we have the epson stylus cx6400 photocopier/scanner/printer all in one..cartridgesx4 are about £15-£18 at pc world,but recently my hubby now gets all four cartridges for £5.99&pp =£8.98...if anyone is interested www(.)bestpriceink(.)co(.)uk does some great deals..which some of us need with all the info you gota print out with research.

BT Multijet 3000 - great machine, but the cost of both cartridges together comes to over £80. Anybody recommend a good all in one machine that doesn't cost the earth in ink?

before u buy try this place http://www.macksmedia(.)com remove brackets Paul

Always go for a Canon, you only need to replace the ink tank, not the whole print head assy as you do with Epson and HP! Mind you the smaller ones like the S200 and 300 are ink gobblers. I worked for a subsidiary of Cannon for 10 years and was quite impressed with the durability and quality of their machines.

I have an Epson C42 Plus and I buy my ink from Ink2U In Bridgewater it usually comes within 2 days of ordering on line I have paid £5.72 for a colour Cartridge (compatable ) Bren

You have all confirmed my worse fears - LEXMARK - cheap to buy but the ink costs as much as the Printer did.

Used to spend a fortune on printer ink for my Lexmark printer until Tesco's started their own brand for half the price. They have a booklet to match your printer with their ink and the assistant helped me work out which one to buy. They also do much cheaper printer paper etc. Another friend goes to computer fairs and gets hers even cheaper there. Natalie

Daniel, i have the Epson CX3200, and like Arthur I use The Ink Factory, they are bogof! I normally get 3 black & 3 coloured for the same price at 1 black & 1 coloured of the Epson make. Kim

Hi Steve, I also have a cannon S200 what is this about an ink factory my ink lasts quite a while Margaret

this reminds me - I have NO ink at all in my printer!!! must remember to go and get some tomorrow! Maz. XX

I have a Canon S520 and get my ink from Inkfactory buy one get one free which works out bat £4 each. Steve.

we have HP1200 and the black ink costs £10 and the coloured £16 at cartridge world. Jan

got a canon i475D. cartridges are not too bad - buy 2 black for every 1 colour and they last a couple of months depending how much I print. If the kids get in here unsupervised they go mad printing all sorts! Previously we had an Epson but it was just stupid prices for the ink - cost 30 quid every time - cheaper to buy a new printer almost! Maz. XX

we used to have an HP printer but it was cheaper to buy a new printer than buy cartridges lol we now have a canon i320 .it was £60 to buy but the cartridges are £6 from staples. hubby has just got new cartridges from e bay.he buys them in a pack of 8 they were so cheap but i cant remember off hand how much lol susie

Still using a black and white HP LaserJet 4L. Ten years old, rarely jams, toner about £40 every two or three years. Rarely need colour and run the odd copy through at work.

Ive had a HP deskjet 690 and it used 3 different cartridges.(Kids would use all the colour ones really fast though, printing off full colour pics lol)The proper HP cartridges were around £30 each.I now use a HP Laserjet (black and white)for my family history work and the toner cartridges are about £45 but last forever(Ive only had one new one in nearly 2 years)and im printing off absolutely loads of stuff Anna :-)

I have the new epson cx 6600 all in one with built in card readers.The cartridges [four] cost £ 15 a set.Fred.ptfg.

I'm embarassed now cos you all seem to have much better printers than me :((( Daniel, easy, just do what my son does when he wants to print something ..... bring it through to my pc on a floppy and so use my ink! Mandy :)

Elaine, Snap, mines the same one, just running a colour cartridge at moment, looking out for a decent one that uses cheap cartridges, I use at least two cartridges a month(one of each) sometimes i think it would be cheaper to buy a new printer once a month!!!
