I've seen printers and 3-in-1 machines at really low prices recently. Then I checked the cost of inks and toner... and walked off in disgust.

Mine are expensive BUT they last a very long time. It's been 8 months since I changed them on my Brother scanner and printer.

Certainly beats the pants off Epsons.

You should count how long the cartridges last in that equation.

Colour laser printer toner lasts ages (1000+ pages). I've had one for 8 years and not needed to change them yet (but then I'm not an overly frequent printer). Toner packs can be had cheaply on ebay or amazon as well. I can get all 4 of mine in a kit for £20 on amazon.

I think some tend to offer their printers cheap and then make their money on the cartridges.

It's a bit like what Sky did with their set top boxes, they offered them cheap or free in the knowledge that they'd make more on the ongoing subscriptions.

I have the epson ET-2550 printer that has a ink tank on the side of it...newer models are out now that are more compact but it prints around 4000 colour and 4000 black and around £25 to replace all the inks. but I don't think it does duplex printing

You can find variants here https://www.bestadvisers.co.uk/inkjet-printers. I bought Epson XP 850 and satisfied. It uses inks realy carefully and safe. Also, as for my copying is a plus.
