I have used many different makes and models of printers over the last decade or so. I've worked with everything – from old, slow dot-matrix machines to today’s large format, high resolution printers. I’ve also got my hands dirty (literally) with colour inkjets, thermal wax and dye sublimation printers.

It’s not all been plain sailing: I've had paper jams, cartridge leaks, toner explosions, ink splotches and endless bloody "PostScript Error" messages.

In my view, Hewlett-Packard is still the leader of the pack with its versatile yet dependable machines, while LaserMaster is king of the high resolution units niche (despite their problems with PostScript emulation).

However, I have recently “downgraded” to a HP Psc 1205. Why? Because it’s an and all-in-one printer/scanner/photocopier. All-in-one is very important thing to me for this reason – less clutter on my desk. I am, after all, running my business from a cubicle!

And at less than €100 euro, I am happy to forgo the admittedly higher quality of a laserjet.
