My Brother printer

Back in 2013 we buy our first printer for xerox or photocopying. We bought a Brother Monochrome laser printer at around 8,000 pesos. It uses black toner powder. It prints highspeed and many are satisfied with it's very clear copy. But this printer last only a year after one year of heavy use there will already be problems with the quality of the print either faded or with print damage. I think I print around 7,000 pages a year after that the print quality is poor. So we have to buy a new each year. We have 4 units of this laser printers in our house that is no longer good to use. In 2015 I buy a Canon colored inkjet printer which you still have to install continuous ink supply. It didn't last a year. Just after 6 months the print quality is poor and damage. I contact a technician and have to pay 1,000 just to fix the black ink. I stop using it because the colored ink cartridge is still damage and I don't have 1,500 for repair. In 2019 we buy another printer brother dcp-t710w. This time it's colored inkjet printer. It has a built in continuous ink tank. It's not a high speed printer luckily I don't get a thousand copies jobs. The printer don't overheat like the laser printer. It's 2 years now and it's still functioning well. If the print has poor quality you can just go to the maintenance option in the printer and fix the print quality problems and it will be back to clear and good quality prints. We bought this at 12,000 pesos plus the 4 colored inks. So far I'm satisfied with this printer. I don't receive big jobs right now or hundreds of copies so the printer is not that stress. The biggest job it receive so far is 500 copies of election campaign materials last election. It's a fun and easy job. I hope we can buy heavy duty monochrome printers too so we can accept bulk orders.

I also have that printer at home. But since it is rarely used I think it also got bad that the printer isn't as good as it used to be, I think since you use that very often is also good for printers to print good quality printouts.

@averygirl72 I guess it is good to use it as frequently as you can since when they are not often used they also get problems as well.

I suppose the more your business grows, the more you will have to invest in a professional printer.

Yes that is my plan to look for more professional printers. I also need a technician since printers get damage easily

I have a laser printer at home since its printing cost is lower than inkjet. And also laser printer works better than inkjet printer. When you use inkjet printer, it is better you have to print something once a week in case the printer nozzles are clogged. Whereas laser printer doesn't have this problem.

Laser comes with a noticeable overheating risk, when my grandpa uses his printer smoke comes out just for a few copies, it's quite scary if you ask me. Hopefully your new turtle printer will live a long life, like turtles do.

It overheats if you print hundred copies that I need to rest it. My turtle printer is very dependable

I'm glad this one works well. I have a Brother laser printer. I don't do a lot of printing but when I do, it works well.

If you have a business like that I think it is better to get a printer that can be used for bulk orders.
