Inkjet or laser?

Posted By: mtathome on 2006-04-02
In Reply to: Printing - Patti

I have a HP all-in-one that I use for printing and for a fax.  I do not print the office notes, but the doctors fax me patient lists and copies of notes for which they want changes made or corrections.  I think if I printed office notes my ink cartridge expense would be a whole lot more than the figures you quoted.

You can use the inkjet refill kits. I have always
used them and they save a lot of money.


Laser hair removal. Has anyone tried laser hair removal on their face and if so, did it work?

Laser printerG

Go to HP home page and see what they have and then go to Office Depot or Office Max.  Mine cost several thousands but I needed the speed, etc.  But I think that there are several that are under $500.   Too bad we don't live close by I have an old 4P that is a work horse that is just sitting here but I needed the triple drawers and capabilty to do envelopes and so it sits here.  


Good luck.


 


Anyone tried the new laser mouses?

I'd consider them worth the money if they work.  100.00 here in California.


Jerking my left arm around trying to get from one window to the next has given me a most painful left arm.  Can only think that it is from being tense while typing (stressful job we have; didn't use to be this way) and then moving my arm suddenly and quickly to maneuver.  Tennis elbow is what it feels like but now the shoulder and entire bone aches like it was involved in a horrible injury.  I hope this isn't part of growing old (47).


Laser - large HP

I have a large HP, three drawer laser printer and I go through 500 sheets of chart note paper, probably another 400 to 600 for consults and letters per month and probably 200  envelopes per week and I seriously use only at the maximum of 3 toners per year and they are $110 per toner recycled.   My printer gets 10,000 to 15,000 copies per toner so about every three to four months I get one.  I spend more on the chart paper than I do the toners.    But that is all figured into my cpl.

I think it's because it's a laser printer.  Laser printers work much like copiers in that they heat the paper to seal the ink onto the page. Sticky paper hates laser printers.  Do you have options as to where you purchase the paper?  Maybe look at the manufacturer's web site to see if they have a type that works with laser printers.  If they don't then you are looking at either dealing with feeding the paper in one at a time and keeping the laser printer or trading it in back for another ink jet.  Different ink jets use ink at different rates so you can compare and see which would be the most economical for what you do.
Laser Kat, she is not going to listen . sm
Just another whiny MT who thinks its all about them.

The ones that wont' work just leave more work for the rest who are looking for jobs and want to work.
Need Laser printer recommendations

I may need to purchase a laser printer as the SOAP sheets that the office I work for sends to me are jamming in my HP ink jet printer. It has to be due to the writing that is being done on these SOAP sheet pages at the top where they fill in pertinent patient info, i.e., name of pt, vitals signs, birth control, etc., as well as how much the paper is being handled, shuffled, corners getting bent, etc. 


I have a new ink jet printer and have always had a problem with these sheets in every ink jet printer I have owned but my newest (and nicest printer thus far) it is happening more than ever before. It is very frustrating and time consuming to deal with this.


I was told that laser printers do not cause this problem as they utilize a different mechanism in printing. So, I may need to purchase a laser printer but would like some recommendations. I cannot afford a lot. I am hoping if I have to do this I can find a good one for around $400. I would appreciate your suggestions.


Thanks so much.


Laser hair removal?

Anybody ever gotten it before? I'm seriously considering it for my upper lip (and maybe chin where there are a few isolated hairs).

I've had electrolysis before, but never saw any improvement over months and months (and lots of $). Even though laser is expensive, I think it'll come out the same or cheaper than electrolysis. And electrolysis was very painful! This is supposed to be a bit painful, but not so bad.

Please share IF you've had laser. What area of the body? How long did it take? Has it been permanent for you?

thanks!


Laser Hair Removal
I have spent thousands of dollars on this for my daughter - three different types of lasers and the problem is still there - and at one point even got worse. Be certain that you aren't having a hormonal problem and that you are not part of an ethnic group where women naturally have more hair - it didn't work for my daughter.
laser hair removal
We have spent thousands and I mean thousands of dollars on laser hair removal for my daughter and it would work for about a couple of months and then the hair would grow back worse than ever. We have tried three different lasers and no one gives you a guarantee - so if they try to - don't buy it - read the small print before you sign. I know it is a frustrating situation - it also hurts. Electrolysis didn't work for her either, and she stays upset about this all the time.
Laser jet not ink jet printer - more economical
I have a laser jet printer and though the ink is expensive at 100 a cartridge, it lasts me for six to eight  months and I do printing for all of my five accounts.    My printer was top of the line over ten years ago and I just got a new HP color laser jet for $899 but they end up paying for themselves by not going through as much ink as a ink jet.   For one of my accounts I do the letterhead on the paper.  Have done that many times for many accounts.   I incorporate it into the price.   I supply paper, sticky paper also.  Two accounts supply their letterhead and I provide second sheets.   My friend has an inj jet and constanly complains about the amount of ink she goes through.  It is all a cost of business.  But if this is something new, she should put on a $10 charge per month depending on how many letters she is doing.  I probably print off 400 sheets per week.  
Laser treatments are coming down in price...sm

The facial treatments are the least expensive from what I've found in my reasearch, simply because it's a small area. Over the course of time, permanent laser TX wouldn't be any mroe expensive than constant, continued waxing, etc.

I have the MS 6000 wireless laser keyboard...sm
And I love it! I used the split ergonomic keyboards (new one about every 6 months!) for the last 10+ years, but this thing is great. Your reach isn't nearly as long as it is with the split ergonomic and my speed has increased on it. It came with the wireless mouse, but I use a trackball so it just got shunted aside.

I looked at the 4000, but the "insert" key is in some weird place and I use that a lot. It's in the normal place on the 6000 with the delete key underneath it.

My best friend also bought the 6000, going from the split ergonomic, and loves it too. She can't get over how much her speed has increased.

It doesn't clack, though!!

And I too type with my keyboard in my lap, bought a lapdesk off ebay for about $25. My chair has arms and a bunch of different adjustments for back, neck, etc. It came from Office Depot for about $200.
Can they go back in and re-laser imperfections? My parents get their blurring and blips

i have telangiectasia on face. laser treatment - very painful...but works
what could be more unsightly that broken veins on the face? well, lucky me, i have them. eveyr few years go in for treatment. electrical zaps to destroy broken blood vessel. Hurts like the dickens though. Can't use pain relievers because it causes constriction of blood vessels, they told me.
Laser Hair Removal (for dark hair)
I've tried Epilators (basically an electronic tweezer) and wax, but nothing beats Laser HR. It's a bit pricy and takes a few treatments to be 100% effective, but definitely works.
