I would highly recommend the cannon as well if you plan on printing in color. It uses re-fillable ink tanks that last substantially longer than ink cartridges. I've had it for over a year now and have not yet needed to refill the ink tanks. I use it to print our flyers, instructions etc here at the shop. Could not be happier with it.

When buying a printer, understand that printers themselves are cheap and relatively disposable. It's the ink that makes all the $$$.

With the Cannon, you get a true long lasting color printer, and when you need to refill the ink, the ink bottles are a helluva lot cheaper than cartridges.

I mean, if you plan on going color you simply have to buy an Ink-Tank type printer. They're soooo much better that buying any other color-ink printer is just flat dumb.

Epson also has that refillable bottles which is a great deal.

My biggest issues with these printers is the fact I don't print in color. But when the color dries out I have to replace it just to continue printing in black. Its pure crap.

Not these ink-tank printers. I ask, do you not print in color because color printers suck, dry out and the cartridges cost too much compared to what they produce?

The ink-tank printers solve all those problems.

Like i said, i've had mine for over a year now and have yet to refill any of the inks. Supposedly you can get 6,000 pages of color prints on one ink cycle.

BUT, it is an Ink-jet, not a laser-jet, which means it still takes awhile to create a print. Compared to my Brother Laser-Jet it's slow as dick. But that's why i run both depending on the need.

It's great for us as a small business because now i can give customers full color instructions for our products without costing an arm and a leg, or needing a print shop to run us off copies, which is also expensive. It allows for better presentation in all of our documents, invoicing etc. And for things that don't require a top-notch presentation we just run the laser jet.
