I have 4 different printers. 1. An old Canon, which is reliable and has served me well over the years. It prints A3 and has an in-built scanner I’ve never used. Ink lasts quite a lot from what I remember, and I’d generally recommend it. 2. An Epson900 that prints on CDs. It’s a nightmare to actually get it to do that, as the tray gets stuck more than 50% of the time, and you need to trick it into accepting it. I think ink is generally ok, but I only use it for regular B&W printouts nowadays. I’ve given up on the CDs. 3. A B&W HP, sorry I don’t remember the model. I use it at work and it’s extremely fast. I generally print text on it, and it’s not that great with photos anyway. Ink lasts quite a lot. 4. A very cheap Lexmark I bought at the super-market. It’s quite practical, it’s fairly fast and easy to use, with a scanner that is also fast and easy. Unfortunately you do need to remortgage your house every 3 pages or so. I always fill up the old cartridges at a special shop. Saves a lot of money.
