It usually costs far more to buy cartridges that contain all of the colours in a single unit than buying separate cartridges for each colour (particularly if you use 'compatible' cartridges). So it's worth spending a little more to get a printer that uses separate cartridges for each colour as you'll make big savings in the long run.
Point two:
The technical press frequently review all-in-one printers and it's nearly always a Canon model that comes out as their 'best buy'.
With those two points in mind, this is what I'd recommend:

If you buy your ink from here you can get a full set of all 5 cartridges for about £16 or, better, get 4 full sets of 5 cartridges for about £50. (So that's just £2.50 per cartridge):

NB: Those suggestions aren't just the result of a bit of googling. That printer is very similar to the (now discontinued) Canon printer that I own and love; the ink supplier is the one I use myself and can highly recommend.

^^^The Canon MG4250 is indeed an excellent printer. The only reason I didn't recommend it is because the inks can work out much dearer.
For example, replacing all 5 cartridges on my recommended model costs £15.99 (as per my link, assuming that you don't take advantage of the bulk buying discounts shown there). Replacing the two cartridges in the MG4250 (using the same supplier of compatible cartridges) costs £36.48

The MG4250 costs £17.01 less than the MG6450 but that saving is wiped out as soon as you replace the inks for the first time (and you'll be paying an extra 20 quid, on top of what you'd pay for the MG6450's inks, every time you refill after that).

I bought a HP ENVY 5530 from Tesco earlier this year. It quite slim-line and isn't very heavy. It cost £59. I use the photocopying feature more than the printer function. I must confess to having no need for wifi working, as it is situated next to my PC but it is wifi equipped. It has a nice large LCD screen and is easy-peasy to set up and use !
I have used HP printers for nearly 20 years and can always recommend them.

I want it for hot foiling and have got an canon Inkjet for the normal stuff. You get a 500 page toner cartridge with it and a non canon replacement is a tenner.
