Printers for writers

Much has happened since I last came on here. I know I keep saying that I shall be more regular with my posts, but I think we all know that isn't going to happen now, don't we?

In my non-writer life, which is intimately entwined with my writer life, but is less obvious, I have joined the gym. I hoped that I would get sparks of inspiration as I pounded it out on the treadmill, but I have had no such luck as yet. I am still unemployed, and not earning a penny from any writing.

On the plus side, I completed my first assignment for the Writers Bureau, and I am hoping that my tutor suggests that I should send it in to the publication the article is aimed at. I have a second article for a similar market which I am working on. The novel has had it's first edit. So all is productive in this household.

When printing out my novel for the first edit, I had to buy new ink. Ink is extortionate in price, even with my student discount. So I contemplated buying a new printer. I talked this over with a non-writer friend of mine, who said that she had done the same, bought a new printer rather than new ink. But the ink for the new printer, although cheaper, runs out quicker. This would be no good for a novelist such as myself. So I put it to my writer friends, and there was a huge response. There has been no conclusion as to the best printer, though Hewlett Packard and Kodak seem to be high on the list. The problem is, there is very little information out there for writers, on the best printer, for quality, cost effectiveness and whatever else may be required of it.

So if you have happened on this post, and you are a writer of sorts, and you want an idea, why not write an article on printers for writers? I would be glad to read it.
