hyai need a new printer, i want one with the least expensive ink, ive seen ink cartidges in tesco for 2 n 3 pound, suitable for some canon, and epson printers. the trouble is i cant find the printers that match the ink, can anyone help! e.g. one cartridge is suitable for the canon IP1700 n i can only find the canon IP1600 0r IP1200 if u get me?
I've just bought a new printer of Amazon.co.uk last weekend, arrived Tuesday lunchtime - It's the Epson Stylus DX4000 multifunction Printer / Scanner / Copier, costs £49.94 but comes to £58.63 if you choose express delivery like I did + you also got to buy the USB lead to hook it up to your computer seperately (USB Type A to USB Type B)........ and it's bloody brilliant.As far as I know, EPSON printers are known for going easy on ink usage, and the cartridges look pretty cheap on Amazon UK too..... prices starting at £4.75 each (not bad... ink for my old XEROX which expired last Friday was about £7.99), and you can also buy multi-packs containing all 4 cartridges for £20.03, which works out at £5 each.Here's a direct link to the printer in question:
