HP Color Laserjet 3700
by cs45 - 4/4/06 7:15 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett
I had the 3700 for a year and a half. I've printed a variety of jobs: small (100 or less) to medium (500-1000) runs of flyers, pamphlets, .pdf files, web pages, etc. for non-profits and my classes
I'm satisfied with the print results. I have found that off brand OEM cartridges are not a good value. Some leak toner at the ends streaking the edges of the paper if you run more than 3-5 copies of any document. Color matching is also acceptable for the printing I do--all noncritical, so color shifts are generally not a problem.
The manual duplexing can be problematic if the paper weight isn't particularly high. And is often a bit dicey even with a good quality paper.
HP toner cartridges have a reasonable life and a offer a fair value: 10 to 25 cents a page for what I've printed, which have high coverage percentages.
Speed is close to what was advertised (16 ppm b/w & color). It comes close if picking up paper from the bottom tray. Speeds drop dramatically if using the fold down feeder tray.
Overall, I'm satisfied with the printer.
What brand of printer do you own

I own a HP Photosmart 8150 Printer. I am very pleased with it. I use HP Ink and print many Photos, with good (true) color for most of the prints. I use Kodak Ultimate Photo Paper and have XP-Home Edition operating system.
HP psc1310xi
by Spockva - 4/4/06 7:18 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett
Absolutely the best printer I have ever had and the cartridges have a decent price too. I also like the fact that they are fairly easy to refill.

HP LaserJet 1000 series
by rosebud - 4/4/06 7:23 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett
Have been using this printer for about 2-3 years and
have great luck with it. Had a Lexmark inkjet and was
disgusted with the quality of construction and the
exorbitant costs of replacement cartridges. Also found
a location in New Jersey for replacement laser car-
tridges that averaged out a little over $30.00 each and
have not had a problem whatsoever. I did learn early
on that one needs to ''fan'' printer paper all around
before putting into feed tray, as this eliminates
paper jams. As I learned several years ago, HP makes
very good printers and I can attest to it.
HP 7410

I have the HP 7410 All in one. I LOVE IT. It has been amazing and very easy to set up and use. I am technically challenged, so I was worried but it has been great. I still have not used all the bells and whistles though. That stuff is kind of scary.
Cannon 8170c
by PJP - 4/4/06 7:24 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett
Scan light stays on (customer-no-help says it should for the fax [guess someone still uses them])
but this costs 30 watts 24/7 instead of the advertised 5 standyby watts.
Solution: added on/off switch (which cannon could not afford on this $800 machine).
Unfortunately, it takes quite a while for the machine to gansh it's teeth, whirr, spindle, ratchet, cam, cog, clunk, warble, and eventually get ready to be useful.
The buttons are not intuitive, but it does a good job of scanning, printing, and such.
What one gets for being on the bleeding edge of the "all in one" lazer printer, scanner, etc.
what brand printer do I own
by maxwell borow - 4/4/06 7:25 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett
I have a Canon i9900 printer. I am quite happy with it. It is quite fast. I have been printing the maximum size,13 X 19 and it takes aboutone full minute. The colors are excellent. My biggest problem had been a difference in color hue from that which was on my monitor and the actual print coming from the printer. This has been fully resolved by using Colorvision-Pantone Spyder 2.
As for printing papers I have been using Canon, Epson,Kodak and at times Staple's better generic brand. All seem to work well if one heeds to the recomendation of the paper manufacturer when using their paper in a given printer.
As far as fading is concerned, I do not have long time observations to make any judgement. One has to remember that when comparing "fade rates" there are many other variables besides paper; Such as exposure to sunlight,artificial light, type of glasscovering the photo, etc.
can only answer one, thats very hard

Minolta PagePro 1250W
by hjc - 4/4/06 7:29 PM In reply to: What brand of printer do you own, and are you happy with it? by Marc Bennett
I have an HP 932C Deskjet and it is fine.
After getting my Minolta LaserJet my Deskjet ink drys for lack of use. I had a Minolta copier for years flawless. My PagePro is about 2 years old and performs perfectly! I simply would never be without a laser printer no matter what the brand.
