Airprint printer wanted

Need advice, I seem to be getting conflicting advice everywhere 
I want a new printer, airprint, wireless, cheap ink available, don't care about print quality really... any modern printer would be ok for us.
I seem to be going round in circles trying to find the right one.

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

Can no one help, I just want a printer that uses compatible inks that are very cheap.
Plus the wireless and the airprint. I can't find one!Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0 -
Check part three here

Of those, the SX445W and SX535WD will have compatible inks available.
Most of the XP range will have compatibles but are expensive at the moment.

Thankyou very much, I think the 535 will do us nicely. Have to do a bit more checking on it first though.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0

So the 535 isn't available anymore. If I go for the Epson workforce WF-2530WF, will the inks come down in price, in time?Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0

So I guess you need the Airprint feature for an iPhone or iPad.
I have a HP 3050 which I didn't buy specifically for Airprint but it does work. Was going cheap at Tesco.

If Argos say they have them, then they should, or there are three here at the moment, more expensive though the cheaper inks should help.

Another option for the HP

Argos are (or at least were, a couple of weeks ago when I bought one) selling the Brother MFC-J4410DW (crazy name, crazy printer) for a very good price. Duplex, scan, a completely superfluous in 2013 fax, seems to be reasonably priced ink, works flawlessly in a Mac/iPhone/iPad household.0
