Looking for help...

Any experts. please
 
Just wrote the below stuff pn another thread. But its relevant for you too. There has been a lot of discussion on this topic earlier. So advise you to check them also

Buy Epson Inkjet printer, you can choose from various models available. TX111 is ok if you do not need ADF. cost appx. Rs. 3000. Or else you can look at TX300f ( with ADF) Price Appx. 6500.

You can get refillable cartridges or CISS for these printers and forget about high cost of cartridges.

Do not buy HP / Canon as they are not CISS friendly and you will spend a lot of money on cartridges. Sure they can be refilled, but only a limited no of times. You have to spend on new cartridges after a few refills (4-5 times). Hope this helps.

Its not a question of which company's cartridges are cheaper. Its whether the printer can work with refillable cartridges. Hp cartridges can be refilled only 4-5 times before you need to buy a new one and then also its a messy affair as they are not designed to be refilled. In contrast refillable third party cartridges for epson printers can be refilled unlimited no of times as they do not contain print head like HP printers.
 
Oh great.. I didnt know that.

So as per you HP is bad in long terms of refill & all..

Which printer shall I go as per my requirement ?

Samsung ML-1630 = Rs.5500/-

most important feature in this is that it has got paper lid which is very important to save paper from dust, plus it is very compact.

Samsung refill catridges are too costly.

@vin mun

Among Epson or HP, which offers cheapest NEW cartridges as well refill of old ones.

compare the volume my man & as far as possible do not use refilled cartridges.

there is always something of the other demerits in all the models.
 
For those who have been looking to buy inkjet printers - Epson has introduced new models which do not have compatibles / refillables yet. it may or may not be available in future depending on complexity of the chip. Some of these new models use 73N cartridge, but cant take existing compatible cartrdiges. So if you want to buy, get your hand on eixisting stock of T11 / TX111 printer as they can be used with refillable cartridges. These models have been discontinued and may not be available for long.
 
vin mum theres a tx400 in croma , which they are trying to sell out at cheaper rates , does that take refill catridiges?
 
Canon PIXMA MP258 - 3000k or something like that.. been using it for 4months.. works perfectly and easy to use.. the refills ll be costing u the same as the other brands but do check it as i haven't done a refill yet.. def a very good VFM All in one Printer...
 
i recently got the hp c4788 wifi printer .. its the best for home use .. all other printers like brother , canon samsung may be cheap but after service , availablity of spare parts and print cartridges is scarce.

got it from chroma for Rs 5400 during a sale .. i highly recommend this printer .. u will regret buying any other brand especially samsung as they have this habit of discontinuing the supp;y of spare parts for their older models .. hp is best when it comes to after sales .
 
Thank you all,

Samsung is totally out.

In Line - HP, Epson & Canon

Here is the final list. WiFi is not a requirement so would not spend extra on it.

Which gives Best value for money, cheapest new cartridges / refill ?

Epson Stylus TX 111

Epson Stylus TX121 - 3000 Rs

Canon PIXMA MP258 - 3000k
 
@khanvis2009
