    Default Printer Recommendations Please

    Hi all,

    My printer has come back from the printer doctors and he has been sent to printer heaven RIP

    So after spending the last 2 hours trawling through printer websites I am still none the wiser.

    I know that I want something relatively cheap to run, a document feeder and maybe double sided printing/copying.

    Does anyone have a fab printer that they could recommend?

    Thanks
    xxxx

    We have a kodak hero. Cheap as chips to run (an xl black ink costs £7.79 on amazon and prints 670 or so sheets, compared to my previous hp printer which did 300 sheets on a £17 cartridge). It's wireless so can print to it directly from my phone (useful for printing photo observations), photocopies, scans. Can also email pics to it, so can email a photo from my phone whilst out and it will print it.

    The Kodak Hero is available from Amazon with free postage.

    If you buy from this link it won't cost you a penny more but the forum will earn a little commission which we use to fund our running costs.

    I have a kodak and the ink is a good price and seems to last for ages.

    You can print double sided and the quality on draft (lower ink usage) is good.

    I get the odd paper jam but that's usually when I have forgotten to put new paper in and the last couple of pages stick - but it is very easy to sort out.

    Thanks everyone. So it looks like a Kodak is the way forward

    Sorry for the delay in thanking you but I have been caught up with Mr Grey
