Which printer has cheapest ink

G

Gaurav Dixit

Hi All,
I am planning to buy a printer (under $100.00) with following requirements.
1. It must have separate B/W and color cartridge (One for each color is even
better, so refilling will be less expensive)
2. Cost of cartridge is lowest.
3. It can print reasonable good text (B/W), I don't need highest quality.
4. It can print photo on 8"X11" photo paper (with or without border) with
reasonable good quality.


I read in this group and on web, Epson-825/925 looks good match of my
requirement, any comment? It looks Epson ink is much cheaper than others.
Some of their models have one color cartridge and other have 4 color
cartridges(one for each color), apart from B/W.

Thanks
Gaurav

I would forget the Epsons,go for Canon! Look into a Canon ,they are usually
the cheapest to operate.The ip3000 or the older i860/865 would be a good
choice.

Canon makes some of the most economical printers on the market. Their
"think tank" ink system uses individual colour cartridges and they seem
to produce the highest page coverage, keeping cost per page low.

The ink tanks are also very easy to refill, dropping costs to about
1/10th the price of replacement cartridges. With good quality
third-party photo paper and refilled ink tanks, you can print photos at
home for less than any photo lab I've come across.

Just don't buy a printer that uses a chipped cartridge. Canon printers are
good but I like HP printers. I think the Photo quality is better on the HP.

I bought a Epson C84 for 86USD and am getting a 20USD rebate on it.
I buy my carts from Printpal.com for 7 and 8 USD each shipped free.
They work great
the C84 is an excellent printer
