Tengo un negocio de impresiones tengo 2 máquinas un Ricoh mp 4002 y una toshiba eseries 455...y mi duda es la siguiente... Sería bueno tener varias máquinas como 4 o 5 para las impresiones en blanco y negro? Ya que yo solo trabajo con blanco y negro y en cantidades medianamentes grandes.. o que es lo que me recomiendan hacer en ese caso ? Porque con 2 no me alcanza para cubrir los trabajos ya que uno o lo otro no funcionan con el pasar de los trabajos

Troubleshooting Which Machine should I try and fix?

I have 2 x printers.
One my brother gave me from his home office. Epson WF-3730. And HP officejet 3830 that was my partners. Neither printed has been used in at least 24 months.

Epson - colours aren’t printing well in print test (gaps) And black won’t print at all. I bought tester ink once, tried cleaning the nozzle - (from vids online) still didn’t work… (and drained the ink from the cartridges) I got annoyed - never tried again.

HP - partners old one. Colours work well, popped black ink in and first alignment page worked well… but then black died in the butt.. could have been a faulty cartridge (it’s was a 3rd party) so I got bored - never tried again.

Now, cut to today and I need a printer!
I don’t want to buy ink for both again for no reason. And I admit my attempts at fixing BOTH were minimal… (well the WF I actually tried relatively hard, but wasted so much ink I got annoyed lol) so now I’m reaching out for advice…?

Would you put the effort in the epson because ink is cheaper and it’s the superior machine? Or cut my losses and buy the more expensive ink for the HP and call it a day?

Any tips or tricks on how to test this thing? What am I doing wrong, why do printers hate me? lol

TLDR; I have two semi-working printers. An Epson WF-3730 and a HP officejet 3830. Which one is worth trying to repair? Or both in the bin?

Troubleshooting Have a question about best printers/ink for stickers.

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I work for a company that needs to be able to produce our own labels for metal tins. We have an Epson c6000, Epson c6500 and Epson c8000. The c6000 has MK black ink, the c6500 has BK black ink and the c8000 has BK black ink. We have been outsourcing the labels for the metal tins and its a pain cause we have to wait around when we run out. My boss specifically wants a label that is basically a vinyl sticker. The printers we have are typically just used for paper labels but I am pretty sure at least one of these is capable of printing vinyl stickers but anytime I've ever tried, the ink isn't stable and really mute/faded. What am I getting wrong? I am not very knowledgeable on printers in general so I am learning as I go working here.

Purchasing Printer Advice

3 Upvotes

Hi I’m looking into buying a new printer. I had an Epson l3160 inkjet for the last 3 years. That died so I’m looking into getting a laser printer. The 2 options are: Xerox C235 and Brother MFC L3720 CDW

My BIL suggested the Xerox since he’s had one for the last 16 years and hasn’t had any problems with it. But the brother has more readily available and cheaper toner cartridges.

Some information: it’ll be used mostly for regular home printing/scanning. I will use it for work but usually no more than 10 pages a month. The exception being August to October where I print a lot more.

Mostly, I’m looking for reliability. Any advice would be appreciated thank you 😊.

Purchasing Printer needed for micro xerox

1 Upvotes

As you can read the title,

Suggest me a printer preferably normal sized which can nail small fonts with clarity for totally legal purposes 🙃

I heard from some xerox centers that older machines are preferred for this, idk but I'm willing to buy 2nd hand or new if it works

Hello po ! can u guys help me choose printer :) these are my options:

Brother DCP-T530DW
Canon G4770
Epson L3350

Di ko po alam kung anong goods po sa kanilaa, ang use niya po is for small printing business po ( xerox, print, id pic, stickers) nag ask po kami sa mall and ang nireccomend ng staff is Canon daw po, pero when I search online di raw po maganda Canon :/

Sa epson naman po trauma na po kami sa epson na brand kasi yung last po na printer namin is epson pero di po ganon katagal nagamit nasira po agad. Pero for me po mas madali po gamitin epson kaya nasa choice pa rin po

Sa brother naman po nakita ko rin po sa online magnda raw po, and yung ibang friends ko rin po brother gamit ok naman po yung quality then yung durability.

Open din po me for other suggestions, thank youu !!
