Ever since I quit printing my own ink jet prints and started using Costco for RA prints, I have been using an older HP 4 in 1 printer. It proved to be fine other than I could never get the FAX to work, but that was because of my network provider and I was too lazy to pursue the matter. A few days ago I ran out of black ink, and I knew the color was low as well, so off to Costco I go. The ink pkg there, one color and one B&W was about 48 bucks. A ripoff, we all know! Well, now it is packaged in separate pkgs, either 3 B&W or 3 Color, 102 bucks each!!!! Bull Hockey! I left and went to Walmart. There was the one of each for 43 bucks. So I picked one up, and then my eye saw an Epson printer, sorta like my HP, but no FAX, significantly more compact, a better paper path, 5 inks, and it was wireless Smart Print, so I could use my IPAD with it :-) 52 bucks. Done deal, I said, and grabbed one.
any super cheap inkjet is a loss-leader designed to sell you ink later on; if you get your color output elsewhere, i'd consider finding an older laser printer; they tend to cost much less to operate (and the "ink" doesn't dry up when they've sat for a while)
