They all do that.

Just pick the one you think looks good.

Probably as cheap buying a colour laser printer. It`ll be the black toner that goes first and they`re not dear. You can replace the toner yourself. It`s just powder.

I gave up with my inkjet as it cost a fortune for inks.I just use my 25 year old laser that has printed thousands of sheets for work,holidays and everything.It is on it`s second toner cartridge as first only lasted 17 years.

They do these wireless portable ones these days for £50 or so that don’t need ink just a WiFi link to your phone.
Only cost is the thermal paper but highly recommended as you print out labels

I have an Epson XP-4105, great for basic printing and scanning with wireless connection - no longer available, however the next generation XP will be a good choice. Monthly subscription for cartridges is as cheap as chips unless you are doing large print run.

Ive got an old Epson that`s still going too.

I get my ink from stinkink and use the non branded refills. Generally works fine but if left for months it sometimes needs to run a renewal process to get rid of blocks.

I don`t do pictures but I`d be looking for an Epson if I was looking for another printer.

Looks like they have a 6 month ink offer on just now too.

Don`t print out much these days but I have a HP printer that does everything, scan, print etc.

Cheers for the help/advice guys .. Drove up to Fort Kinaird today and got a cheap
and cheerful Canon .. £31.99 Including Ink .. Ink refills are more than the Printer cost !! how do they get away with what they charge for printer ink ?
