True, but some people want a normal printer to print out other things and this might be good for them.

For labels, thermal label printers are the shizzle

Presonally, I only like to use color laser printers for printing other things, but its costly.

very cool, i needed a color printer will look into it

Seen this beast in the store. Costs more than any other inkjet, but refilling with ink is very cheap, as no need to buy these nano 9ml cartridges for 15 eur/pcs. So is very nice for printing lots of stuff. But still, laser printer is the best if printing lots of b/w texts.

Based on average print volumes per month of about 300 pages....that's low

exactly. everybody needs to read all the fine print in their product pages.

that 2 year BS is insanely inflated garbage.

at best this is just a home printer for someone who prints random stuff here and there. they'll nab a few suckers who are too lazy to buy replacements every few months

Honestly I have two Lazer Printers a HP 1018 and 1020 that I use. Only black and white but all I do is print labels. I am still a label taping person. Have had them both for about 5 years now and they are complete workhorses. The cartridges are about $10 of Amazon with my Prime Membership. I would say I probably get about 800 pages out of a cartridge maybe more. Thousands and thousands of labels I have printed these.


I see no need to buy a $500 printer unless you are doing some fancy color printing. If you print lots of Shipping Labels and are using an inkjet printer throw it away. Buy a black and white lazer jet and move on with life you will be so happy you did.

I have a laser printer that I bought at Fry's for $89. The cartridges that I buy from ebay say they last around 3000 pages that cost about $10-15 each. But I mostly use a thermal printer.

I saw this printer on a tech forum site the other day. When I saw the price I almost started laughing.

it will placate environmentalists who will buy anything with the word "eco" too no matter what the price is.

i'm also curious if these new cartridges will cause any issues over time. who wants to be the first guinea pig?

I've been using the same printer I got for free with my purchase of a basic dell computer back from 2010 during a back-to-school deal. Works great and no complaints

Friday reality check my bad

[yotano211]

It does have really low per print cost of .2 cents/page. I might look into it after more real reviews come out. Its said to come out next month.

I have a laser printer, the m2825dw. That is rated at 3.0 cents per printing job.

I own the HP deskjet 3050 j610 series

I have an Epson 3880, I'll stick with it until it dies... or the heads clog, because its like $5-600 to repair the heads on this thing.

Right, If I'm spending $500 for new heads, I'd just buy a newer better one for the original $1300

[yotano211]

Hope you guys know that there is a cheaper cousin that starts around $380.

Owning an inkjet printer is a waste of money $$$. You get a lazerjet to print labels and packing slips and you will never go back.
