All in one printers

[total novice]

What is the best all in one printer as i need it for my college work and my husband needs it for setting up his own business. We cant afford a really expensive one and to be able to buy cheap cartridges.

The printer we have at the moment is a Lexmark Z605 and the cartridges are really expensive plus we need an all in one.
I hope someone can advise me as i aint got a clue on printers and how good they are.

If you go for an Epson you will not be dissapointed I promise. shop around for replacement cartridges I pay about �4.00 each for mine, but not original Epson cartridges.

Thank you very much.

I'd go with Epson too. I've found them to be great printers.

You can get cheaper ink cartridges at places like here:

There is a good brand of non-Epson cartridges but I can't remember the name; when I do I'll post back!

you can refill some ink cartridges, I believe. maybe look into this to save on the ongoing costs?

My university department advises all students to use Epson printers - the halls of residence are full of them.

The price of compatible cartridges for the older Epson models are very cheap. Even their "chipped" cartridges are cheap compared to other makes.

I could obtain some very expensive inkjet printers and colour laser printers if I wanted and could have them installed in my home tomorrow free of charge. They can keep them as far as I'm concerned, as for the last eight years, I've been using an Epson Stylus Colour 600 and I've been buying my own compatible cartidges for around �7.00 a set (colour and black cartridges).

They can't be beaten.

The colour laser printer I had installed at home a year ago has a current list price of over �1000. I never use it, preferring my Epson 600 every time.
