Hi,

I'm so tired of spending $30 for stupid ink. I keep ending up with printers that have the print head on the cartridge so it makes the ink very expensive. I don't print a lot but when I do it's coupons, resume's (Thx Bush, I lost my job), and a few color pic's. I'm not that picky on quality. I've never owned a printer that the quality was an issue but I usually buy middle upper priced ones. I hope someone has the answer...

Thanks!

:o)

I use a canon 1500 pixma, which is discontinued. Look at venders such as 4ink.com for cheap generic replacement cartridges. I got about 20 cartridges (10 black, 10 color) for less than $40 shipped for mine.

I think most Cannon and Epson cartridges are relatively cheap. There are lots of websites that sell compatible generic cartridges much cheaper than oem $4 vs $15. Another good place to look for ink is ebay.

Most people make the mistake of buying a Lexmark printer because it's very cheap, but don't look at the price of the ink before hand.

I would recommend either Canon or Epson, I haven't used Canons so can't really comment on there quality or reliability. I have however had a couple of of Epsons and they are very good.

My current main printer is an Epson R220 (cost around £60/$90 at the time), and I use a continous ink system so buy ink in 250ml bottles (equates to around £0.30 ($0.45) per cartridge), it's a 6-cartridge printer so very good quality and since had it I've probably printer 25,000+ full colour pages and it's still going strong.

Ever thought about a laser printer

I've got a Samsung ML-2240

very economical and very fast, u could just use your inkjet printer for color and use the laser for black.

a Toner cartridge can print about 1500pages and costs about 80$

^True that. There was B&W laser (Samsung, HP) being sold on Newegg during sales from $80-120.

Heck you could get one for $65:
