Gᴀʟᴠᴀɴɪᴢᴇ Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Hello everyone, Since this section is designated for "hardware" I am hopping this fits here! I am looking to buy a new printer, and have no clue where to start. Primarily, I want a reliable printer that looks nice, nothing cheap looking, I really won't be using it all that often, so it doesn't necessarily have to be able to print 100 papers a week or anything. I have around 130$ to spend, thanks ahead of time for any help!
myuhinny Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 All depends on what you would like. Tigerdirect.com has many to choose from. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=21&srkey=printer The pages also have review tab so you can look and see what people think of whatever you are looking at.

The thing is, it's all jargon to me, I don't understand what any of it means, which is fine, I just want to know what you guys think I should get, I am not picky at all in regard to this subject, I just don't want to get a hunk of junk. I would read the reviews, but to be honest, I never trust reviews on sites like that, because most of them are written by people who just slam together something together in 5 minutes.
Advint Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Brother usually makes a good printer (Printer), and I don't think the cartridges are very expensive for this one. They should last 300 pages on average. It also has a lot of features I doubt you'll use. Good news is it has a power save feature, although simply unplugging it would keep it from ghosting power.
ethankcvds Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 If all you are planning to print is in Black and White I'd say get a laserjet. The toner cartridges last longer then inkjet cartridges as in they can print more pages, and can be left in a printer for a longer period of time without causing issues. The overall cost of a laserjet is a lot lower then that of an inkjet. Printed pages also don't smear up.
