What is the cheapest available printer to run?

I have the printer that you originally mentioned. I buy a large bag of inks from eBay for 11.00 and they last for ages.

I've been refilling my old Samsung ML2010 with toner for years, with good results. Just need to do the job outside and clean the spent toner tray.

However the company which supplier my last batch of toner seems to be out of business.
Plenty of other retailers selling the stuff on line, but does anyone have a recommended supplier ?

Cheapest to run generally wont be the cheapest to buy.

Laser printer or one of the new printers with built in ink tanks.

Bottles of inks which are equivalent to 20 cartridges for similar money.
Just waiting for some good offers on a particular Epson inktank printer.

Bit too pricey at the moment.

Wonder how much it cost to replace that head when it goes?

Would colour printed letterheads & a cheap laser printer meet your colour-&-print requirements?
So long as the headed paper details remained the same, you could buy in a couple of boxes & let someone else bear the coloured ink costs. Then reclaim the VAT.

Canon TS 5050 two sets of 5 carts from about £10 . Just bought a new TS 5050 after my old Canon (after about 6 years hardwork) needed a new print head. About £10 more to buy a new printer than to replace print head!!
