Printer, scanner, copier

honeyD

Hi, I have been looking for a printer, scanner, copier for a while now and went today to get one from Argos but was told theirs dont come supplied with ink! I mean what? What is the point of that lol.
Anyway I had a look in Sainsuburys and they had one on at just under £70 which I was tempted to get but hubby said wait and we will see what we find online at home. So off we went to Wilkinsons and found the same one there for just under £40! And it had ink! lol.
Just wanted to share incase anyone else is looking for one. It looks pretty nice too.

Perhaps a make and model number may assist the savvy shopper?

I'm looking for one myself, the thing that's important to me is the cost of the replacement ink.

Can anyone advise?

Had bought a 'cheap' printer before, but new inks were a fortune!

thanks

Epson Printers tend to have the cheapest replacement inks and usually have 3 or 6 seperate colours so you only replace the colour thats run out. Also you dont have to buy epson own brand inks a lot of online places do there own replacment inks for epsons for a couple of pounds or so. I would say avoid HP as the replacment inks are extortianate and the non HP colour inks you can buy for them are not always the best (depending on what you are printing). One of the cheapest online cartridge places is www.cartridgepeople.com and they always seem to have special offers on also.

I bought a cannon 3in1 printer a couple of months ago from Argos, that came with inks. £39.99 at the time.

I thought all printers came with ink even if they were just the half filled ones, so that you could check the printer was working properly

I have a Samsung, it is really good! can't remember the model number though, i'll check for you later...

We've got a Lexmark X7350 3 in 1 and it does the job well but the replacement cartridges are very expensive. We could have bought 3 printers for the price it's cost in ink cartridges.

It didnt say anything in them when I was looking
Just said which you need. I asked to make sure and the woman said no they dont come with ink you need to buy it.

The one I got is: HP Deskjet F4280 from Wilkinsons. It is on Asda Direct for £77 :eek:

Had done my online research and ordered an epson sx405, replacement inks are reasonable.

I then came back on here and read your reply dnomyar, so thanks loads, i did the right thing.

Had a cannon before and actually flung printer in bin when ink ran out as replacement ink cost more than buying printer new again!!
