Regardless of the ink cost (I get my Epson ink at a discount from Atlex.com) I prefer printing my own due to the control I have. I'd never use any of the Walmarts/Costcos for my printing source and there just aren't any really good local shops that I'm aware of.

Subject: Re: Printer Recommendation


I got rid of my printers because I never used them and space is at a premium in a small house like mine. If I need to print text I do it at work. If I wanted to print photos regularly I'd investigate the long-term costs of having to buy ink versus printing at a lab.

I've found that the ink for all printers is pretty cheap as long as you don't print anything. I didn't see any mention of actually printing, so you could be pretty safe recommending just about anything.

Had a request from the boy.

Verbatim:
---------------------
Your task for the evening (should you choose to accept it (which you
should(upon death if you dont))):
need a printer that is semi-good, cheap and reliable and affordable
ink.
Preferably comes with scanner. You have 24 hours to comply.
----------------------

Hmm a printer that is 'semi-good' whatever that means. Cheap - well
plenty of cheap printers about, we all know they make the money on the
inks. Reliable?? Most printers do a fair job. Affordable ink? Well, not
the manufacturers ink then.

I use an Epson P50 with Hornsea inks

<http://www.hornseaink.com/>

and touch wood, not had a problem with these inks since started using
them about a year ago.

Strange, I paid £130 for the P50, now they are retailing for closer to
£200 !

Anyway, anyone ? Recommendations based on above please :-)
