    Just wondering has anyone recommendations on a budget printer? Will be used at home. Seen some go for 50 euro but unsure as to how reliable they would be.

    Ideally anything under 100 euro and where print cartridges dont cost an arm and a leg, easy to come by for refills etc and I dont get blocked printing in black, if a cyan colour is empty.

    I just buy a printer, when it runs out it's cheaper to buy a new printer...

    Use Amazon and there does be great offers....

    Ink ends up costing at least €10-€15 more

    Invest in the printer or get ripped for the ink. Its one or the other. Buy a CISS printer (Epson Ecotank for example) and then get dirt cheap ink in bottles not cartridges.

    forget about colour and buy a wireless laser printer - faster, less messy, cartridges don't dry out and more reliable than ink and cheap per page.

    wireless is so handy also

    this one for £40 is a good option because cheap non-brand toners are available for it (less than £15 for 1000 pages so 1.5p per page)
