I need a printer

[GrandOldTeam]

I think its safe to say a few on here know their stuff when it comes to stuff like this...

Any recommendations?

Doesn't have to do anything special, just cheap ink cartridges.

cheapskate
i got an epson with scanner the lot, dx8400 i think, the epson ink is dear but as always a couple of weeks after it came out you could get compatable cartridges on ebay, i got about 6 sets for the price of 1 real set, from a bloke in bolton. you can bung memory cards into it, memory sticks etc in fact you dont even have to use a pc to print your pics, was about £85 when i got it, quite bulky though, but handy for use as a photocopier and all the rest.

You've been Marcus Bented there.

i have the epson dx4000 - cheap ink and reliable

it was 12 months ago and just launched i've no doubt they are a lot cheaper now, i wanted a scanner though and one day you'll find out why!! when i return home drunk and email you a scan of my butt with my spuds in shot as well. for that alone it will be worth every penny

I use a Canon Pixma iP1800. Cheap printer, cheap ink and great print quality. Looks cool too!

The iP1800 is 27 quid! Pretty cheap if you ask me!

Now Dylans iP1800 is in the lead!

Final test. Can I get the ink from regular places such as Asda?

I dont buy clothes on eBay anymore. Not since I ordered a pair of stan smiths and got a darth vadar fancy dress mask.

Mine is a HP Laserjet 1600, professional quality prints, the ink is quite expensive but the ink that came with it has lasted me for 2 years so you don't need to buy them very often

Pah. Lexmark Z640 £20 from Asda ftw.
