[Amel Yacht Owners] Printer onboard?
|
Ann-Sofie Svanberg <kanalmamman@...>
I wouldn’t do without a printer onboard, mostly because of my job. 😊
I have had a HP Laser worked perfect until there where no drivers for it anymore … Changed to a compact printer/scanner/copy/fax HP ink jet in 2014 it still works like a charm. The only drawback with an inkjet is that if the printed paper get damp the text will float out.
We did have problem to find a suitable place for the printer so we rebuilt the foul weather wardrobe next to the navigation table to a drawer with enough place in the top drawer for a printer.

Dear Amelians,
Contemplating getting a printer onboard...
From experience: - would you say that is something useful to have onboard? - Any suggestions or recommendations of models both compact and resistant to usage on boat?
Thanks for your input Fair winds, Soraya

Good morning Soraya,

So I can not recommend a specific printer, but in my opinion, the printer should at least accept 50 and 60 Hz current. Best is also 110/220 volt (or 220 volt since the boat is in 220 volt). I started with a HP P1505, only because at the time this was the smallest, but after 3 years started to have issue with the USB connectors (I assume from the salty climate). Also had an HP Envy 120, which I like because of the 50/60 HZ and 110/220 Volt, plus it was scanner, but eventually the climate also created problem. Now I am using a Samsung M2020 printer and a Epson Perfection V39 scanner simply because they are small and were very cheap. The Samsung is only 110 volt (50/60hz). The Epson uses USB for power. what ever you purchase make sure of the 50/60 Hz frequency.

Soraya We have had the same printer on board for the last 8 years. It has been and is very reliable. Extremely useful for sharing info with other boaters and for printing out info and notes when needed. Our printer is a HP Photosmart C7200 series it is a bit big for a boat. We removed the dishwasher and located it under the starboard side sink in our Super Maramu. We also have installed shelves above the printer for dishtowel storage.

Hello Soraya; We have the HP ML150 portable printer on board. It is pretty small, battery operated (rechargeable), light and can print at decent speeds and blue tooth. We typically just take it out, print a few pages and put it back. No wired connections needed. Every once in a while we have to plug in to charge. Very convenient and useful. We just put it the front port side cabin locker out of the way. Mohammad and Aty B&B Kokomo AMEL 54 # 099
