Got the printer this morning. Everything is hooked up to everything else in the household and registered. Already went over most of the manual to address the specs you all were talking about. Easy as pie. Looks like I got military style hardware vs a VW Beetle comparing my cartridges on this Brother to my Canon! The 2 sided printing looks good. Would you suggest a heavier paper weight than 20? That weight curls a little but it has sat around a while. The 3 toner cartridges for color say the specs are for 1500 pages. Since the only color I print is the formatting for pace figures I hardly use any color at all. Even on the Canon I would replace the color once a year so this is probably good for beyond a year easy.
Anyway PP's are but 30% of what I do these days but the work done on them is still valuable. After 20 years of buying the form there is a tinge of sadness not seeing those people at those place. But buying more time and saving more money and mileage, I'll get over it. Was really angry over all this at first but the idea has more than grown on me. Classhandicapper suggested me doing this a few months ago. He probably thought I was nuts about ink concerns! But I didn't know what options were out there. Compiling my own daily playbook is only minute labor. Having it compiled into 1 unit will give me confidence. Digging the idea now! Got everything set to go for the big August meets. Small laptop and multiple batteries and all. The racino assholes won't shut me down. Scumbags! Cincy is ready to tear some ontrack up the rest of the summer!
Anyway will get back to you all about the specs over these next months. I saw there are high yield cartridges that go 4,000 pages for $55. Beats 400 pages for $25! As somebody alluded to earlier I am merely fusing old methods with new technology into one. It will work. A new era has begun for me. The optimism is stoked! Thanks for all the input gang!
