Im done with buying expensive printers. Can anyone tell me a current easy to get All in one unit for around $130 retail that i will also be able to buy non Manufac ink for. The last printer i bought was a $400 EPSON and none of the online places would ever keep the ink for it so i had to pay $30 per catridge. Just looking for something cheap and cheerful. Can anyone reccomend one that they know i can obtain the cheap ink for ?
Theres some pretty big sales right now at Target on multifunction printers. http://www.target.com/gp/detail.htm...4?_encoding=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B0009JR4N8 http://www.target.com/gp/detail.htm...4?_encoding=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B0009JR4O2 Ink don't come cheap, but you should find the ink for these at pretty good prices. Also, a cheap way to refill your cartriges is to buy a refill kit and refill the cartriges with needles. Even tho that method is cheaper, its probably very messy and the cartiges get old and messy as well.
A cheap but good all in one I have is HP 1300 series. I pd $125 and now they are at walmart for around $80. I don't know about the ink because I haven't ran out yet, had it for a year. You can get cheaper ink for the epson at Abacus Private Store. I have an epson for printing on discs. For photo printer I have a pixma 6000 Canon. High quality but can replace ink by single cartridge. I know it sucks epson ink is so high they aren't the printer business they are in the INK business. Hope this helps.
scott i have an CX-6600 i got at staples and it ended up being only 100 bucks with the rebates and i get ink online at meritline.com or supermediastore .com for under 25 bucks four all 4 carts.
Just wanted to thank you guys for the input. I have been on Merritline and have checked out both the EPSON products and both seem to have very cheap ink available. However i also checked out the Lexmark from Target and the ink for that one was crazy expensive still so i will stick with the EPson. Thanks guys
