Hello.
I am thinking of building a home office. Now I was wondering what sort of printer would be best for printing ~400-450 pages per month black&white? I also will need to print color occasionally for personal stuff. Currently, I have some old breaking-down monochrome printer and another regular color inkjet but neither have wireless wifi + buying separate toner/ink for each is costly.
-I need wifi on it for printing from another rooms/laptops
-must be able to scan & copy. Fax is irrelevant to my needs as I scan+email stuff
-makes no difference if it has duplex printing or not
-speed is not an important factor but it is worth considering (for my range, I am not expecting very fast printing.. 15-20 ppm for black&white is fine)
-$200 (+- $50) is my budget. I know there are some awesome office printers for $400-500 but beyond my budget
-ink and/or toner has to be affordable. I saw toners that lexmark sells - cost for those is just insane
-cost per page is a factor that MANY reviews do not even mention. I don't know how to consider this factor if it is not listed anywhere
Ones I looked at so far:
Epson WorkForce WF-3620 - http://www.amazon.com/Epson-WorkFor...=undefined&sr=1-1&keywords=all+in+one+printer -- inkjet
Brother Printer Work Smart MFCJ870DW - http://www.amazon.com/Brother-Print...TF8&qid=1410657265&sr=1-1&keywords=MFC-J870DW -- inkjet
Brother Printer MFC-J6520DW - http://www.amazon.com/Brother-Print...00EPY0JAI/ref=psdc14_t3_B00EANUUDK_B00EPY0JAI -- inkjet
Canon PIXMA MX922 - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKTA6OI/ref=twister_B00MW6YQJG -- inkjet
Any decent color lasers around $250?
Any suggestions? Recommendations? Ideas? Thanks!
