    another vote for canon. Mine is an s200, cheap as chips but works ok and the ink is uberubercheap from ebuyer and lasts a reasonably long time too

    If you get a canon dont get a BCI-24 based or other dirt cheap cart as they in actual
    fact dont work out cheaper then others. I have to change them all the time.
    Cheap ink isnt as good as canon branded either. If you get a canon go for the slightly
    better one you will get 3 times the amount of prints for a cart.

    I've had experience of numerous Epson, HP & Canon printers over the years. TBH, any printer for £50 or less is well and truly 'budget', and all will have their issues - built quality, head quality, paper feed issues etc etc etc..

    IMHO, whilst Canon offer the best output quality, and Epson the best speed, HP are the best all-rounders and thier on-site warranty program is admirable too.. (even if their idea of a 'Photo printer' is a joke'..)
