I agree with Todd.
I wish the people here would listen. The inkjet printers are cheap but the
cost to operate is huge. We purchased 24 cartridges, over $700, in December
and they are already gone. That would have paid for the LaserJet and a few
replacement cartridges, not to mention the laser quality higher.

We are dumping all inkjet printers wherever color is not required and using
laser printers. When I did a study of the per page operating cost of laser
versus inket (those inkjet cartirdges are budget killers) found that even
with the higher purchase price for laser they paid it back in a relatively
short time. They also last a lot longer. I think because the shop floor
grit, grime and dust that coats everything gets on the paper and
contaminates inket print head nozzles. Lasers tend to be a bit more
enclosed, especially on the paper path. They also depend more on rollers
and not at all on the back and forth motion of ink jets. I prefer laser
printers with an enclosed paper drawer as opposed to the ones with a stack
of paper sticking out the top. My latest favorite is the HP LaserJet 1200
for about $400. The cartridges are about $60 (twice the cost of inkjet but
do 5X as many pages). And it is super fast compared to inkjet. I liked it
so much I bought......one for myself at home.
Just my couple cents on printers.

I'm hoping I can get some feedback from the group here. I'm looking at
replacing an old dot matrix printer on the shop floor with an ink-jet
printer. I'm curious if anyone has used an ink-jet in a manufacturing
environment. I'm curious how durability and ribbon versus ink cost has
affected your opinion on using such a printer.
Thanks in advance,
