You might check you local area for recycle centers that specialize in electronics who buy copiers, printers, computers, etc. Or you might have a school that offers repair courses that buys broken equipment for students to learn on.

What will happen if I use heavyweight matte inkjet paper in a laser copier?
Question by rhdneal: What will happen if I use heavyweight matte inkjet paper in a laser copier?
I have a box of Epson professional media Matte Paper – Heavyweight, in the A3 size. It says on the box it is for the “Epson photo stylus EX/1200”, which is an inkjet printer. I no longer have an Epson inkjet printer, and want to have copies made at Kinko’s. They told me I can use any paper “as long as it works in a laser printer”.

Answer by fhotoace
All you can do is try using one sheet and see
This would be the direct approach.
My guess is that the paper will not perform well in a laser printer.

Why is my copier printing with a weird red tone?
Question by yuppiemommy: Why is my copier printing with a weird red tone?
Hello,
We have a HP7210 (an allin one but we use it for only fax & copier). It is printing in a weird reddish tone. I have done a toner check on it and when I do the toner check – all our new btw – it prints perfectly but try and get it to copy something and it turns it a weird cast of red. (the letters not the entire page). I have checked HP website but they do not address this. Thanks for any help!

Answer by firebolt
Low level of blue and yellow can cause that. If that is the case red is the strongest and most visible. Another reason could be printer calibration. See in the manual if there is something mentioning printer calibration. It is a test which shows if printer heads of different cartridges are printing on top of each other mixing the ink into wanted colors. Process it self is automated.

What is the formula to scale something down in inches for a copy machine?
Question by DizzyUpTheBlonde: What is the formula to scale something down in inches for a copy machine?
I know there is a formula one can use to set the zoom on a copy machine when you want a copy of something, but smaller or larger.
For instance, if you have an 8.5″x11″ document that you want to shrink to fit into a CD case (so, 4.75″x9.5″), you can use this formula to figure out what X and Y to set the zoom percentages to.
I’ve seen others use it. However, I’ve not been able to find this formula. Does any one out there know it?
Best answer:
Answer by ubiquitous_phi
Greetings,
Assuming you want the length to go from 11″ to 4.75″
This is a reduction of 4.75/11*100% = 43.2%

Is it more cost-effective to print gray or black lettering on an inkjet printer?
Question by darshakay: Is it more cost-effective to print gray or black lettering on an inkjet printer?
My first instinct is that gray would be cheaper, because it would be less ink used than full black. However, I know that some copy machines use COLORED ink to print gray tones (which obviously costs more than black ink)…….

Answer by Nebojsa D
I am not 100% sure, but think that your second guess is the right one. Because when I was out of colour ink, and had filled only the black, my HP inkjet wasn`t printing the gray properly… The letters were ok, but the rest, some tabels etc were not. And when I had the colour one filled, than it started to prind properly.
I think that you should try to print a page of text in gray, but take out the colour cartridge, and see how the gray tone comes out. If it is fine, than I think that you can save some ink. But I think that it won`t save much.
Hope I helped a little.

Skipping out on Color toner for an office copy machine?
Question by snoopz_87: Skipping out on Color toner for an office copy machine?
In our office we have a heavy duty color copier, printer, scanner. With tax season around the corner, our concern right now is supplies. We want to know if even though we will only be using black toner, do the color toners also get used, and will those be running out as well? Our copy machine model is Imagistics CM2020.

Answer by jonsey8008
Set the printer to only print in greyscale and it will only use the black ink

Copy vs. Scan – Why does a copier have better quality than a scanner?
Question by HeyNowBrownCow: Copy vs. Scan – Why does a copier have better quality than a scanner?
I have noticed that on digitial copiers (either black/white or color) they can turn out good results when making a copy, but if you then take that same machine and scan your document in (such as in 300 dpi) the results are much degraded.
Does a digital copier use a different scanning technology for copies than when scanning to PC?
Best answer:
Answer by Marco – Yahoo
yes different methods –
A fax / scanner converts what it scans into a picture i.e pixels and as a result the quality is reduced drastically.
A digital machine is able to create “pictures” but uses vector images, which are sharper and have better quality.

You said COPIER, is this a stand-alone device? A walk-up copier is different from a MFD (Multi-Function Device) that can copy AND print from a network. It also provides the functionality of a room full of equipment by doing things like send and receive faxes. An embedded hard drive is the thing that concerns business folks by holding data indefinitely. Memory within allows the scanning of documents to act independently.

Is there a color copier out there that uses liquid ink instead of powder?
Question by : Is there a color copier out there that uses liquid ink instead of powder?
I find that the powder is very messy and hard to maintain. I’m also looking for a color copier and RIP device that outputs the best quality and takes more than 100lb paper. I know it’s a lot of info but I need ideas. Thanks people!

Answer by Tomasthanes
Printers based on lasers and photosensitive drums use “toner” (powder). Printers based on ink-jet technology use ink.
You can find all-in-one printer/fax/scanners that use an ink-jet to print. HP makes these as well as other vendors.
If you’re just looking for high quality color printers, I would look at “photo” quality printers.
