    I usually buy Tesco's own cartridge refills as they are a lot cheaper than the manufacturers, unless on special offer.

    I have a HP photosmart all-in-one printer, and its excellent. Amazon have a different model from the one I've got on offer for £48.94 with free delivery (was £79.99), see here.

    I'm a Canon fan, long while now, 'cos their cameras have always been good for me.

    On their 3rd printer now, also working well.

    If you clik on the Argos link for canon mp250 you'll see ink offers, which you can compare £$£$. with online suppliers. Customer reviews link there too!

    Also don't ignore Staples - if you sign up for their e mails, you'll get special offers sent now & again.

    & buy it from Argos this week, with something else to bring spend up to £50 (or £100) to take advntage of their £5 or £10 voucher offer.

    Yes, don't. I had one, which was really cheap, but the cartridges were really expensive, and cost much more than the printer.

    How about this Epson SX115, £34.95 and just looked at ebay and you can get a full set of compatibles for around £3 a set.
