I want a new printer £50 budget

Comments

  • I have an Epson D68 Photo edition printer. It was about £45 and I can get all four cartridges (original Epson) from Amazon for just under £16. I would say that's not too bad, and have had no trouble with it. If you wanted to save more money you could always look to getting the compatible cartridges which are a lot cheaper.

  • I bought my Lexmark printer in Asda £35. It does the job.

    any more input on this topic?

    I'm looking for a printer aswell with rougly £50 budget. Mostly for printing letters, CV's etc.

    I think cartridge cost is probably my biggest concern.

    Are HP cheap for cartridges??
  • Nooo HP are the worst!!

    Ive just bought the Epson Stylus D78 and it is fab! Had to buy a replacement black ink the other day and it was £6.99!! Amazing!

  • I was in Tesco yesterday and they had a very stylish looking all in one printer/scanner from HP for £32.97, sadly I cant remember the exact model number. Apparently it was reduced from £79.99!

    If I buy this one does it come with a cable? Or must I order seperately?

    you mean a usb cable?
    if required, try the local pound shop. a quid each in mine.

  • No it doesn't come with a cable, and the man in the shop told me that no printers come with them. I just used the cable from my old HP printer. :)
