    I've bought the Samsung Monochrome multifunction Laser Scx 4521F.

    I'm very happy with it although after the second day i had to contact Samsung Technical support.

    Its a minor problem though. The software has a runtime library error if i click on a certain tab.
    Since i mostly use it as a standalone printer for faxes & copies it doesn't really matter but since its only three days old i'd like it to work the way it was intended to.

    Thanks, that is perfect.
    The ink is a bit too much as 6 liters would last me till 2020. I'll contact them hoping i could get it in 100ml as well.

    Do you have this system as well?

    Wink Food for thought

    One of the many companies that I do work for did the following and rented a printer from their local supplier. They do a lot of printing about 1000 to 2000 documents and have about two printers running fulltime both of them rental printers. The make is BIZHUB. I cannot remember the model but those things print like crazy and they don’t eat a lot of money. The owner of this business told me that it cheaper overall to rent rather than owning and maintaining it yourself.

    Do you have independent testimonials as this looks good.
    Only stress when you can change the outcome!

    Don't worry. I didn't forget about this. I'm trying ,unsuccessfully i might add, to get more people to join in so we could order a few at once to save on postage etc.

    Currently I'm paying R 3.25 per ml using generic cartridges (originals are twice as expensive) and with this system it would be under R 0.50 per ml. Huge saving if you buy per liter.

    If there's no more interest in such a system here i'll deposit the money on monday next week.

    rented printers

    I've almost went down that road(thereby not implying in any way that it is a bad thing). A friend of mine has a printer that she pays R290 every month as well as 19c per page printed (it can only print black) and have to buy her own cartridges. I must say, i'm not much of a printer expert but this didn't sound right.

    That's why i bought a samsung SCX 4521F. Its R 2000, the refilled cartridge costs me 229 and although i know refilled cartridges won't print the claimed 3000 pages i've counted, and it comes close enough.

    So i print for under 10c. I print about 6000 pages every month so for example my monthly costs on this printer would be at the most R 600.

    If she were to print 6000 pages it would cost her R 1430 not including the costs of her toner.

    By my reckoning i would have made back the money i laid out on the printer within 2 months. Then i still have 10 months guarantee left in case something goes wrong.

    But if i were to print 20 000 pages a month its another story.

    Thanx David. The CISS works beautifully.
    I've printed 15 A4 photos and everything works perfectly, great quality.

    My only regret is that i haven't heard from you a lot sooner.
    I've wanted a system like this for more than two years now.

    A huge thumbs up
    Anyone needs a system like this, there is only one place i'd recommend (perhaps because you are the only place i know of selling them, but still)

    Thanx a million
