A new type of printer?
A new type of printer?
Quick overview on printing slips in my experience
Laserjet printers hold alot of ink and never dry up and I believe most cost effective long term (ink savings). They also hold alot of slips.They print full pages the fastest but for us printing little ticks in our proline tickets laserjets in my experience are useless as they take the same amount of time to make those ticks as they would printing a full sheet of text.
Inkjet printers is what I use for proline slips. They just spit out the proline slips fast( slower for normal printing duties ). The printers do not really cost anything and its all about the ink.
New to the market is ink tank systems . No stupid cartridges. You refill by pouring ink in. Anyone have any experience with these? Could be a game changer. I am picturing myself with few of these side by side and bottles of ink on hand. I currently have a bunch of miss matched printers . If anyone has one they like can you post the model. Here is one I think I might like https://store.hp.com/id-en/default/prin ... ank-system

word! I just want to add that Staples does have Eco ink cartridges that is really cheap, especially for Brother Printers.
In deciding which printers are good or not, it's important to have a high PPM (pages per minute), at the very least 38.

hi, i will never mess with inkjet. i dont have any problems with laserjet, printing perfectly any proline or pools tickets. get older model like 4050, you will be able printing up to 10,000 pages (5% fill), so for tickets it would be probably quick guess 100,000 without changing cartridge and then buy another cartridge for $25-$30, plenty of available time from time on kijiji/facebook, hth, prt
Re: A new type of printer?
Prt speed is number one priority . From my experience laser jets are to slow making them useless. Would this be a matter of me buying the wrong laserjets? Maybe mine has to low ppm? I just thought they are all mind numbing slow
Re: A new type of printer?
I may be over doing it with the speed thing. 20 slips per minute is where i am conformable.
Re: A new type of printer?
