    Hello. I would like to ask for help in choosing the multifunction printer. My initial choice fell on the canon G3400 or epson L3050. The devices have similar parameters, but the devil is in the details, and I do not know them too much. The printer is typically for home use, sometimes a photo. The price is also within the "limits", they have a permanent power supply system, the original inks reasonable prices. Until now I had a laser CLP-300, but begins to refuse to obey (dirty cards) and it's time to think about a new one. Please any suggestions

    I would like a canon g3410 although the price of the epson L3050 is comparable and even give an additional 2 volumes. black ink. But which of the two will be better and problematic to use. And what do you think about Brother InkBenefit Plus DCP-T500W

    And what do you think about EPSON XP342 can always be changed to "eternal cartridges" or ciss system it will come out cheaper than, for example, canon g 3400 or epson l3050, and it has both a display and a memory card slot, only as the printer works. Maybe some of the users will say

    Photo-HQ (High Quality).
    - Canon TS8050 and MX925 have a high 2400dpi.
    -Epson Expression Premium XP-530, XP-630.



    EPSON XP-342 is a good, but not-HQ-photo.

    Photos do not have to be a priority although sometimes something will print, it is important that the printer was OK. It has to be typically for home use, photocopying, printing to school, etc. I guess I will be tempted.

    I am almost decided on this epson xp342, the price is that if something happens to the printer after a while, it won't be such a loss, and maybe the copier will be functional and all you have to do is buy a printer from the top shelf. One more thing that makes me wonder is whether the menu on the display is in Polish, and whether the configuration with wifi is quite simple because I'm thin

    Well, it happened I bought this XP342 printer and after the first start it turns out that it prints in blue, I have no idea how to set it up. The attachment prints from the old laser printer which is dirty and the one from xp342 in blue. The second thing as long as the network connection went I have no idea how to connect to a smartphone without any problems. Maybe some of my friends would lead me by the "handle" how to put it

    I have already dealt with these colors, a unique school mistake, I am ashamed to admit I simply did not rush those straps from the cartridges. As for the first tests I am happy with the purchase, I still master these settings, e.g. for photos and it will be OK.

    I'm happy with the printer, it meets my expectations, the display is also a nice thing, the ciss system is on its way, and it is very far away. After adding up the costs, it will cost around PLN 400 for a multi-functional color device with wifi, a memory card slot and a display, as well as an additional permanent power supply system - it's a decent price. Thank you hessto colleague for the advice and I think I can end the topic
