Printer recommendation

[Loafer]

Whats the current pick of the crop for all in one printers ?

I'm thinking Canon MP640 but the lexmark interact is sixty quid cheaper

I have the MP640 - great printer, both for text, photos and printable CD/DVDs. Faultless wireless operation too. Quiet and reasonably fast.

Remember to factor in the cost of ink cartridges when comparing printer prices.

Go for the Canon, the inks are cheaper and in the long run you will save, also the print quality is amazing.

I always used to use epson printers and buy the compatible inks, never had a problem with but now a days epson printers seem quite cheaply made

canons do look good though, not sure on ink prices (genuine or comp)

Canon > 4700 about £70, cracking printer, compatible ink cartridges about £14 a set compared to £50 genuine cartridges. You sharp get your money back using compatables, l have the 4300, used compatible cartridges for over 2 years no probs at all.

the ip4700 isnt an all in one scanner copier job tho

not that i use those things very often i guess

I'm starting to think maybe all printers are hopeless unless they get a fair amount of use !

Printing maybe two or three things a month it seems the cartridges dry up or go time ex and I use half the ink trying to clean the print heads , then it still doesnt work so I buy new cartridges then if that doesnt work a new printer

I have the Canon IP2600, and a good printer. Im not too bothered about those all in ones, as I have a Canon Lite 100 scanner anyway.

I gave up on Epson printers due to cleaning problems.

The Canon i865 I bought in 2004 is still working, and has never had problems with blockages even when left for weeks between use.

I just bought a MP560 that I'm very happy with. The only obvious thing it doesn't do is print CDs.
