CareBear Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 HP 2600N. $299 at staples.com = free shipping too!!! (ok it is $399 with an instant rebate/coupon). I had to pay tax up front because I need to fax in some tax ID documentation on Monday but they'll refund that. And it'll be here TUESDAY!The ladies over at the Dish (shh don't tell anyone I've been slumming LOLOL say it's great for labels and I've been cursing out my inkjet and those absurdly expensive cartridges.Now I've got a few hundred pages of inkjet labels to sell off... as soon as I get the thing up and running.

hometowncandles Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Oh Carole, You are gonna love it! I got that same one about 6 months ago. My inkjet finally went kaput, but I had been really frustrated with it for some time before that. You are going to be amazed at the difference in quality. I had never owned a laser printer, just a dot-matrix :embarasse, hate to say I ever owned one of those, with my first computer I ever owned, and then inkjets from then on out. But the laser prints such clear graphics and letters. Just don't forget to change your paper settings when you print, like if you are printing regular labels change it to labels, if you are printing clear labels change it to transparancy, etc, etc. I've done that a few times and boy does it look messy.LOLCongrats, let us know how you like it when it gets here.Have a wonderful dayJennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapmom25 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 gee, if I had only known you were looking for one, I would have made you a great deal on the C3400 that we bought last year LOL. I insisted on having one for doing favor tags and then I decided favor tags simply annoyed me too much and took too much time to cut and assemble so I no longer offer them. So this rather expensive printer just sits ..... :undecidedseriously though, I was amazed at truly how much better the laser was over the ink jets we've always used. I didn't believe it would be "that much" different, but I was so wrong ~ it prints beautifully, you'll love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlena Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 The laser printers - what is the cost of the ink on them? I've had my printer(inkjet)since 1999 & its printed its share of labels & everything else! Its definitely paid for itself over the yrs. but am also thinking of getting a laser - but just curious to what the ink costs are on them.Thanks,~Carlena~www.carlenascreations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/testdrive/article.php/3521141The cost per page is MUCH lower with a laser printer. The cartridges are expensive but they last and last and last whereas my kids can blow through my inkjet cartridges in no time. And you can apparently get good quality discount cartridges...ETA: but if you don't do much printing the inkjet might be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Di_in_AZ Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Lasers are better on the ink and more durable than inkjets. I stuck with an inkjet (we just bought another one) because I needed the combo, copy, fax, scan, does photos. I am not doing much business this year so I won't have all the labels to print (hallelujah!!!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bells4shells Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Oh I'm so jealous! haha I've got one on my list, but with everything else that's in front of it, it might be awhile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 You will love a laser printer!Down with ink jet printers. They can become expensive with the consumables. Plus, the print quality and speed cannot compare to laser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrie Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 You'll be kicking yourself that you didn't buy one sooner. I have a Minolta, and the ink for it runs about 80.00 per color, but in the long run it's much cheaper and less time consuming than messing around with the ink in a inkjet.
