Yes, i do use it for printing out card kits. It works very well for that purpose. I did do a test between laser and inkjet, as at work we have both HP lasers and high end inkjets. For card kits/brick papers it was hard to say one was better than the other.

That's one of the ones I was thinking of, do you use it to print out scalescenes or textures?

I have a Brother HL L 8260 CDW laser printer. Currently £235. Crucially mine came with full toner cartridges, none of these quarter filled starter cartridges. About two years later they are still a third full. It sits under my desk and has never given me a moment of trouble. It even accepts AirPrint from my iThings.

Thanks for reporting. Hopefully a one off and the server was having a slow couple of minutes.

Little hitch at 16.25 today but eventually the forum got going again.

Inkjets have a built in suicide switch - a reservoir for excess ink during printing, when it is full, it may be impossible to remove it without dismantling the whole printer!! https://refreshcartridges.co.uk/igloo/clearing-canon-waste-ink-tank-full-message/http://www.kadansky.com/files/newsletters/2011/2011_01_26.htmlLasers are an investment in long term peace of mind! ( I have a Brother L8410) - clone carts are available, but they killed my Kyocera, so I'm sticking to the Real Thing.

For typical intermittent home use a Laserjet is the way to go, or drop in excess £600 on a seriously good, large format inkjet printer.
We have had our HP Laserjet for 4 years now and I'm just getting round to replacing some of the colour toner cartridges. We've gone through a couple of black one's but my wife likes to file things on paper rather than on a computer. None of the toner cartridges have ever clogged up.
I've also got an HP T120 large format printer, it's an inkjet but the cartridges and print head are better quality than a typical desktop Inkjet printer. I've had that 4 years as well and only use it intermittently, for printing out full size layout plans! I've replaced the black cartridge but none of them have ever clogged up.
Regards,
John P

The question I’d ask myself is how often you’re going to use it. Inkjets are prone to clogging with intermittent use, which can ultimately destroy the printer (or at least make repair uneconomical). A laser will be far more stable. If you’re not using it frequently then the cost of toner is insignificant (IMO outstripped by the cost of replacement cartridges which have dried up).
Yes it is marginally bulkier, but not in a way which really matters. The footprint is virtually identical, and it’s not like the extra height really matters. Neither is a thing of beauty!

Thanks for the replies ... I am half way between colour laser and a good inkjet, but what is difficult for me is seeing the price of replacement toner - a set of 4 genuine low yield cartridges seems to cost as much or slightly more than most entry level laser printers. (I don't want fax or scan so I am thinking of a smaller sizes.)
