What printer would be the best for the least expensive ink cartridge to replace? I am paying 24.00 to 29.00 for my cartridges for LEXMARK. I desire to save some cash by getting a better savings.

I'm printer shopping atm, too, and probably going with the Epson Stylus NX515 WiFi Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer at Amazon.com.

The printer ink reviews say it is ok for color, but not so good for black :non: .

I narrowed my choices between this and the Canon Pixma MP560. Both have complaints about the ink. It seems to be a known universal problem -- companies make profit on the ink, not the printers. :lol:

So, I made my selection partly based on quality of prints (ink) and partly on features. I'm going with the Epson just because it can be used hardwired, where the Canon is wifi Only.

I am interested to hear any comments about the ink "issue" as well.

Thanks.

I'm looking at getting a Continuous Ink Supply System for my Canon IP4300.

There are some photographers and graphic designers that swear by them, you just have to make sure the ink they use is of the highest quality.

If you search eBay for CIS or CISS you can find them and the printers they can be used with. The savings are MASSIVE. Be sure to read the feedback on eBay so you know you are getting the good stuff.

HP has came out with a "Green" line of cartridges that gives you a very good $/pages ratio. and is also very Eco friendly. Of course, you need an HP printer.
Consider even buying a new printer that is not very expensive.
