The business I work at switched over to ecotank inkjet printers after the boss kept buying used laser printers and cheap third party timers that would destroy the printer. The ink is cheap if you know where to buy it, the quality is above average if you’re just printing invoices/letters but we also print brochures on it. The major downside is the time it takes to print - a single page would take about 10-15 seconds. Clogged heads would happen every few hundred pages and you lose ink when you’re forced to do a head clean or deep clean and those take around 5 minutes. On the other hand, I bought a mono laser printer in the early 2000s and only had to replace the toner once. I upgraded to an AIO laser & gave it to my friend who used it for another 2-3 years until Windows 10 no longer supported it. I even switched my mother just recently from an inkjet that needed $100+ in ink to a mono laser because she rarely uses colour.
Huh, thank you for explaining it so well! I’ve had a few people mention monotonoes but it wasnt as clear as how you explained it, if the ecotank ever pisses me off, i’ll definitely just look into one of those! Thank you so much!
Or you get a thermal laser printer. I bought 6000 labels for half a penny each. They are 6x4 and great for regular orders, so I only have to print out my direct RIs using a regular printer. And heck, for those you could in theory get a 9x11~ thermal printer and use that instead, but the labels for those are considerably more expensive, at very close to 5-6c each, which is right around your total cost between ink and paper assuming you're buying your reams at around $60 per 5k I just scale regular orders to 60% or so, comes out great. For the customer address you can just cut off the top and put it on like a sticker.
I’ve had a lot of people suggest that! I personally dont like how the label looks, but i do have a thermal label printer so i’ll definitely try it! Thank you very much
Some toner printers can print well past 4,000 pages on a single toner cartridge. The only downside is that laser toner printers cost considerably more, but could be worth it if this inkjet starts having nozzle clogging issues. Toner doesn't clog and is actually zero maintenance.
Ink cartridges are such a scam when I used to work at Best Buy I always told people it cost more but you saving the long run with the ecotank style printers if you're doing volume
I swear by my laser printer for printing envelopes and packing slips. The printers and toner are pricier, but you get about 7500 pages out of a high-yield toner cartridge.
A lot of people have been telling me this! Its definitely something i’m going to pick up if/when this eco tank kicks the bucket! Much love, I love your channel 🧡
Grab a Jaden label printer, it’s thermal, printer is like $100 and 500 label stickers are also $20, and If you want bigger like the one you’re using it’s $20 for 200 sheets.
@@SetsSinglesAndSIRs laser is what businesses use, as they are really cheap per page. But for printing shipping labels thermal printing is king. And the paper is sticky so you can just slap the label on and no need to tape it

If the ecotank gives me any issues i’ll for sure look at this option! Thank you for the info and the comment!

Absolutely! I was only recently put onto them but they seem like such a no brainer, especially for people who intend to scale
i agree its an Insanely noticable difference!!

Thanks for the info, i’ve got a rollo wireless, but i usually just use that for shipping labels, as i like the look n feel of paper!
Why not just use brother laser black and white? Seems like the best way to go. Gets thousands of pagers per toner and might print faster overall.
Definitely have to look into that, i havent heard of that, just this eco tank printer!
