[NFBCS] Printer Recommendation

[Starry_sky at live.com]

Suggest you look for a printer with print heads on the cartridges. You 
get new print heads when you change the cartridges.  HP and Dell 
printers use these and their printers usually last longer.  The printers 
with the print heads built in are cheaper but those cannot be replaced 
when they wear out.  Epson and Canon fall in this category.  Laser 
printers cost more and the cartridges can be messy and tougher to change 
but you get a lot more prints before you need to change the cartridge.

To keep ink cartridges from drying up, take the cartridge out when not 
printing.  Store it upright in an airtight container in the 
refrigerator.  Liquid dries faster exposed to air and heat.  Cool and 
airtight slows that down.  New cartridges are vacuum-sealed for that 
reason so don't open those until you need to print.
