Printer+Scanner or MFD Query

7 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/printer-scanner-or-mfd-query.11104/

So i am gonna buy a Printer+Scanner, should i buy them seperately or buy a MFD(Multi-Function Device)?
Choice for MFD: HP PSC 1315,Cost: ~4.5k
Choice for Printer: Canon PIXMA iP1000 or HP Deskjet 3745: ~2.5k
Choice for Scanner:HP Scanjet 2400 or Canon Lide 20 : ~2.5k
Usage:Moderate printing Load,Rare Scanner use.Low Initial+Running Cost Priority!
Plz suggest alternatives,if there r any..

Pro's for MFD:
Although cost is nearly the same; only benefit is that it'll take up less space/compact.+ u get option 2buy extra 1yr Carepaq...(how much this costs anyways?)
& the Quality of the MFD is ~equal to seperate Printr+Scanner
Con's for MFD:
Something goes wrong, both Printr & Scnnr r gone!

Seperate stuff:
I lik the Canon Printer more than the HP, also it has 2yrs warranty.

Suggestions ppl!!

I don't think space will be your problem

I'll suggest you go for separate printer and scanner. I am using HP 2300c(scanner) and 3550(Printer). Both the devices are now more that two yrs old and i have not faced any problem so far.

MFD's looks cool but even a driver reinstall will halt both the devices together.

So i'll suggest you for separate devices. Preferably both HP.

But the HP PSC 1315 looks SO cool!! he he!! & its Quality is equal to a discreet Printer or Scanner.. Thats the real dilemma..

Canon Pixma 1000 works great. I use it. Go for a Umax Scanner.

I would always prefer separate devices than a MFD. You have already listed the cons of using MFD.

true go for canon pixima ip1000 and canon lide 20 scanner

ok guys! thx for ur help!! Sepearte devices it is!! Think i'll take the Canon Pixma i1000 + HP Scanjet 2400? Wat say u guys? any ideas on their curent prices??
