I need a new one. I have only had HP printers but I can’t stand paying more for ink than the printer is worth. Are the epson,lexmark,canon,etc… printers any good? ---

we just got an epson 8400 stylus for free when she got her new nikon $199 the printer itself is like 50-75 at best buy. prints really nice. when time comes for new ink its like 13bucks a peice but you have to get blue/red/yellow/black cartridges and you can get photo paper for 9.99 if you decide to get one at best buy then PM me your receipt number so i can get reward zone points if you dont have an account 😉 ---

They have like 7 cartridges each about 8 bucks. From personal experience I wouldn’t buy a lexmark or epson. I agree… ive had both epson and lexmark printers, and they sucked compared to my HP, yeah the ink is a little more expensive, but id rather pay a few more dollars for better quality. ---

after owning every brand printer except shitmark(lexmark) and selling just about every brand that there is i will say go with epson…i love the way their printers are made…and the multiple inks…which you will find in some hp printers(mind you they followed suite) are really nice…tri-color printers SUCK…individual cartridges allow for cheaper costs in the long run and better photo printing quality.
