We have an Epson Stylus Photo Printer

It is a great printer but the ink cartridges can be a bit expensive.

Aunty Sue said...: Just dont buy a kodak the ink might be cheap but the red is not a true colour and when the colour runs out you cant use the black and also using black only does actually use some colour. Good luck be interested to see what is recommended I loved my epson and did use compatable and it was great; 7 March 2013 at 20:28

Anne said...: Christine I bought an HP Photosmart Premium C310 series 18 months ago from Staples and I'm very pleased with it.
I went with very specific requirements and it meets all of them. I need to print 300gsm card, have individual inks (it takes 5) and also need a scanner and photocopier. It is also wireless so can be used by both my Husband and I from wherever we are with our laptops.

It is now out of it's guarantee and I'm now using compatible inks with no problems.

I also took out Staples extended warranty which covers 2 years after the HP one runs out and is not affected by compatible inks.

I hope this helps.

Christine L said...: Just seen this Christine... and am afraid I can't help... I have always used Epson, as I think their ink colours are the true-est... At the mo, I have an SX215.. It takes 280gsm with some gentle help!

Let me know what you end up with!
