Reccomend all in one printer

gremlin · 25 Sep 2007 at 17:49

I am looking to upgrade my Epson CX6600 (which has served me well) with a new all in one. The only extra criteria I have is that it must be capable of printing directly onto a CD. I am not fussy about the manufacturer and have no real budget so that I can consider anything.

I use a Canon IP5300 - cannot recommend it enough because:

1. Great quality black/white printing
2. Duplex printing (sooo handy)
3. Great prints on CD's
4. Throw in some decent photo paper and get high street quality prints.

Canon make an all in one version for £84:

The only problem is you have to use Canon inks as they are chipped, but I don't mind considering the great quality.

How does the Canon HP510 print on disks. Is there a seperate slide draw or what. The spec doesnt give much info

Also can you use a cis auto ink supply system with it even though the cartridges are chipped

I can vouch for an HP C4180 that I got off the Bay for £30 - Multifunction Scanner, Copier and printer/photo printer. It's just gold - Got a refurb and it works like a dream.

2nd that I got a brand new one a few months back for £54 and its superb.

Cant see that the HP4180 prints directly to CD / DVD. Does it?

Just make sure the inks are cheap when you choose a printer

Yes you can, but... The printer realises you are using non Canon ink, and gives you 2 options:

1. Put in new Canon cartridge
2. Continue using CIS and void your warranty (Canon will detect this if you return for service). You also loose ink level monitoring, but not such an issue with CIS
