I recently bought a color laser printer only to realize after I opened it that it emitted Ozone gas; which is totally unacceptable to me. I ended up having to take a 40% restocking fee on that just to get some money back because the store tells me they would now have to sell it as open-box at a big discount to another customer, even though I didn't use it.
Now I still need a printer. One that does not emit any ozone gas whatsoever.
My main purpose for this printer is to print notes & assignments for school.
I would also like to have a fax and copier and scanner functionality, but this it not essential.
I don't care about speed.
The main things I must insist upon are:
1. It must emit no ozone gas.
2. It must produce good quality printouts.
I have read that some Inkjets use crappy ink that fades away in a while, so I'd prefer to avoid that if possible. On the other hand, I read that solvent-based inks emit toxins too - is that true? If so, I want to avoid that.
On Cnet they recommend Canon Pixma iP2600 Photo Printer as the top printer in my desired price range, but can I get a better printer than that for a similar price? Should I be concerned that Canon printers like that only use 2 ink cartridges instead of 4?
Ideally, I would like it to be under $100 CAD.
I live in Canada so I would probably either buy this from ncix.com, or canadacomputers.com. So hopefully your recommendations are something that they carry.
Please recommend me the best printer you can given the info in this post. Thanks.
