Howdy,
I want to buy a printer but I have no experience which type of printer (Inkjet or Laser) and which brand and it's model is suitable for my needs. I will tell you what I want to do with my printer and you can recommend me the perfect one for me.
I want to print-out web-templates (cool designs), back-grounds.
I want to print-out webpages (that display logos, images, etc.).
I want to print-out webpages (that display picture galleries).
I want to print-out webpages that are search result pages with images.
I want to print-out webpages (dating, marriage, etc. match-makers) that advertise people's profiles with text and photo-images.
I want to print-out webpages that have small images like these but the images should be printed-out enlarged in good quality.
I will be printing-out my own websites and not other peoples'.
Now, as you can see, I want a printer that will be able to print-out both text and peoples' photoh-images on A4 paper so I can turn the papers into leaflets. Better if it can print-out on A3 paper so I can create colourful posters.
I also want the ink to last long and be low cost because I really don't want to spend on ink more than 1 pence (British) per paper.
I think 1 pence = 1.65 cent (just less than 2 cents).
I have been reading printer guides and I understood that dedicated photo printers are not for me because they can't print-out text nor can they print on normal paper but require special "photo-papers" and these are smaller than A4 in size plus expensive.
I also understood that laser printers are not good to print-out images and photohs.
So, that leaves me with Injet Printers even if they are slower than laser printers.
Now, amongst the Inkjet Printers, I don't know which type is suitable for me.
I don't like the sound of Dye because they take too long to dry and more likely to smudge.
Maybe, Pigments are suitable for me ?
And, since "compatible ink cartridges" (non-brands) are cheaper and equal in quality to "brand ink cartridges" then I guess it's best I buy an Inkjet Printer that can use all sorts of or atleast more than one sort of "compatible ink cartridges" (non-brands) so I can test different companies' "compatible ink cartridges" (non-brands).

it seems it is best that my printer does not have a 'fixed print head".
Q1. What happens when colour ink cartridge runs-out of ink ?
Do I have to replace the whole cartridge ? Wouldn't that be expensive ? Isn't it best to just get a cartridge where I can refill ink ?
This way, I only spend money on ink and not on both (ink plus the cartridge).
I don't know what's best for me so please advise.
Q2. So now, which non-duplex Inkjet colour Printer do you recommend that can use more than one company's "compatible Pigment ink cartridges" (non-brands) and print-on single side on both A4 and A3 normal, standard (non-photoh papers) papers ?
I mean, which brand and model (printer) do you recommend which is itself low cost plus it has 4 separate colour cartridges where it's ink/cartridge/toner are low cost too and longer lasting and cheaper to replace/refill ?
Q3. So now, which duplex Inkjet colour Printer do you recommend that can use more than one company's "compatible Pigment ink cartridges" (non-brands) and print-on both sides on both A4 and A3 normal, standard (non-photoh papers) papers ?
I mean, which brand and model (printer) do you recommend which is itself low plus it has 4 separate colour cartridges where it's cost plus it's ink/cartridge/toner are low cost too and longer lasting and cheaper to replace/refill ?
Q4. And, which non-duplex Inkjet colour Printer do you recommend that can use more than one company's "compatible Pigment ink cartridges" (non-brands) and print-on just on single side on just A4 normal, standard (non-photoh papers) papers ?
I mean, which brand and model (printer) do you recommend which is itself low cost plus plus it has 4 separate colour cartridges where it's ink/cartridge/toner are low cost too and longer lasting and cheaper to replace/refill ?
Q5. And, which duplex Inkjet colour Printer do you recommend that can use more than one company's "compatible Pigment ink cartridges" (non-brands) and print-on both sides on just A4 normal, standard (non-photoh papers) papers ?
I mean, which brand and model (printer) do you recommend which is itself low cost plus plus it has 4 (red, green, blue, black) separate colour cartridges where it's ink/cartridge/toner are low cost too and longer lasting and cheaper to replace/refill ?
Q6. Regarding the coloured inks, what is the difference between ink cartridge, toner, re-filled, manufactured, remanufactures ?
Q7. Anything else I should know ?
Oh by the way, if it's a choice between choosing a printer that is fast but low quality printing or a printer that is slow but prints good quality then I'd go for the latter. But, ofcourse, I prefer a printer that can do both (print fast and good quality text and phots, images, logos, animations, etc.).
Reply asap because I need to buy one asap.
Thanx
