Hello and happy Friday to the coworking people of the world,

I’ve seen this topic raised many times, but I’m yet to see a thread that focuses specifically on Printer Make/Model suggestions.

Our printer just crapped out and I’ve had enough of shitty printers.

I’d like to take this opportunity to ask the community, what make/model of printer do you use in your spaces and do you find that printer recommendable?

Thanks and happy printing!  
oren

At [Cowork Frederick](http://www.coworkfrederick.com) we been using a Canon imageClass D1350 MFP (with fax) for almost 2 years. Real world numbers are $140 for the toner/drum cartridge rated at 5000 pages. We get 5400+ pages. Adding in a case of paper, resource cost is $0.038/page.

Plus: it will support accounts so you can track usage per member if desired.

Minus: driver install is needed for both Mac and Windows.

For color, we have an Epson WorkForce 1100 wide carriage inkjet that a member donated. Small ink cartridges but I get them through [monoprice.com](http://monoprice.com) for under $5 each. Drivers are needed for Windows but included in OS X. It hasn’t seen enough use to accurately calculate per page costs.
