Printer Shortage

sinkadinka

Printer in the office died today but I cannot find a printer anywhere In the country or on-line . Just looking a printer/scanner that can print A3. I’ve tried the usual places, Curry’s, H Norman, P City, Argos- any ideas where else to try ?

If you want HP, look no further than HPshop.ie
Plenty of options.

I don't think the OP asked about wipes? Also if you do your maths the wipes cost 8 cent each which is a bit pricey but they have cheaper options.

Gave you tried Amazon UK or european sites
Or ebay uk

That is incredibly expensive for wipes. You can get a 50 pack of wipes for a euro or two in most places, that is a >500% markup they are selling them for and they have an even worse markup on the majority of their other COVID-related items, e.g. these compared to these.

Their printers also aren't the best value for money and the first few I checked are both in stock and significantly cheaper elsewhere.

Hp charges an arm and leg for ink if you use other ink the send driver update that stops your printer printing

Well then, why don't you let the OP who was looking for a printer know where? I do believe that was the point of the post? Rant on:rolleyes:

You can get a pack of alcohol wipes for a Euro?

From a quick check, here is a pack of 100 for less than six euro, and they were less than two euro in the summer according to camel camel camel. I'm sure you can find ones for similar prices now elsewhere if you looked.

No need, the first reply already lists them all, including the ones that are in your link but cheaper.

The wipes you list cost £5.05 or €5.67 without postage costs and the ones you posted are 30mm x 60mm in size. The ones you say are a rip off cost €8.00 for the same amount and are 150mm x 200mm. I know which ones I would buy. The masks you linked to are from a seller on Ebay who most likely sends them from a Chinese factory with dubious CE certification so good luck with them.

Op, have you looked on 123ink.ie?

I'm surprised you are defending that website so much, do you work for them or something? Have you looked at the prices they are selling their other COVID-related products for? Have you checked how much 100 pack of masks are elsewhere? Are you honestly suggesting they are not ripping people off, or are you just defending them because you don't want to lose some pride for recommending an awful website?

In what way is selling 120 handwipes for 35 euro not taking advantage of people?

Wipe Dimensions: 150mm x 200mm... That's massive.

I literally posted the first wipes I found. If you don't think you can find such wipes for much cheaper prices then you are exactly their target market.

Op,
123ink.ie are good. They are based in Finglas. I use them all the time.
The epson workforce printers do go up to a3 and are reliable. The ink is reasonable and the ink cartridges hold more ink than the likes of Hp. The same as brother printers. I think 123ink.ie have a few printers in stock. Worth a try.

I doubt you'll find a comparable product for cheaper.

They are an office supply company as far as I know, I have no idea who they are. I was giving the OP an answer to a question asked, not getting into your grievance about something so I will let the thread go back to the initial question. Goodbye:)

No problem, I'll take that as meaning that you can't answer my last question. Good luck to you.

do some research and find what printers you are looking at have 3rd-party cartridges available for them before buying the printer

e.g. check amazon, the printer supply sites etc

how does a thread about printers get derailed after a few posts by some eejit going on about antiseptic wipes ffs?

here's a mad idea give the OP a printer suggestion instead.

I mean, after 30 seconds of googling I found ones that are even bigger but 500% cheaper (albeit temporarily out of stock).

Like I said, you are their target market.

I see Mr. does not like people being argumentative has decided to be argumentative again.

Everything OP is looking for is in the first reply. Why even both replying if you have nothing more to add?

Your intelligence is really taking a battering tonight... Want to unfollow the thread and pretend you won?

Are you suggesting that because the wipes I found in 30 seconds of searching are temporarily out of stock, that the ones listed that are 500% more expensive should not be considered a form of price gouging?

Start your own thread.

Anyway, you found nothing. Out of stock means there's nothing to buy

You might as well link the op to out of stock printers. It would be just as unhelpful but at least on topic

no just a typically useless, unrelated, unhelpful and completely tangential input on a thread from you as usual....

A website with inflated prices was mentioned. I stated that the website should be avoided as they have ripoff prices and also highlighted that their printers were also not cheap compared to the first reply.

In what way was your "sure look on Amazon" reply more constructive and useful?

yoyo

Mod: Folks please stick to the topic at hand, this thread is about printers. Not a debate about alcohol wipes pricing

Much cheaper, in stock alternatives can easily be found after another 30 seconds of searching, but you decided to defend some random website instead of spending 30 seconds of searching yourself for what reason I do not know.

And yes, linking OP to out of stock printers is not useful. (In fact, all posts after the first reply have been for the most part not useful.) Pointing out to the OP that they should avoid a post about a dodgy website and instead use the first reply where there will find the same printers but cheaper is in fact useful.

Edit: Sorry yoyo, posted this after seeing your message.
