Epson C42 printer - where can I get one?

Options
I only need a small printer and I would prefer an Epson because the ink cartridges are much cheaper than the Lexmark printer I have.

Does anyone know where I can get a cheap Epson C42 from?

Or can you recommend a smallish printer with cheap cartridges? It's only for home use so I don't need anything flashy.

Thanks for your help in advance.

    How about a Canon i80 or i70?

    Can be found very cheap on fleabay, extremely small and you can get cartridges (non-genuine) from as little as £1 each.
    Treat others as you would like to be treated :A

    I agree with zincoxide, stick to Canon. I purchased a Canon IP1500 to replace an epson C42 and am very pleased with the quality and the availability of cheap cartridges.

    I've just bought an Epson D88, about £57 incl P and P from CCL Computers ( https://www.cclonline.com ). It seems fine so far. It uses 4 separate ink cartridges so you dont have to replace the whole colour cartridge when one colour runs out. I'll be using compatible cartridges in it in future which are cheaper than the Epson brand.
