Ron,
I'm using a HP Deskjet 950, and it works great. I buy refurb printer cartridges which work fine.
I used to do what you are suggesting of printing out all the charts to keep in a trade log, but ultimately I found that it is much more effective and efficient to do everything electronically. Paste the images into Word or the like and add your commentary there as well.
I used to think that the whole push to go all electronic was just an excuse for geeks to have more toys to play with. Instead, I've found the less paper I have around, the more efficient I am. Maybe, the geeks were right : )
Regards,

I decided to add a feature to my trading tracking system. I will start printing the chart of the buy setup and I will also be printing the chart of the sell setup that prompted me to decide to sell. Both of these charts will be a permanent part of my record keeping system.
I know absolutely nothing about color printers. The one that I have now is a Lexmark Z22, quite probably the least expensive printer ever made.
I am refilling the two cartridges myself. One is for black, and the other has three colors in it.
I am guessing that I would be much better off with separate color cartridges, but who knows.
I want to pay enough for a printer so that the charts will look very good, but I do not need a printer what prints great digital photos. If the great photo printer costs only $50.00 more, then I would pay the additional $50.
Speed is the most important feature, I will be printing anywhere from 5 to as many as 20 charts a day, usually no more than 10 to 15 at one session, and about 2 sessions a day.
I used to have a Hewlett Packard, and I discovered that their cartridges time out eventually, so that they will no longer work after an extended period of time has passed.
The second most important feature is the ease of refilling the cartridges. It would be nice to have a printer whose software accurately tells you how much ink is still in each cartridge. Better that, would be a feature that warns you well ahead of time when each cartridge is running low. The local Dallas man who makes my refill kit said that it is better to not let them run too low, because the heads start to heat up.
I hope to hear some experienced opinions, and also about the reputation of various brands. TIA Ron D
