All In One Printer

http://uk.shopping.com/xPC-Epson-Epson-Stylus-DX4000-A4-Multifunction-Printer~PD-35856968~FD-6~kworg-~linkin_id-8001233~DMT-199~VK-?tduid=06bfda1a07a753fffffe247a803615f2&affId=1285566

the link above seems to have some great cheap all in one epson printers but the inks seem so expensive.

Can anyone suggest a great all in one printer (doesn't have to have an lcd screen) that has the cheapest ink. It seems that cannon, olivetti, HP, lexmark and brother have very expensive inks so is Epson the best for inks or can someone suggest better? thanks. :confused:
:p

    The ones on Ebay have a 12 month warranty and are sold by Brother UK, and many of them are all-in-ones.

    If you really want a new one though, its not for you. :)

    The Brother (MFC-240C) came 24th out of 24 in the current (March 2007) which? computing magazine test of All-in -one printers.
    The 4 best buys were all Canon.
    The next 2 were Canons, then 4 Epsons,then 3 more Canons & then 4 HP's.
    Next few places belonged to Lexmark & Dell.

    I would not bother with the Brother machine.
    Nice to save.

    thanks so much for the above advice. I had a look at the ones on ebay but they didn't inspire me and to be honest I wanted to stick to Epson, good rep and cheaper inks. Finally went for one on amazon £49 epson 4000 which had good customer reviews on 2 or 3 sites and will be just right for what I need it for. Thanks for everyones help :T
