CISS Printers vs Laser Printers - Which is more Cost Efficient and Reliable?

  • Hi po Guys and Gals,

    I\'m looking for a printer na Efficient meaning hindi po kailangan ng repairs or maintenance after a few months at the same time matipid din po pag nag priprint.

    base sa experience ko po sa CISS printers (CANON IP2770, IP1980, IP1900, MP287)
    mabilis masira yung cartridges nila at rollers pag tagal taga. matipid nga sya sa print pero problema naman kasi kailangan mo lagi palitan ng cartridges.

    mga monthly printing job po namin is around 500-1000 pages per month.

    And if ever naman po na lumipat ako sa monochrome laser printers matipid ba sa printing cost since medyo mahal ang toner.

    any suggestion na din po kung anong printer ang maganda bilin. salamat mga ka TPC Members :)

    these printer models you mentioned are not meant for heavy usage in the first place. most people misunderstand that, like using a mallet for a job requiring a jackhammer.

    we own the IP1900 and in use for nearly 4 years now. For the children\'s school needs and occasional office work.
  • I agree with you. That\'s why I\'m looking for alternatives, A reliable printer with low maintenance for a small office.
  • Matipid ang laser and most models have cartriges that can be refilled. Hindi din nagbabara unlike ciss. And most of all,mas mabilis mag print. The only downside is black lang unlike ciss na full color. Hindi na kasi economical ang color laser.
  • primarily ano yung gamit ng printer? kung mejo malaki ang print volume per day (upwards 100 pages) get a RISO if you can afford one :)

    kidding aside, get a proper office printer, laser at least. HP, brother or fuji xerox are excellent office brands. naka-score ako ng fuji xerox na color laser for more than 50% off 2 years ago from a warehouse sale in pasong tamo extension. hanggang ngayon di pa napapalitan yung toner kasi sa bahay lang ang gamit. sulit na sulit ang 5k namin hehehe

    pero if you print photos, an inkjet office printer is more suitable to you. significantly more reliable than desktop printers. costs less in the long run compared to CISS-converted printers too. epson and canon are kings here
