Its no good buying a printer just because its the cheapest.The main thing to consider is the cost of replacement ink cartridges which can cost up to �40 ea.for black and colour unless you can buy compatibles.For this reason Epson is the best choice and at the moment an excellent model the C44X is widely available at about �30.

Dodgyshirt, you took the words from my mouth. We recently bought an Epson Stylus C42 printer & only a few weeks I later saw the same model at nearly half the price! When I asked why it had been reduced by so much, I was told 'strictly off the record' that they needed to make the prices more inviting for more people to buy them - but & a very big but - once the printers are purchased & used, you are committed to paying exorbitant prices for their ink cartridges! It's such a scam & these suppliers ought to be brought to task, just like the mobile phone companies - cheap phones, exorbitant call costs!
