Folks,
I've been doing some research on all in one printer, scanner, and fax
machnes. I have found a Brother MFC-5460CN and a wireless version of
this unit which is an ink jet and the MFC-9840 series which is wired
and wireless units and this is a color laser. Now what made me
consider this particular brand is the fact that apparently you can
utilize the scanner, printer, and fax functions from the Mac. I'd like
to know a few things.
1. Does anyone know if there is an Epson or HP unit that would allow
the same abilities.
2. Do you know if Brother is a reliable brand like HP.
3. It seems that although laser is more expensive, does provide a
little better quality print, it does out last ink jets in terms of
those cases where you don't print as much since the ink jet uses
liquid ink which is of course going to dry up at some point.
Does anyone know if the ink jets have improved to make it worth paying
less for the unit up front and then just replaces cartriages every six
to eight months? Actually the one thing that Brother does offer and I
think some of the more expensive HP printers allow you to replace some
cartriages as opposed to all of them since they are split into
multiple cartriages of different colors.
tnx
