New printer - advice needed please 🖨

A possible useful tip on theEco tank. When you fill up the tank with the included ink, on the black ink, just leave a little in the bottle. That way when you eventually do get low, you wont be panicking to get new ink

But if you put it all in . . . you’d not be low then.

A very famous US basketball player, Shaquille O’Neal, took this same view regarding filling the gas tank of his truck. Hilarious:

Everyone who contributed, many thanks for your input. An Epson EcoTank ET-2850 will be ordered over the weekend.

The problem I sometimes come across is suddenly running out and not being able to get a replacement that quickly. This method gives you a longer grace period.

I like the video though

I have found Brother laser printers to be reliable and good. My current one is duplex (by which I mean it automatically prints on both sides of the paper if you want), sits on the network, is colour, also does AirPrint so you can print from an iPhone or iPad without installing any drivers or printing apps. But it’s true that the four toners cost about £300 to replace, which is more than I paid for the printer.

Brother lasers are superb. I’ve just replaced/retired a 18 year old HL5150D which was absolutely rock solid (like the HP LaserJet 4s of old) with a HL-L8360CDW which is perhaps overkill for my needs but will probably last me for as long.
