I never mentioned this but I bought a Canon LBP 1120 laser printer a couple of months ago because I had a lot of printing to do and they were going half price.

I had found with an inkjet printer that I used it only rarely and when I did the ink had invariably dried up and I would end up buying more cartridges for $$$. Whenever I tried cheap clone cartridges the results would be poor, with one of the colors not working.

Discussing this at work someone mentioned how much better laser printers were: they work out quite economical to run as a toner cartridge can print 2500 pages and doesn't dry out.

Hence I bought the Canon and it works very well. The print quality is very good albeit only black and white. It works fine with some old paper I have had for over 10 years. For printing photo's I would rather use photobox as the prints work out cheaper and are much better quality and don't start to fade after a year.

The printer was probably cheap because it was an old model and I ought to grab a spare toner cartridge while they are still available.

It is very nice having a printer available. I no longer have to memorise google maps.
