Hello.
I need to buy a new printer, but the problem is that i don't have any idea about printers.
So i gave a look onto amazon best sellers and find this:
https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B00HZDLDH4/ref=zg_bs_937989031_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=K8081RJ18ZRPA783DJBN

But also i saw this other one recommended in some web as te best "budget printer"

https://www.amazon.es/Canon-PIXMA-MG5750-Impresora-multifunci%C3%B3n/dp/B013OQJMD2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480695362&sr=8-1&keywords=canon+pixma+mg5720

So I'm wondering is the last one worth the difference :S about 8 euro.

I don't even know the differences between them.

So i would apreciate some help.

Thank you.

Ink. Look at what the ink will cost over the life of the printer. Also the MX475 uses a1 color cartridge to produce color, so if 1 color goes out(you use a lot of red let's say), then you have to replace the whole cartridge - possibly wasting some blue and yellow ink.

The MG 5750 has 5 cartridge (2 black, and 3 color). Then you only replace the ink that runs out - with no waste. Also you get a pigment black which is a higher quality.

For every reason stated above the mg is a better printer.

You can run out of a colour & still print in black or grayscale.

Run out of 1 black you can still print using the other.

You can also get good quality cheap compatible inks, printer very rarely clogs or needs heads cleaning & the print head cartridge is fairly easily replaceable if it ever gets damaged.

Photo print quality is 9/10 class - up there with the £250 Epson px it replaced in my house.
