Boxing Day Printers

[malaca]

A new printer might cost less than the replacement cartridges and you get a faster printer & maybe a cardreader as a bonus!

• Some of these printers only come with a 'starter cartridge'.
• Before buying CHECK THE PRICE OF THE REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGES.
• Don't forget PM opportunities, but doorcrashers are often not eligible for PM's.

EDIT:
The pre-boxing Epson R200 for 9$ deal is even hotter than the boxing day deals:

Staples has the Epson R200 for $70 ($110-$40 MIR). Same as R300 but without the memory card direct printing. Got one yesterday, printed a DVD last night, looks great!

Looks like my HP PSC1210 has ran out of ink, just in time for boxing day
A new printer will cost me less than the 75$ for color+black cartridge replacements and I get a faster printer & maybe a cardreader as a bonus!

No Name ink carts for the Canon i560 are available for $4 ea ( I use the same ones in my Canon BJC-6000) and are refillable (the syringe and the bulk ink trick works fine!).

For those of you who likes Lexmark.....

Lexmark X-74 All in one multifunctions $65 on boxing day. Reg: $89.99
Comes with USB cable ink cartridges.

Smart Buy Computers,

3 locations I know of....

755 Queensway East U#101
Mississauga South
(905)270-7845

5030 Maingate Dr. U#11
Mississauga North
(905)625-6712

Last location in Erin Mills Town Centre on bottom level of the mall
beside Bulk Barn. The sales rep told me about the printer deal they will have that day plus 50 blank CD-R's for $10

Personally I like Canon Printers the best cause of the "Think Tank System" where you can replace just the 1 cartridge for that colour as oppose to say with the other brand cartridges, if you run out of yellow, its just a waste for the rest of that ink cartridge

i wouldn't buy a lexmark if my life depended on it, except lexmark business laser printers, seem to be good, stick to canon or hp, for best quality consumer wise

Yeah, Canon is my favourite too, but I thought I'd post the deal cause you know how everybody has their favourite,

I think in the long run Canon will save you alot more money in printer cartridges replacement then the Lexmark will. I Have no experience/opinions on the HP brand.

[krispy]

Any of these printers print wide format (11"+ width)?

[Killamajig]

Is epson any good? They also have the multi tank system, and staples sells the "Epson Stylus CX4600 Flatbed Colour All-in-One " for 175$ before 70$ in MIR. It also has card readers.

[psypher]

the $100 Konica laser is locked to it's own brand toner by it's "smart chip". and couldn't print 2 side... the starter toner is half full. It's toner costs 108 at TD!

Is hp laser printer any better?

Beware!!, September 6, 2004
Reviewer: Michael A. Abelson "mabelson" (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This is my first laser printer, and at first I was very happy with it. Then the honeymoon ended. First of all, the toner cartridge is fitted with a "smart" chip, so you cannot refill it yourself. This is, in the opinion of many, an illegal practice, as it prevents you from using a third-party toner refill. Note that the 1250W (previous model) does not have this "feature," so you may be better off with that one.
Do not, ever, try to use the duplex printing feature (print on both sides) of the 1350W. If your document ends with an odd-numbered page, the resulting output is misnumbered! Also do not do anything on your computer concurrently with printing, as the driver has a very short attention span, and forgets which page it is printing.
Many one-sided pages emerge smudged on the reverse side.
Paper feeding is fair, but occasionally the printer stops with a "jam" message. You must open the cover and look for a sheet of paper jammed inside, but you will not find one.
Honestly, forget Minolta and look elsewhere. For real!

Great as a dedicated PC Printer, not as a network printer., September 3, 2004
Reviewer: V. Garcia "VinMan" - See all my reviews

Warning !!! This is a GDI printer. Therefore you can not set this printer to work on a home network using dedicated TCP/IP print servers (i.e., D-Link DP-301P+, Linksys EtherFast Print Servers, etc.). As a GDI printer it does not have a builtin command processor. In other words it is a HOST based printer relying on your PC's processor as the brains to process print jobs. I made this mistake!!! Be forewarned !!!! Do not buy this product if you wish to use it on a home network!!!

hey what do u guys think i should get, the i560 from CC or i960d? I check the review and i560 seem to be better because they use less ink printing.
I want one that can last, use less ink and print really nice photo quality. Don't care about the print speed at all!

I have the i560, and print quality, and print speed, is very good. Its a nice looking, compact printer, with a printer tray that folds nicely into the printer when not in use. Separate ink cartridges for each colour, and the ability to use bulk ink should save money over the long run, although I have yet to use up the ink cartridges (I don't print very much at home). Photo print quality should be good, although I haven't tested it yet myself, and I don't think you'd see a huge improvement in photo quality for the i960D, if any, especially when printing wallet or 4x8 photos.

I don't see the point in paying an extra $75 for a printer, when you can get solid performance for $25.

My gf needs a new printer, and I am thinking about picking up a second i560 for her from CC.

EDIT: Just checked, the i960 (but not i960D, can't find this model) appears to be OOS online at FS. Another reason to get the i560 from CC.

EDIT: Here's a good review on the i560.

EDIT: Here's Canon information on each: i560, and i960. i560 has identical resolution to i960, at 4800 x 1200 dpi. They appear to use the same magenta/cyan/yellow ink system, although the i960 has 6 tanks versus the 4 on the i560. The i960 allows a second tank of cyan and magenta cartridges, and uses a different black ink cartridge. Size-wise, the i560 is the clear winner here, at 16.5" W x 6.8" H x 10.8" D to the i960's 16.5" W x 12.2" D x 7.3" H, so same width, but i560 is shorter and shallower, and has the nice tray fold-up feature. But the i960 beats the i560 in its nozzles configuration, with 3,072 nozzles on the i960 versus 1,600 nozzles on the i560. It's worth noting that both of these printers appear to be released late in 2003, so some 2004 models at a similar price point may exceed their performance.

For this and for those who are looking for Canon printers:

Check THG, it lists nearly all of Canon's printers with the pros and cons for each.
