I’m looking for a range of the most compact/smallest inkjet printers that are available, from Canon or Epson if preferable.
For home use, good quality printing for only documents, no photos or calendars or dvd disc covers. It can’t photocopy, scan, or have any features except printing. The most user-friendly, bells & whistles free printer that you can buy! Price is not an issue.

I want to make a magazine, but I don’t have a specialed printer for doing that. Would it work to just put some magazine paper into the hp inkjet printer?

I read online a laser printer costs 2 cents a page and a inkjet costs 10 cents a page. Does anyone have a laser printer that they use at HOME?
Thanks!

They say laser printer have better print quality and hold more ink and the ink is way cheaper with laser printers.They say companies use laser printers or photographer because the print quality is way better than inkjet printer .They say inkjet printers are good for text and art work but for photos to use a laser printer do to better print quality .
They say the ink is way cheaper than inkjet printers and can hold alot more ink than inkjet printers .
Anyways why that the case?
And last quetion why is the ink in inkjet printers so costly?

Where ( website ) can I learn how to replace the waste ink pad / divert the waste ink in a CANON inkjet printer ?
Thank you.

I don’t really mind laser printer though i would still prefer inkjet ones.

woudl I be able to buy a sheet of artists canvas, cut it down and produce a high quality print using my desktop inkjet printer?

I’m looking for an all-in-one printer+scanner that is capable of printing directly onto inkjet-printable CDs and DVDs. I’ve found only two models, HP Photosmart C5280 and Epson Stylus Photo RX595. Are there anymore of such kind? Do Cannon and Lexmark make such all-in-one printers with the features I specified above?

I noticed a lot of ink refill stations in the Malls and in commercial areas.
Do you refill the ink cartridges used by your inkjet printer ?
Thank you.

Kids these days may prefer to play with their computers, PlayStations, Xboxes or Nintendo Wiis.  Yes, even five-year-olds these days know how to use those gadgets, and many of them actually do.  However, a creative parent would be able to divert the attention of their little ones with the use of some paper and their trusty inkjet printer.

The trick is to create toys and kids’ crafts with your inkjet printer.  Here are a few ideas that you can use.

Jigsaw puzzles. You can download software that can create a jigsaw pattern on any picture.  Use this on some of your child’s favorite pictures and print them on matte paper using your inkjet printer.  Afterwards, you glue this pattern onto a piece of cardboard then cut it up to come up with the jigsaw puzzle pieces.

Coloring sheets. Some parents may think of coloring books as a bit old-fashioned, but they are still a great way of teaching children about colors, shapes and space.  Your own kids will no doubt enjoy them.  But you do not have to buy coloring books; you can just create coloring sheets using your own inkjet printer.  You can download coloring patterns from the Internet, or make your own if you are handy with photo-editing software.  Once you have printed out a bunch, hand them over to your kid along with a box of crayons and your child will be entertained for a whole afternoon.

Pretend food. If you are into baking customized pastries and cakes and if you have an inkjet printer that is dedicated to the creation of edible printouts, you can create pretend food for your kids.  It does not even have to be pretend food at all.  You can cook up your very own toffee or chocolate bar and wrap it up with your special edible inks. You can even use it to make a marshmallow wrap.

Scrapbooking. It is never too early to start scrapbooking, and you can teach your child how to make one using your inkjet printer.  Maybe instead of using actual photos, you can print family photos on your inkjet printer.  And then, you can give these printouts to your kids, along with materials used for scrapbooking that they will not choke on or injure themselves with, such as cardboard, colored paper and ribbons, and let them have a go at their own scrapbooking project.

“Rubber stamps”. Kids love playing with rubber stamps.  You can make your very own unique “rubber stamp” by printing a pattern or a figure that you want on glossy or smooth paper using your inkjet printer.  Once the paper is out of your inkjet printer, you can press the printed surface of this glossy paper on a dry and absorbent paper, and then you would have an imprint.  While this may not be practical for daily play, it could be a wonderful way of adorning notebooks and scrapbooks.

There are many ways that you can entertain your children using an inkjet printer.  You just have to be creative at finding these ways.
