Photosmart D5160 Printer £19.95! RRP - £59.95!

Gus_Reed

Hey all! I did search the forums to see if this had been posted but it hadn't. If it has and it just didn't show up, please forgive me. :A

Found this amazing Photosmart D5160 Printer for just £19.95! (£24.95 inc p+p I think it was).

According to the Apple website, it prints "lab quality" 6 ink photo printing, laser quality document printing PLUS the ability to print straight on to CD's/DVD's! How wicked is that!

*BUT* the Terms & Conditions say that this printer is only availabe at this price if you buy it with a computer purchase. However, its apparntly NOT true because at HotUKDeals

if you scroll down to the 4th post, the guy says his brother has already bought and received one and his brothers friend has already bought and received 10!

Even eBay have them 4 between £32-£65! Don't beleve me? See for yourself

There are also many other people who have either bought and received one in the last few days, or remember a similar offer that Apple previously had where the same printer was on offer for £29.99 inc p+p. I've included the Apple description and specification below.

So based on all of the above and my countless hours (well, 1hr 33min) of researching and writing this flippin' post, I'd say this is probably one of the BEST deals I've seen for a very long time! Would you agree?

Right then, there you go. ENJOY!

Thanks All,

Yeah me too went on these sites to save money but instead I end up buying bargains and spending much more than before.

Great deal, thanks :beer:

Does anyone know if you can get cheap cartridges for this though? I had a quick Google and Ebay search without much luck. Just worried it might be like the Lexmarks - cheap printer, extortionate ink costs...

Cheers!

Wouldnt really consider it the best deal ever, seeing as you just pinched it directly from HotdealsUK. Great work...!

How does the fact that it was posted on Hotdeals diminish the deal? It hadn't been posted here and he did a favour to all the posters here that don't read hotdeals.

He also linked to the hotdeal thread

Christ, sometimes I think people only come on here to moan about other posts.

The OP made it perfectly clear that it was on another site, and contrary to popular belief, some people do not read both forums.

Good post, pay no attention to the pedant.

This comes with 3 cartridges so you might be better off ordering a couple of printers to supply your next lot of cartridges rather than buying them seperately. Who nows you may event then be able to sell the extra printers without the cartridges and get your money back!
