The problem is now you are buying a device really cheap which has 13+ consumable items and tons of moving parts.  Getting one which works is doable…  one that works great, has a simple interface, and is cost effective…  that does not exist yet.

The choice you’ll have to make is which 2 of these do you want?

* Cheaper printing

* Ease of Use

* Reliability

* Durability

You will generally only get 2 of the 4.  At this point in the market, if you can avoid buying a copier which is under $1,000… I would avoid it.  They cause more headaches than they are worth, they are expensive and still a pain to use.
