I don't double side print but I do reuse the back side of on the next set of documents.<br /><br />I took the cartridges to a local store for refilling as new ones are horrendously expensive and they do NOT last. Rip off, Canon!!<br /><br />I found a kit from ColorWay that makes it simple to refill my own. Cost me $70, has its own easily refillable cartridges and five bottles of ink that should last a year.<br />Someday I will buy a colour laser.

I emailed every single copy of writing that I ever submitted. My take on it is, the department pays for all the printing costs of its staff (at least it does in the UK). So get the most out of your student fees and email! Besides, trust me, you will be going through many, many copies of your thesis and the various incarnations of its chapters. That is a lot of your money to spend on paper and ink. And all of it will end up in the shredder eventually. So... email it all! xoUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792239353849439185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10179443.post-26751552713543354192010-02-10T18:58:32.353-06:002010-02-10T18:58:32.353-06:00C: The laser cartridges are more expensive when yo...C: The laser cartridges are more expensive when you look at them as individual units. But even then, it's not much. <br /><br />The laser cartridge costs $100. <br /><br />For our Canon inkjet, we pay $20.00 for the black ink (I think) and then $15.00 each for the three coloured cartridges, for a total of about $65.00 (or maybe $50, if I'm lucky and I find a good package deal somewhere). So, when you look at the price, the InkJet cartridge system is cheaper.<br /><br />But when you consider that laser cartridges last significantly longer than inkjet cartridges, the cost of inkjet printing is, in the long run, much higher than laser printing.Marc Vandersluyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07752912999085388293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10179443.post-41206570874584823702010-02-10T18:49:01.425-06:002010-02-10T18:49:01.425-06:00also, laser needs toner, and toner cartridges are ...also, laser needs toner, and toner cartridges are super expensive. i have a canon printer/scanner combo, and so do my parents and i have been very pleased with both of them, and the cartridges aren't as expensive as some other brands. my old hp printer used to do the two page grab too, or grab a corner only and then completely screw up the whole system, including the nozzel on the cartridge, so I know your pain. I am very jealous that yours will print double sided! i am printing out so many journal articles that that capability would be awesome.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06541164345086158189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10179443.post-26669843254264755122010-02-10T18:08:03.471-06:002010-02-10T18:08:03.471-06:00Marc: That was actually the other printer I seriou...Marc: That was actually the other printer I seriously considered. Man, the print speed and the ink savings were so tempting. But then we decided that we still need the option to print in colour, especially since all the printing that Chris does is more of the "hand outs for high school kids" variety (I swear most of his print-outs are of diagrams of hearts and things). Eventually, I'd love to switch to laser, but I still like having a colour photo printer.Queen of West Procrastinationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17216968234999269409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10179443.post-33327246381276519392010-02-10T17:05:16.867-06:002010-02-10T17:05:16.867-06:00If you haven't bought that printer yet, I HIGH...If you haven't bought that printer yet, I HIGHLY recommend the Samsung ML-2240 laser printer. It prints fast and crisply. And it only cost $75. (The ink cartridges are about $100, but that's still cheaper than most laser cartridges and they last forever).<br /><br />I've been using it since September and haven't had a problem (other than last week, when I little ripped piece of paper jammed in the mechanism was making it act screwy).Marc Vandersluyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07752912999085388293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10179443.post-71166549571242525152010-02-10T16:51:00.662-06:002010-02-10T16:51:00.662-06:00Cool!
