    Hi All,

    Looking to invest in a new multifunction colour printer for a small business. We have been using a home printer but even XL cartridges, I find we are replacing ink cartridges too often.

    I was looking at a HP OfficeJet Pro 6970 but if anyone has other recommendations or advise I would be very grateful.

    All the Best,

    Mike

    Inkjet printers are always going to be expensive to run. How much colour do you actually print ? Maybe adding a monochrome laser printer is the way to go ?

    Most colour printers use all colours when printing black content. You can pick up a mono laser printer from 100 euro upwards with a page capacity of up to 3000 pages from a single toner cartridge - way more economical than inkjets.

    If colour is essential then a colour laser will be be cheaper to run but more expensive to buy initially though will most likely outlast any inkjet.

    This is an example of a multifunction mono printer for under 200 euro

    This is a colour multifunction laser. Seems expensive but if you factor in the cost per page and the networking capabilities it may work out cheaper in the long run.

    My advice is buy a second hand HP3600 or HP3800 & a cheap scanner.
    Spurious toner can be got on Amazon and they stay going for ever.
