Sub-£40 photo printer
 
Right - looking for a photo printer under £40...

Possibly with a card reader (SD) built in - any ideas?

wont find 1 for that price with SD for sure. or if you do it'll be something of lexmark so that means that you get scre*ed on ink

HP are rethinking their cartridge pricing as well...

Quote:
Pradeep Jotwani, senior vice president of HP's Supplies, Imaging And Printing group, told vnunet.com that the move aims to bridge the gap between light and heavy users.
Light users, explained Jotwani, use their printers only once or twice a week and are more concerned with the cost of each cartridge than with the number of pages that a cartridge yields. More frequent users focus on the number of pages per cartridge.
The previous system compromised between heavy and light users. HP hopes that its new move will appease both groups.
HP has been rolling out the new cartridges since February, but has only just officially committed to moving its entire inkjet line to the new system.
"We are fundamentally revamping our inkjet cartridge portfolio in a way that provides more choice and much greater value, and simplifies the shopping experience for our customers," Jotwani declared.

Dyas are doing the Lexmark P450 photoprinter with built in CD burner, card reader and colour LCD screen for £49.95.

Yeah the ink is pricey but I've always refilled mine.

Cartridges are about £12-15

I've got one of these - does what it says on the tin, although they only supply a colour & photo cartridge - if you want a dedicated black cartridge it is extra.

Thanks for the heads-up Delta and the comments homealone...

The printer is not actually for me, it for my partners friend - not sure what she decided on!
