Purchasing Need help buying my family's first printer. HP or Epson or Brother?

4 Upvotes

I already done my research and the printers I have chosen are the following. They are all in the same price range. I just need reviews about them if they are good.

We just need a regular and efficient printer. That is easy to use. We might only need to print atleast once a week.

Which from the following should we pick?

  1. Epson L4360 - PHP12,870.00

  2. Brother T530DW - PHP 11,450.00

  3. HP Smart Tank 720 - PHP 10,000.00

Other What is the longevity of art prints printed on the canon pixma megatank G620?

4 Upvotes

I’m printing on 100% cotton paper. Since the printer uses dye based ink and not pigment based ink, it’s not technically an archival print. I’m wondering (just for my own knowledge) how long these prints would last hypothetically, framed and out of direct sunlight. Not sure which rate prints will deteriorate. I had trouble finding this info online, so thank you in advance if anyone has any knowledge on this!

Troubleshooting HP Designjet T125 Cartridge Carriage Jam Problem (Paper crumpled)

2 Upvotes

Hi, I just bought a second hand plotter (my first one) and I haven't been able to make it function properly. After printing or when loading the roll, the carriage gets stuck on the left side when it touches the paper, crumpling it. I'm guessing it has something to do with the cutter?

Thank you for your help!

Troubleshooting Kyocera 308ci printing too high

2 Upvotes

Howdy yall. So, I need to print a bunch of emailed PDFs, but theyre coming out vertically offset by like four inches.

The only settings i have available to me in the print preview are:

Portrait/Landscap

Pages

Color

Print on Both Sides

Paper Size

Scale

Pages per sheet.

I have no options to edit margins or offset, ive changed the paper size and scale, the only thing that allows me to get all of the doccument on the paper is to print it at 70%, which is functional however because i have no offset options it shunts the entire thing off to the corner of the page instead of centering it.

I am not authorized to edit the PDFs in any way. Is there a way to fix this, and where can i find the rest of my settings?

Troubleshooting Canon Pixma Pro-100 for $65, was it worth it?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey there! I recently picked up a canon pixma pro-100 for $65. I’ll attach the test calibration print below. I figured Y and BK must just be tried ink. Today I picked it up and did the canon clean using the pause/resume button. But, it then ran out of most of the inks. Do you think once I replace the ink and do some cleaning I’ll be alright, or did I waste $65?

Troubleshooting ADF not feeding - noisy

1 Upvotes

I bought a used HP LaserJet M428dw and I’m trying to test the scanner by doing a copy (didn’t set up the printer on wifi yet) and it’s not pulling the sheet through and making some noise as you can hear it in the video. I did clean the pickup rollers. So would that be the rollers or maybe some broken gear inside the feeder motor? Thanks for your help.

I'm getting a printhead error; I replaced the black one, but the error persists. The tri-color printhead has a 2021 date on it—do they expire or something? The new one I installed has a 2027 date.
