I would like to start this topic where people can discuss their latest HARDWARE PURCHASE. By Hardware I mean - anything related to electronics, computers, gadgets, Phones, LCD's, Laptops etc. etc.

I would like people to add in short why they purchased this piece of hardware.

Also its COST & PLACE of purchase - to help others; and a WEB LINK of its specifcations and any other related Link/Topic you have started elsewhere to help others...

Let me make a start -

I have purchased yesterday a HP LASERJET 1007 B&W laser Printer @ Rs. 5,400/- (MRP Rs. 7000/-) from Nehru Place, New Delhi. Though the extra cartridge still costs around 3K but its easily refilled on the street for 300 bucks..

Link - http://h10010.www1.h...20Printer&cc=in

Why - I was looking to replace the cartridges of my old Xerox Phaser 6100 and HP laserJet 5P and their cost was nearly the same as this new printer hardware; so I decided to go for a New Hardware instead...

I would request Rimwebian's to kindly contribute en-mass with THEIR LATEST PURCHASES....

No, but costlier options for that are available; I didnt need it so went for the rock bottom price one...

this is nice basic printer of 1xxx series from HP... my dad is using it for abt a year.. the toner is also cheap..

[Maulik.Parekh]

Yes .. refilling it also takes no time if you know the right technique.

I purchase the toner & refill it myself .. Believe me you can do it in 15 minutes once you know the technique. I bring its toner for 50 bucks (100g) which prints me 2500 pgs apprx ..

Rs 50 for 2500 pgs .. damn cheap .. I used to refill it from outside but it took me 30 min of travel & 30 min of waiting time ... so instead i refill it myself

If anybody needs technique PM me..

I know what you are saying, HP (Printer company) make more profit in INK than Selling printer.

[razortooth]

I totally agree with Hetal here. Companies making products especially like printers for normal customers make the machine Cheap, and price their supported accessories at higher prices... HP follow the same method.
I think every company follow this method.

But when it comes to Mass pprinting and faster printitg... the choices are narrow and products costs huge amount. But main concern of the company is to make printing process as economical as possibial. because people who buy these expensive printers looks for economical solution for their mass printing.

My fren bought a printer couple of mont ago, its of XEROX and capable of printing 48ppm in 1 minute both sided. It cost him mingbogling 3.5Lac
Number of pages he needs to print per month is obviously a huge figure.

But for small office and home printing (100~300 pages per day requirement), i think these cheap printers are very pretty good.

@ Hitesh

Universal Truth

all Consumer Printing Company make More Profit in Selling Ink and Toner all Entry Level Printer are sold at loss

My Lab requires daily Print of 1000 A4 sheets daily for reports, from 2004 onwards we have switchover to Laser printing completely for our needs, we have bought 6 Small printer and 3 medium printer during this time. I shall share some of my Experience to use printing optimally:

1) Refill your cartridge with OEM compatible ink cheap ones will damage drum prematurely.
2) On Every 3rd refill Opt for changing drum (one drum goes for 3 tone cartridge)
3) Empty all old toner fully, before refilling
4) get inside cleaned 2 times a year - lots of dust n dye will jam parts.
5) after 9-10 refill change gears of cartridge as it might break and cause damage inside.
6) you can opt for assembled cartridge
7) give rest between prints to prolong Teflon life
8) Many cartridge are common between HP and Canon - u can hunt for old HP cartridge whose printer are not available and use in New Cannon printer - this works out cheap like toner of HP 1000 ser. can be used in canon LBP 1018

Hope this helps

Got point from post no 14, - i am planing to buy Router and a switch, shall update ( excuse me for hacking can del if you say so)

From a hardware topic, this seems to have become a printer topic!!
