    im thinking of getting 2 printers

    the first one is for basic b&w printing so i was thinking of getting a lazor

    the second one needs to be able to print to cds(the white top ones ) but also good at printing photos

    ive a basic ida of the second printer that i might get but the first im looking for some help with getting a good one that when the toner runs out i wont be stuck finding a replacement that is impossible to find

    With regards to your second printer, I've got a Canon i865 and it's a great little printer. CD printing and excellent at printing photos. The Epson Stylus Photo R300 is also of the same quality. Do you really need 2 printers? Will you be printing out so much to justify the cost?

    ye i do . ill be using them for work mostly . so the lazor one will be able to do all the b&w printing .

    the color one is mainly for digital photos . recently ive found my cam to come in very handy when working . ive gotton off clamping fines due to having the camera with me and been able to take photos of things i think could work better in shops .

    Laser printers have come down in price alot recently, but watch out for the price of replacement toner - sometimes it's nearly as expensive as the printer itself. Unless you're going to be doing volume printing, you might be better off with an ink-jet - it's heavier on ink, but less outlay and sometimes better results. Epson do some nice ones - going for one that prints directly onto CDs will probably cost a bit though, could you live with printing onto labels and then transferring? Might keep the price down. Watch out for the price of replacement ink on the ink-jets too, maybe go for one with seperate cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges too.
