Heatons are selling these printers for half price now €29.90. They are also reduced to £30 on Amazon. Scanner built in not wireless but good budget printer for price.

For a colour & black, in XL, it's €60. As usual, HP rip-off pricing applies. That's PCW price by the way, so cheaper elsewhere I guess.

Still, madness IMO.

I use inkmaestro.ie for my toner and ink requirements, good prices on both generic and specific brands and quick delivery.
I've no connection with them other than being a customer since around 2010. Buying ink in a bricks and mortar store is throwing your money away.

Inks look pricey...

At €30 the printer is disposable really. The only own downside is the manufactures are on to this tactic and new printers generally only come with smaller than normal cartridges. I think a small laser, or all in one with a scanner is a better long term buy and more useful tbh.

i have a hp 6180 . It's a complete pain in the ars* . It takes about 2 minutes to print the first page from when you switch it on . It goes thru this big initialisation routine every time, making groaning and banging noises as it goes. I'd steer well clear of HP printers. Canon inkjets printers are the best .

www.inkjet.ie is where i buy my ink and i have no connection with the company.

Well, I've paid less for ink with them for my printers (I've a laser bw printer and a colour ink printer/scanner) than I would have in a PCWorld or other b+m store. I can't vouch for all inks. Also the ones in your link seem to be a good bit cheaper than the €60 quoted a few posts above. (Colour / Black XL is €42)

For the set of 2x 3rd party inks from ink maestro with delivery works out at 46.45 Euro and contain a total of 30ml. (1.55 Euro per ml)

I get a full set of 5x 3rd party inks for my Canon delivered for 4.50 Euro and they contain a total of 70ml. (6c per ml)

Also consider that with an all in one colour cartridge you have to replace it when just one of the colours runs out. Whereas with individual inks you just replace one at a time as needed. This in itself saves you even more money.

For the 30 Euro printer in question and one set of inks from ink maestro at 46 Euro that'll run out in no time, you're looking at 76 Euro which is almost the same price you can get a decent Canon with much higher resolution printing and scanning with Wifi and dirt cheap inks from then on.

Yeah, what I meant was inks for the OP's particular model were expensive, not inkmaestro prices in general.

Cheers Blade for the info. I've been lurking around the printer BA's for awhile now as my old Dell gave up the ghost over xmas. Any links to the printer model and ink refills you are referring to above?

I got a Canon Pixma MG5350 a couple of years ago to replace an old Dell too. I got it from an Irish office supply place for 105 Euro, but if you can get the free delivery from Amazon you should be able to get one for around 80 Euro now. However you should check for some more recent reviews as there's probably an updated model available by now.

Soon after I bought the printer I bought a pack of 30 chipped ink cartridges on ebay for 27 Euro including delivery from a UK seller. The printer takes 5 cartridges, so this was 6 complete refills which I'm still going through at the moment. I don't remember the seller now but if you check even on Amazon you should be able to pick them for around the same price.
