At Crystal PC Services we have extensive experience in printer and copier repair. We are able to fix most issues like no printing, poor print quality, paper jams, and other errors. We are familiar with most major brands such as HP, Brother, Xerox, Lexmark, Konica Minolta, Ricoh, and more.
We limit our repairs to high end laser printers and copiers. Most consumer ink jet printers are not worth fixing. They are simply too cheap, with many places giving them away as special deals.
Interested in purchasing a new printer?
We would like to offer you a few suggestions:
Buy A Laserjet Over An Inkjet
Inkjet printers are messy and expensive to operate. Inkjet printers are a dime a dozen because the manufacturers have designed them in such a way to where they do not last long and waste ink. They then charge outrageous prices for ink refills. Refilling inkjet cartridges to save money is both messy, and risky. If you don't use them often printheads can plug up or ink can dry up.
Laserjet printers are extremely fast, more durable, and cheaper to operate. Although costing more up front, they are much cheaper to operate in the long run. Refilling toner cartridges is usually less messy and more reliable. They can sit forever without plugging up, or wasting toner.
Unless you need high quality photo printing, laser printers are always the more economical way to print. However, photo printing quality is unmatched in inkjets. For this, we recommend you buy an affordable inkjet printer and use it only for printing high quality photos on photo paper. For everything else, use a laser.
Beware Of Deceptive Tactics
Manufacturers do not make money on selling printers. They make money on selling you the consumables such as ink, toner, printheads, and drums. Be weary of cheap printer deals. Instead, do some research and find out how much each ink or toner refill costs and approximately how many pages you will get out of them. Paying more for a printer up front will often save you money in the long run. Worse yet, manufacturers specifically design inkjet printers to waste ink. You can leave them sit for a month with a full cartridge and at the end of the month the cartridge could be empty or damaged.
Know What Your Needs Are
What will you be doing with the printer? Will you be printing photos? Do you need fast printing? Do you want economical prints? Do you need to print from multiple computers? Will size or location be an issue?
Printers come with many different options. Laser printers are faster than inkjets. Inkjets print better photos. Laser printers are more economical to operate but are usually larger. You can buy network printers or wireless printers for printing from multiple computers.
