need a new printer

[BIG-HOL]

hi guys im after a new printer to print out some christmas cards and for general use, never actually bought a printer before so have no clue what im even looking for. needs to be pretty cheap nomore than 50 or 60 pounds, ink cartridges need to be cheap too and be readily available almost anywhere.

whats the best i'll get for my money and will the quality of print be good too, im hoping they've moved on abit from the 1st family printer we had which was in all honesty, crap!

all help or guidance appreciated!

ohhhh and id also like wireless printing!

Thats the one I recently bought m8 and its the mutts nuts ,

If you don't mind spending a little more then a colour laser will give much better results on normal prints. Photo's will always be better on an inkjet.

This is £133 delivered with 2 full sets of toners, and extra toners are around £25 per set from their ebay store. You get around 2500 pages from 1 set. It actually works out cheaper per page than an inkjet.

my local hardware refills any ink cartridges for 12 euro each, you will probably find somewhere near you if you look

cheers everyone, that epson looks just up my street, looks a really good printer for the money and for what im after, and cheers wiz for the link to them ink cartridges as that has sealed the deal, had always heard printers are cheap but the cartridges arent so i was abit hesitant to jump in without knowing, but i cant complain at them prices!

the printer should come with a little sample pack of paper
