To Bubble or not To Bubble

croxiscroxis I am the walrus
I'm looking into a printer and I was wondering if I should get a Bubble Jet or a lazer printer. I will be using for generic college use. And what brand do you guys recomend.

Thanks

    bubble jets are good things now

    if you intend only to do short term, not used to often kind of printing by all means... Canon, Epson or HP will do you well.

    the inks are the costly part, esp colour.

    if on the other hand you intend to do a fair bit of printing in BW... reports, essays etc... get a laser...

    laser prints dont wash away when you get them wet like bubblies... and they last much longer
    if you want to archive anything you do... I wouldnt buy a bubbly...

    bubble jets are for short term 'wow' printing.

    lasers are for long term records and slightly higher quality

    (forget Colour laser unless you are filthy rich )

    If you will be printing lots, need high quality printing, don't need colour, and want it to be cheap per page, then laser.
    If you want color and are willing to pay a bit more per page, get an inkjet.

    Actually, the price on Colour lasers has come down a lot!, you can get one these days for a fairly reasonable price, Course the toner is expencive. but its pricey with Black and white lasers too.

    We just got an HP 5550 for 160$, good price and ink is fairly cheap (20-30 bucks)

    If you're interested in bubbles, I think you should try soapy water with a ring and blow through it [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
