Is This the Most Economical Printer? - Comments Page 3

I feel it's probably also important to mention that the toner used by laser printers is incredibly carcinogenic.

That may well be a consideration for some of your readers.

One possible problem (for me) with an Ecotank would be that the computer work station sits in my living room, on a nice rug. Any leak could ruin it. I have an HP 7520 with the usual dry ink, phantom empty ink issues. It has TWO Black cartridges. One has a Tuxedo bowtie logo (for photo printing) the other a pentagram (for regular printing.) I just replaced a cartridge, and now NO Black ink prints out. Cleaning the cartridge head has not worked. This SUCKS. I don't know about laser carcinogens, I just hope the dust-again-doesn't stain rugs or furniture. There are also LED printers (similar to lasers) out now. The All in One is Heavy. I hope I can get it in the basement without falling to my Doom.

I think I'll get a B&W Laser Three in one.

Another issue-I would like to have a duplex scanner for old documents and receipts. I guess I'll need a separate machine for that.
