What PRINTER do you own?

[Robot Chicken]

I was one of the people who bought that cheap Dell Photo printer for £9.99 which replaced my old Epson 660. The ink in the Dell is running out but to replace the colour and black cartridges will cost about £40.

Sod that!

So I've decided to get a nice Canon i560 which does really nice photo quality printouts, going to cost £85.

Which printers do you lot own?

Oh yes, the Canon cartridges cost about £3.50 to replace. Bloody bargain.

No, Richie - I don't really.

Epson Stylus Photo 1290 - A3 colour printer
HP Deskjet 550 - A4 colour printer
HP Laserjet 1200 - A4 b&w
John Bull printing set and spongy inkpad

The trick is to save on the cost of ink cartridges by using the b&w laser for most print jobs.

Cool, glad to hear I'm making the right decision. I don't know much about printers but after reading some reviews on reviewcentre.com the i560 got 10/10 which swayed me.

Who else got one of those Dell Photo 720 printers on that special offer?

I own the canon i350 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=50036

And buy the bargain ink cartridges:

Black: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=38843

Colour: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=38844

I always buy a printer by the cost of the ink. The good thing about canons is that they are cheap for both printer and ink

The liberty with the Dell printers in particular is that you can ONLY buy the ink direct from Dell. You can refill the cartridges but I don't know if that will work with chipped cartridges.

Lexmark cartridges are also very expensive but at least you can buy them from Comet or PC World.

HP photosmart 7350 which cost a packet two years ago but they're giving it away now. Like most advances in technology really...........

I wouldn't have thought so. Wouldn't the ink just run straight out through the chip?

BTW Epson Stylus Photo R300

Me - I bought 2 of them as they looked such a bargain.

But when I realised they only came with trial ink cartridges I put them on ebay - one sold for £36 and the other for £43!

Nice little profit
