Discount Printers

Technology definitely bears a semblance of grudge against the common consumer. As much as we love low priced commodities, it is technology that keeps incrementing prices by adding innovation after innovation between shamelessly short spans of time. Now we have printers that boast of several capabilities, features that a printer can do just fine without, or would it?

There are consumers that have no qualms about buying discounted, refurbished, on sale stuff, as long as it doesn’t break down on the middle of something. Carrying the tag ‘discounted’ or ‘on sale’ doesn’t mean inferior quality, or make. These models may be in the shelf too long, or a model series that is out of production already, or has several newer models of the same category. Some refurbished printer brands even out-function newer categories of the same brand.

Here are discount printers that should change your paradigm.

Canon PIXMA iP1700 Color USB Inkjet Printer at $49.89
The latest in the PIXMA series is the Canon PIXMA iP6700D, costing around $200. It features two sided printing, 300-page tray capacity, and a max color dpi of 9600 by 2400. The older model, the Canon PIXMA iP1700, costs only $50. This is perhaps Canon’s best discount printers. Even with a max color dpi of 4800 by 1200 (half of iP6700D), the quality printing of the PIXMA iP1700D isn’t far behind from iP6700D. It delivers high quality photo prints in long lasting gloss and laser quality text. The only letdown is it’s decidedly lack of features: PC reliance and the lack of output tray. But for the price of $50, the price of your Nike would be considerably higher.

Epson Multifunction DX4850 at £60
When you have an ink jet color printer, scanner and, copier in one machine, it is always savings. Such is the deal with multifunction printers. But when it costs £60 brand new at www.bizrate.com as opposed to www.Amazon.com’s £90, you know that you’re offered a good discount printer deal.

IBM 6400 Printer at $2,595
New models of the IBM 6400 cost $6,995, even though it is a rather outdated model since commercial printers such as this IBM model are long lasting and heavy duty. That’s why discount printers like IBM 6400 at $2,595 is already an immensely huge bargain, with $3,000 in savings.

All in all, that is saying printers are basically equipments that allow copies onto hard media. And frankly most printer add-ons are for the ease of printing operation. Take those away, and ultimately you have a printer that delivers more or less the quality you should be paying for.
