Printer that takes cheap ink cartridge

[angel nee nee]

Looking for a way to print cheaper..... And I'm considering purchasing a new printer to save money.

Looking for something that takes cheap ink cartridge /toner

wireless (important)

scanning and copy capability (important)

Perferablly something that holds lots of paper, but not as important as ink cost

Preferablly something that can do automatic double sided printing, but not as important

Do you have any recommendation? Thanks.

This printer is wireless and only prints in black. If you watch I got my printer for $54 dollars. So, if you are willing to wait you might find a great deal on it.

Thanks. Looks good...! But the cost of the ink is not too much?

Get a laser printer! I bought a cheapy at Staples and print like a mad woman between recipes and homeschool. Then you only buy toner. It is more when you first buy it but WAY cheaper for lots of printer. Ink Jet sucks!

tell me how laser can help me save money. I really do not know anything about it. How does it work?

OEM - that is, brand name - ink cartridges for most printers (for example, our HP 6130 Officejet and our Epson R300) are unbelievably priced (like $20-$30 per cartridge).

Just buy the generic refilled cartridges off eBay. You can get them from anywhere between $3 and $6 each, often including shipping! I always buy ink cartridges this way. Just type in the model # of the printer you're using and you'll get a ton of results. Buy from a reputable seller and you can't go wrong.

I tired but.... my HP printer is so smart that it does not take the generic rilled cartridges. Don't like it. Printer itself is really great. But ink cost is pricy.

I need help in this department too, my HP printer's cartridges are around $20 each (on sale!).

This is the same one I have. I researched the cheapest way to print for a month and decide on this one. Waited two more months for it to go on sale for $54 on Amazon. The started cartridge that comes with it lasted my family a year with very, very frequent printing.

I bought a new Toner recently and iirc it was around $50. I expect it to last two years.

You have to shop well for the generic cartridges. On eBay, read the description carefully. If they list YOUR model there as being guaranteed to accept the cartridge they are offering (and if they have lots of good feedback), buy it. If it doesn't work, they will refund you the money - generally without requiring you to ship it back. I'm speaking from a certain amount of experience. We have two printers and do quite a bit of printing.
