Can someone tell me if this printer's ink resembles the laser toner, i.e. does not dry quickly like the inkjet inks do, if you don't print regularly?

this is by far the best but most expensive printer i have ever owned ( i have probably purched t least 20 over the years. most inperssive- very fast . i sometimes print just a few copies less than once a wekk. never a problem with the ink

It does take a bit longer to set than my laser jet but it's not been an issue. I notice that the standard color settings don't produce as vibrant or crisp as my laser jet's standard settings, but I have yet to do any adjustments. I do pamphlets on my laser jet and color reports on this one.

This printer has sat for weeks at a time in my home office while I have been away. We have had no problems with ink drying out or any other issues.

The printer works exactly as a laser printer. The paper comes out dry and the speed is as fast as a laser.

No problem what so ever. We print intermittently. The X576 ink system is superior and faster than color laser printers. It uses four vibrant inkjet cartridges.

I've had the exact same problem, although it took a few years to develop. I only use it on small print jobs. It began about the time I was running low on the original toner cartridges. I am very disappointed and sad to see there is no solution. A printer of this price point should last longer than a year or two, or even months before degrading to near uselessness. I really have not spent any serious efforts to resolve, but if after doing so, will report back if I have any success.

I've been buying OEM toner so can't help you on this one. The printer does not use a lot of toner, tho.

Yes, it is. But only the problem I am facing is, ink will dry soon and that messes with the printer as well.

It would not be fair for me to even recommend a printer because the ink you are going to use, I don't believe in. The ink did not work for me. it run and faded out after a few prints. So I can not answer you question at this this!!

The cartridge for the xp400 is different from the workforce 725 series. I checked on the inkreloader site, and they don't offer it for your printer, yet, probably because it's a printer all-in-one that has not been out very long. You can send the seller a message through Amazon and ask if they intend to have these cartridges for your printer. They are absolutely amazing, no leaks, etc, and the color is better than Epsons. I have had these cartridges for about a year now, and they do not dry up, like what one commentor said. He probably had a dried up printhead to begin with. I have refilled two of them, and they still work great. I hope this company never goes out of business. The cartridge for the xp400 is different from the workforce 725 series.

I'm not a 100% but i believe the shape of the cartridge is different. Also, the thickness of the ink might not be the same. Generally, you want the right cartridge for your printer.

Yes. I was unable to connect wirelessly (few things ever work perfectly for me...) The key benefit of this machine is that the heads don't dry out. I don't print a lot. Ink jet heads dry out (especially here in Las Vegas) causing all kinds of trouble; Laser printers don't have this issue.

Prints great! I do suggest replacing the cartridges with genuine Brothers toner. I tried "compatible" toners but ended up with streaks. As long as you replace with Brothers toner, you should get the results you are looking for

Not that I can say. It sounds like you may not use your printer in a daily basis. I have a client who has this printer and they use it a lot. I have one in my office and it might go maybe three days in between uses. I have not noticed any issues with the ink. One thing - in wise that I really like about this machine is the ink doesn't runon the page if the page gets wet where most ink jets do. This machine has great functions that ar very user friendly.

Yes, believe it or not, but the toner cartridge is only half the size of the regular full capacity cartridge. I managed to get about 400 pages out of it though. I have bought a full sized cartridge from a cartridge replacement outfit (not Brother) and I expect that one will last me all year, with moderate use. Printing on both sides also saves costs.I got sick of always having to replace cartridges for my colour printer. The laser prints better, and is easier to read.

if the ink you used before was the ink that came with the printer then using this as a replacement should give you identical results if not better I say this because when I changed the cartridge out this ink was more difficult to wash off my hands than the original that came with the printer leading me to think it would have a more permanent result in your case hope this was helpful

The product is actually toner, which is a dry powder. It isn't "ink" like you would find in an inkjet printer. The toner does not smear on print outs.

I bought the Pixma 700 9 months ago and have not had a problem with the ink drying out yet. I don't print a lot of pictures, but so far I have had to replace only about one cartridge. After turning it on, if you don't print immediately it shuffles the cartridges back so they don't dry out. Then when you click "print," you wait an extra few seconds for the cartridges to slide back into printing position. It takes longer to print because it does that, but it does save on ink.

I really can't answer that question. I just know I have a HP6600 printer and it seems like I have to replace the cartridges too often. If one runs out of ink I have to replace it in order to print. I am looking to sell it and get just a black and white printer that uses toner.

The HP 1102W uses a toner cartridge rather than the smaller ink jet types. You gat a starter cartridge with the printer that lasts for about 500 pages. The regular toner cartridge will give about 2500 pages. It is dependent on the coverage of course. Standard text should give the highest duration. I have had the same cartridge for over a year. My printing needs are not that high. The toner will not dry out like the ink jets can tend to if not used . The 1102W powers down automatically. You Never have to turn it on or off. It prints wirelessly and has Air Print ability from Apple products. For the price and small footprint I think it is a great little printer. I've recommended it to other friends. On the whole I am not a big HP fan. I think their ink jets are junk but I still give them high marks on their laser B/W printers. If you only need black and white printing on a low volume basis this is a very good cost/ benefit printer The printer tray is only 100 pages. Again not for a robust printing operation . I like keeping a small color inkjet multifunction from Canon for other needs and the HP 1102W for standard B/W printing . Hope this helps your decision

Not sure what your question is? This printer does not use ink, it uses toner.
