simple printer needed - cheap ink and just for printing

unwashed potato! · 25 Oct 2009 at 17:43

i'm looking for a printer that just prints (mostly text but may include a few logos etc on the paper) in both colour and black (though black is mostly what it'll be used for) and is the cheapest choice for ink.

i currently have an all in one printer in my house so it doesn't need to scan/photo copy/fax etc.

any suggestions? £100 is top budget if it makes ink much cheaper as i don't want to have to worry everytime i'm printing a document off. saying that i probably wont be printing lots of documents very often, perhaps 50 per month.

I bought a canon i865 some years ago. The printer and software that came with it are beautiful. It all just works so well. Also the inks are not terribly expensive compared to some others.

So long as Canon haven't changed how they do things I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a Canon printer.

TrustedReviews rated the Xerox Phaser 6125 colour laser quite highly. Although it's quite a bit over your budget (around £130) the toners will last forever with your usage pattern, so you would save money in the long run.
