@lemmy.saik0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Color Laserjet is the way if you "need" colors. The only time inkjet is any better is if you're printing actual photo quality stuff. But at that point it's cheaper to just buy it through an online company like https://www.nationsphotolab.com/prints.aspx rather than maintaining the printer itself.

[-] elscallr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well shit. I literally have never needed color for printing but I get it.

My Brother printer has been going for about 14 years, so I recommend them.

[-] notenoughbutter@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

OK, but what printer does your brother use?

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Also a Brother :P

[-] Kerrangutan@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

HP certainly needs fucked with a pineapple, Epson otoh, I'm not so sure, I have two eco-tank printers and have had no issues with them whatsoever.

[-] BlackRing@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

I have an ecotank too. No BS subscription shenanigans, painless to get it working. What impresses me is the lack of it breaking if it sits even months between uses, usually not even needing to be cleaned.

[-] Kerrangutan@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

And since ink can be bought in bulk, it's cheap to run too.

[-] I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Epson are ok as long as you remember they're descended from Tamagochis. Leave them alone for a month and they'll sometimes clog up for ever.

[-] Noedel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I have an Epson ink tank one and it's 100 times better than HP. Is Epson really that bad?

[-] TheBlue22@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I had a terrible experience with epson

[-] BellaDonna@mujico.org 1 points 1 year ago

Brother used to be a holdout, but they probably aren't anymore.

[-] Rhodin@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

If you get a Brother, it’s best to go with laser, as the toner will last ages. If you’re on a budget, the Brother inkejet I have gives zero shits what cartridges I put in there, as long as they’re the right shape. I usually have to clean the contacts on top of the cartridges before inserting like it’s an NES, though.

Canon laser printers

[-] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Buy a slightly older one. I have a cannon now, it's works great. I don't print all that much anyway, so I'm not too knowledgeable about printers tbh.
