Hi Andy If you like IId's then I have one available free to a good home. Also a couple of Minolta Colour laser printers all working.
As a retailer I sell HP, Epson, OKI, Minolta and Brother. Don't and wont sell Canon, Samsung and Lexmark, Canon because of the high cost of spares and don't care attitude of their service department. Samsung and Lexmark because they have sent out refurbished (in on case must have been two year old by its state) printers when the clients faulty ones have been less than one month old (in one case dead on arrival) and refused to offer new. H.P. I get very little problems with them and out of warranty the spares are reasonable. Also Service Manuals are easy to get. If the head goes then its part of the cartridge so replaceable. I don't get problems when the Clients decide to purchase cheap alternative consumables. Epson. Service department within driving distance so can get under warranty repaired instead of replaced. Print Quality in my opinion and Clients who have purchased is extremely good. On the down side I have hundreds in my scrap room were the heads are jammed and despite all suggestions remain jammed so not economically repairable. Incidentally that includes a couple of R300's. In most cases the Clients have used cheap refills and then let them run out without replacing straight away. The advice seems to be to print a page with some colour at least once a week and replace before down to two percent. Brother. Good quality print and very good after sales service. I mostly sell their cheap mono lasers. OKI. Same as Brother and consumables cheap. Recently had a 12 month old B4250 which they had come out two 3 times under warranty for an intermittent fault. On the forth time and out of warranty they sent a new one and didn't want the old one back. A number of times I have approached them for small cost items out of warranty, door catches etc. These have been sent free of charge. Konica Minolta. Excellent print quality. No problems with cheap consumables, Service department very good with quick on site support. Don't like selling all in ones. I get too many in for repair and often have to scrap when the age seems very small to have to write off, and of course they have to replace all the functions. Bear in mind these are my observations from living in the UK and may not apply else ware. In a previous life I was a Television Engineer and always based my selling advice on the reliability and ease of service of the TV's Video's etc. (Some makes seem to flood into the workshop while others lasted for years.) The above advice is based on the same observations.
