Brother HL-L2350DW Mono Laser Printer | Wireless & PC Connected | Print & 2 Sided Printing | A4 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B077PY79TM/ ... RBb0SAAW3Z I’ve got this one and it’s lasted me 4 years professionally printing shit every day. It ain’t got colour but who wants that anyway - if you want a good quality colour printer for photos and shit you’re better off just using Snapfish or going down to boots. |

Still more than I'd like to pay however. I have an HP printer that's lasted me years. It prints the occasional email or game cover and does me just fine so I'm not exactly a heavy user. |

You are correct, I misread, it’s £1 per ten pages. That’s still bloody pricy if you get caught out and print lots of pages without changing your plan; and I cynically suspect that’s a big part of HP’s business model. My printer goes months without use then occasionally has to do a few dozen pages (which is why I have a laser all-in-one.) This deal is terrible for that kind of usage. |

The cashback worked painlessly for us, yes you have to jump through the hoops correctly but we got paid without issue and ahead of the timeframe HP gave themselves to do it in. With the Instant Ink it's worth noting that you can have a full month's worth of pages in the bank as it were. We're on the 100 pages per month plan which costs £3.49 per month, but if we print 50 pages in Month 1, next month we have 150 pages, but you can never have more than 200 pages in a single month on that plan without paying extra. (Which is £1 per 20 pages, although we've never gone over our limit.) Also the cartridges HP send are mega jumbo bastards and last for ages. When they are getting low, the printer phones home and HP just send more in the post without any intervention from us. Overall we've cut our ink costs by about 40-50%, and are on a far more convenient system than we were in the past. (And also because you pay for page numbers, there's no stress about printing a load of pages with 100% ink coverage or suchlike.) It's a great system and it works well. |

Do not buy another inkjet printer. Seriously. You don't realise how shit they are until you buy a small laser. I can go weeks/months between printing stuff, I just press print and seconds later it comes out perfect. No streaky output, no shitty all-in-one software packages to deal with, no replacing the ink even though you haven't used it as it has dried out, no trying to beat the in built chips in official ink cartridges. |

But Mali specifically said he wanted an All-In-One, not a printer. Start matching them on features (i.e. an actual All-In-One laser) and they don't look so cheap. Also, the BAD STUFF Trooper described there basically doesn't happen on modern inkjets, at all. (They clean themselves, the startup time is quick, cartridges are a non-issue because of Instant Ink, the HP Windows 10 app is great, etc.) |

Damn this forum... I'm looking at my printer (which is perfectly fine by the way, albeit old) and I'm wondering whether I should replace it and take advantage of that cashback offer. I've got a job on next March which will require some DVD covers printing. Doing it myself would save about £40. And then again in August, saving another £40.... I mean, it's almost paid for itself hasn't it? |

Probably not. The last lot I had done were laser printed but, they were designed by school kids so the quality wasn't brilliant in the first place. The ones for March will be different though so yeah, I'm going to have to think about it. |
