Purchasing Bought a HP 5700dn with storage stand for home use but got some questions

0 Upvotes

I bought a 5700dn that was on sale for 1049 which for what you are getting seems like a nice deal, added a printer stand that has wheels and a nice paper/etc.. bought premium 32 paper to print with for reports, documents, occasional photos. So far really impressed with this printer its damn fast and the quality real nice, surprisingly photos come out nice.

This printer Says made in Japan but then I read concerns regarding reliability since HP bought Samsung but those are made in China.

I seem a bit confused with that, is it some models are. made in Japan(Canon?) and others made in China(Samsung) I also notice a warning on the website that This printer is not for residential use?

I did not have to install any intrusive drivers etc my Mac found it and just installed an "AirPrint" driver. Its really is nice using an "Enterprise" printer so for my home use etc.. I would imagine it should last quite a while. And this price is it because its being discontinued because it seems like a lot of printer for the money.

It just prints when I need to print so far no hassles and it's damn quick so far I like it. Anything I should concern myself with reliability. I do have it on a large UPS to protect it from brownouts etc..

Purchasing have a brother b&w laser but want to print color

• Upvotes

I like to print small stickers, but I want to have color in them. I don't like sharing my files with a printing service, and don't have any libraries near. I heard inktanks clog if you don't print everyday and I don't printer everyday, but laser color printers are expensive.

Edit: Idc how expensive it is

Purchasing Looking for the most simple but good quality printer

3 Upvotes

I am looking for the most simple printer out there. I don't even need wifi on it. I just want to connect the usb to my linux desktop and print word documents and the occasional shipping label. I can be persuaded either way on ink or toner. I'm just tired of paying between $20-$60 on a printer and it lasting a few years with lots of troubleshooting early on. So I'm willing to pay for quality but simplicity. Thanks!

Purchasing What DPI is Necessary for a High Quality Black and White Copy (not from printer)

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to buy a high quality laser copier for black and white images. I see many black and white copiers offer 600x600 dpi. Is that a high enough resolution for a crisp print of text and line images? Thank you!

Purchasing DIY greeting cards

3 Upvotes

Looking to make our own greeting cards in color. Probably want to go up to 80 lb cover cardstock. Aren’t a lot of options in a home office price range. And it’s frustrating not being able to test one out to see how the cards would turn out. Anyone have experience with this, or suggestions please? Thanks.
