Best Printers for Saving Ink - 2011We've updated our Best Printer's list for 2012. See here for our Best Ink-Saving Printers 2012 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheap Printer Ink CartridgesBest Printers for Saving Ink – 2011In the last year there has been a lot of change within the printing industry and discount ink cartridges. Rather than selling cheap printers and expensive ink, manufacturers are now starting to market printers specifically with cheap printer ink as a primary selling point. With this in mind, we thought it would be a good time to break down the printer market and let you know which of the newer printers are the best printers for saving ink. We evaluated 47 current printer models by Brother, Canon, Dell, Epson, HP and Kodak and Lexmark. The best choices were printers that use the following cartridges:The printers and all-in-ones that use these cartridges are listed below along with their features and prices. To make our recommendations more useful we divided these printers into categories for occasional, typical, and heavy users and highlighted our recommendations for specific models in dark blue.
For Typical Users: Printers using HP 940XL series cartridges
For Heavy Users (100+ pages a week): Printers using Brother LC79 series cartridge
For Occasional Users (less than 10 pages a week): Printers using Kodak 30 series cartridges
For Printing Photos: Printers using Canon CLI-226 series cartridges
*Duplex- Functions with duplex can utilize both sides of the page.
**ADF or Automatic Document Feeder- Multiple pages can be scanned or copied without having to manually enter them into the machine. Best Printers For Saving InkHP Officejet Pro 8000 If you are a medium sized office or just a busy home user, this line of all-in-one printers offer a good middle ground in terms of initial price and low ink cost. While the Brother LC79 printers are more cost efficient for extremely busy offices, the HP Officejet Pro 8000/8500 series offers a comparable set of models that are considerably more affordable when printing under 10,000 pages over the lifetime of the printer. The HP Officejet 8000 for only $89.99 offers very efficient color printing at the same price as some of the other common printers on the market. As for the all-in-ones, the HP Officejet Pro 8500 is much less expensive than the basic model of its comparable Brother competitor (MFC-J6510) with similar yields making it one of the best printers for saving ink.
Brother MFC-J6710![]() At the end of last year Brother introduced the most ink efficient line of printers on the market. With their LC-79 cartridges, these printers have a page yield higher than anything created by the other brands thus far and at a much lower price than those with similar yields. When using a compatible cartridge the price gets even lower to a very inexpensive .15/page. This is less than half of the next cheapest competitor and comparable to high end laser printers, even when just looking at black and white ink. On top of that they also have a very high page capacity as well as an impressive printing speed of 35 pages per minute. The primary drawback to these printers is there initial expense. At $249.99 for the cheapest model, these printers can be quite a large initial investment. If you are planning on printing more than 13,000 pages over the lifetime of the printer it becomes the most efficient option even when compared to the less expensive HP Officejet Pro 8500 ($179.99)
Money Saving Printer Kodak C310 At the lower price range lies the Kodak 30 line of printers. These have been promoted as some of the most efficient printers on the market and for their price range they absolutely are. With new cheap ink cartridges as low as $10 apiece and being priced around $80, these all-in-one printer/scanner/copiers make great options for moderate home use. Comparable models from manufacturers such as HP, Dell, Canon or Lexmark in similar price ranges will cost you an extra 30-40% more per page. Outside of just efficiency, Kodak's line of printers have received excellent reviews for their outstanding color and photo quality. The Kodak all-in-ones are also fairly inexpensive at under $130 and have more features than many other similarly priced printers.
Canon IP4820 For photos and color it is tough to beat such an efficient printer as either the Officejet Pro 8000 or the Kodak C310 but the Canon Pixma IP4820 is a solid middle ground in terms of efficiency as well as quality. Of all the printers on the above list, the Canon Pixma IP4820 is the only true photo printer with a photo-black cartridge in addition to the normal CMYK cartridges. Unlike some of the other printers in the $100 price range, the IP4820 has multiple color cartridges allowing you to switch out colors as they run out rather than a single CMY color cartridge like the Kodak C310.

Fix Print Head hp printer is best for saving ink and best use for printing in office work.
Ayka Buy Ink People are very concern about the savings that they will be able to make especially when printing and this is the reason why these products are preferred as well as cost-saving supplies like cartridges for HP. johnmartin Two cents on this. Buying a printer differs on the need of the user. If you want to go for quality Brothers is the latest ink efficient printer in the market as stated in the article. With all the pro's of the printer, buying it in a costly price is good for investment because you'll save more in the long run. In terms of quality, HP and Canon are in the top of the list because of the productivity of printers released by both.
Disgruntled I bought an HP8500A a little over a year and a half ago. I had replaced the ink cartridges only once and when it ran out of ink the second time I bought ink and replaced the cartridges. When I started to print it would not print well, it was spotty. I took the printer in to the shop where it was purchased a couple of days after the warranty had ran out. They tried to find out what was wrong with the printer and decided it was the print head and told me they could order one and install it. In the meantime I had contacted HP and they told me the print heads had a different warranty on them so I had to go pick up the printer and call HP to give them the warranty dates and they had me to go through procedures on the printer to determine themselves what was wrong with the printer. I had to purchase at the costs of $100. each time ink to finish this task. Once the printer ran out of ink the second time, HP told me they could not replace the printheads even though there was about two months left on the warranty. I am so disgruntled with that company I will never buy another HP product. I know me not doing so will not affect their company, but I feel they should stand behind their product. These printers will not print even if one color is out. unknown person thanks tk the person who tired himself to do this worh Josie So, I ALWAYS set my printer choices to "black only" to save on the color ink. The problem is the printer "Brother-465" will not print if any color cartridge is empty. Do those color cartridges "dry UP" when not used ? Because they seem to run out quickly and I almost never use color.
