Most Cost-Efficient Multifunction Printers
Savings do not necessarily mean buying the cheapest thing that you see on the shelf. This is especially true for printers, where there is a need to think not just of how much you are buying the printer for, but how much the machine is going to cost you in the long haul.
PCMag has come up with a list of printers that may not be as cheap as you would have hoped them to be right off the bat, but will end up saving you those $$$ in the long term.
There are only 4 printers on the list; should this be an indication for printer manufacturers to think more along these lines? We were, after all, faced with trying times only recently. More often than not, people will be looking for and choosing the option that will stretch the value of their hard-earned dollars.
Two of the printers on the list ended up on the PCMag Editor’s Choice list, which, in itself, is an indication that these machines are highly capable. At the top of the list is the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless AIO, which runs at 1.6 cents per black and white page and 7.2 cents per page. The other Editor’s Choice recipient on the list, the Epson Workforce 310, operates at a relatively costly 12.3 cents per color page, but this is offset by an extremely cheap 2.5 cents per page for black and white printing. Users who rarely use color anyway will most probably find the Epson Workforce 310 a practical choice.
The other two printers on the list are the Kodak ESP 9 AIO, which runs at 2.3 cents per black and white page and 6.9 cents per color page, and the HP Officejet 6500 which operates at 2.7 cents per black and white page and 9.1 cents per color page.
