Quote Palace Passion at 01 Mar 2015 10.08pm Quote moaner at 01 Mar 2015 9.55pm Quote Palace Passion at 01 Mar 2015 8.36pm I'm after buying a printer and I know nothing about them. I'm looking for a printer that can print on paper or photographic paper for photos. I would also like a built in scanner, copier, WiFi etc and hopefully a printer that takes the lesser expensive ink cartridges as I have heard they are quite expensive depending on what brand a printer you have. The most I want to pay is £50. Can anyone recommend one that matches what I am looking for? Many thanks. Most inkjet all in one printers will do what you require. However the cost of printer cartridges will send you to the poor house. Get one that will allow refills from bottled ink. Search the web to find suppliers on the net. £30 ink kit will last for a couple of years. What are the printers that take the bottled ink called? I literally know nothing about printers so I don't really know what to look for.. All printers use cartridges if Inkjet & toner if Laser Google CIS Printers. CIS stands for Continuous Ink Supply.

I can run it in compatability mode but it doesn't always work.

I remember asking a mate which was the best printer, he said the one with the cheapest cartridges Came true a few years ago, was printing CV to take to an interview, ink ran out so dashed to Comet. Took a cartridge to till, handed girl £20 & she wanted more. The black cartridge was £29.99 Went to check & sales guy came over, I asked if they'd made a mistake - nope Had no choice, but a black cartridge was £29.99 & colour the same to for both it would cost £60 They were selling new printers (HP) for £50 so it would be cheaper to buy a basic printer, keep the ink & throw the printer away

Fcuking clowns. My question would be which offers the widest compatibility to ensure readily available knock-off cartridges rather than refilling. I know a good site I use for anything electrical [Link] and they do a good range, but I'd have to search for the best £40-50 printers and check if they then did the cheap cartridges for each model.

I buy all my ink cartridges on fleabay, a lot cheaper than shop prices. I can honestly say I can't see any difference in print quality than these and named brands. You're asking me what it's all about, and I can't tell you because I don't know what's going on myself.
