hi Lloyd,

as you say prices are much the same, I think the savings can be made on inks by choosing a printer that uses individual colour cartridges.... some of the canons use individuals and catridges can be as cheap as $7 per colour. Savings depend on your usage really.

With new Epsons going at about $130 - $220 it seems wiser to upgrade. Does anyone have any advice as to the choice between Epson, Lexmark or Canon etc re running costs of replacement inks etc. It appears the initial prices are
much the same.
