Hey everybody!

I'm sitting here typing this next to my Canon LBP646Cdw color laser printer in my office that is becoming a nightmare to deal with in toner replacements. We print 40-100 scale tickets daily on 3 section perforated paper. What I'm finding is that the toner replacements are killing us.

Genuine Canon 075 Toner is ungodly expensive, and the aftermarket toners aren't up the snuff yet, and cause streaking 9/10 times.

I'm looking for a way to maintain decently fast print speed without breaking the bank, so I've started looking into tank printers. The questions I have are mostly whether this would be a good fit for the yard? I know in the past there has been issues with nozzles clogging etc but that shouldn't be an issue with a daily use printer as far as I understand?

Can anybody recommend a decently reliable tank printer that can

• Print on perforated paper
• Print 2 sided prints
• Prints fairly fast (the canon prints 26ppm)

A paper drawer would be preferrable over a feed tray, and a scanner/copier isn't really a need. Sorry for the specifics, but shopping for a printer now days is like the wild west.

I am looking to buy the Canon® PIXMA™ G3270

Hey I want to buy a good new printer for my office that is with a ink tank and not inkjet or pixma what are some good option with a max budget of 200€ I want the printer to be WiFi also to print from multiple devices including my phone in the same house without wires preferably canon or epson since I know these brands are good

Hi good people, I want to make a self paying printing setup of my own (you can call it a printing vending machine). For that, I'm considering printers with high input capacity but at a low budget the maximum input capacity I found of most of the printers are 100 pages which is not enough. So, can you suggest me what to do? Paper feeders look also expensive. What about photocopiers?

Looking for you suggestions. And if there's someone who made this kind of thing, kindly please respond, I might need your help.

Thanks.

Our 12+ year-old Brother laser printer has been dying slowly over the last few years. I could try to fix it up and have it keep going, as I've done about 6 years ago, but there are lots of annoyances, especially around connection issues, so I just want to get us a new printer. With three kids in school, we constantly need to print and scan things, and having the current printer act up once in a while, plus having to use a very slow, small standalone scanner is just not going to cut it anymore.

So, I'm looking for recommendations. I definitely want to stick with a laser printer. We've used inkjet in the past and I hated every one of those printers. It needs to be a color printer. It needs to have a scanner (while I could get a separate scanner, I think it'll be much more convenient due to space logistics around where this would go).

I'm currently looking at Brother MFC-L3780CDW ($569.98 on Amazon) or Brother MFC-L3765CDW ($459.99 at Costco).

3780 has higher PPM (31 vs 27), more connectivity options and auto-duplex for scanning (I think that would be awesome to have).

Has anyone used these? I think these extra features may be worth the additional $110? Do they both use the same toner cartridges?

I'm also open to other recommendations, of course.

Hi, any experts on how to resolve this. We have had so much back and forth with the suppliers technical team, I’m just too tired of the cleaning and purging process. Maybe there are other alternative ways around it.

Ps. This is for our single pass printer usign pigment ink. We currently switched the positions to continue operations.

I was recently given a Brother MFC-J6740DW colour inkjet, and I've spent a good amount of time trying to get it into a workable state; I think I've done all I can but I can't get it printing without significant banding.

Print quality check looks not terrible except some of the black dots are missing (the yellow looks clearer IRL).

I can't get the automatic alignment adjustment to run - when I put the test sheet on the scanner glass, it insists I have it in portrait orientation (I don't) and it has to be in portrait, so I can't get past that point. If I try manual alignment, it asks me what number has the least lines, but for most sections they all look the same.

My complete-amateur assessment is that the print head is DBR or at least beyond my ability. As I'm just a very small business owner who mainly needs to print and scan text docs (and the occasional TTRPG resource on the weekend), I suspect I'm better off just buying a new lower-end machine; am I right?

Would you guys recommend this printer? I am homeschooling my children and in need of a new printer. I will be primarily using it to print curriculum information and activity sheets. Fast printing and long lasting ink are priorities. I do need to print pictures but that's not a priority. I currently have a Brother laser printer for my business which I enjoy, but that's fairly expensive. Thank you in advance.

Just wanted to share some realworld stats from my Canon imagePROGRAF TC20 after about one year of commercial use.

I use it for a small printing business, mostly for large artwork and poster-size prints, so it gets used pretty regularly.

In that year I went through roughly 35 rolls of 24" x 30 m paper, which is about 1,050 linear meters or roughly 640 m² of paper.

The printer itself shows around 462 print jobs. In my case, many of those jobs were long batches, usually around 3 to 4 meters at a time, so the job counter doesn’t really represent individual prints.

After about one year, the original PF-08 printhead failed and I replaced it.

I’m posting this because when I tried to find information about how long a TC-20 printhead actually lasts, most people only mentioned time — like one year or two years — without saying how much they actually printed.

I think numbers like rolls used, linear meters, square meters and print-job count are much more useful.

So if anyone else uses a TC-20 regularly, I’d be interested to know:

How long did your PF-08 printhead last, and roughly how many rolls or square meters did you print before replacing it?

Maybe we can build a better real-world reference for other TC-20 users.

I got it in my head that I want to print my own graph paper. Initially I was just going to do it for myself, but after talking to some friends that are also interested I'm looking into doing a run of paper and binding it into pads/notebooks myself. I've started looking into printers but there are a lot of options and I could use advice on what I need to be looking for. My biggest concern is print accuracy. The graph pattern is just a dot grid, but the spacing needs to be precise. Ideally, I would be able to print on both sides of the page and have the pattern line up. Is that kind of accuracy measure covered by DPI? Is that something I can tune on a consumer printer? don't really care about colorfastness, I don't need good scanner quality. High capacity would be handy, as would print speed. I'm willing to look at low-end commercial printers, I'm just not sure where to start. I'd appreciate any insight or advice!

I should say I have access to a Brother mfc2700dw. I've been using that a bit but it seems to lack the accuracy I need. Is that something that can be calibrated in?
