IRD are very kindly giving us a little bit of tax back this year, our HP printer has died so time for a new one. We are looking for a new colour printer for about $100. We like the idea of the Canon Pixma as it photocopies and scans also but not sure if it only accepts canon cartridges, and not sure what other brands are out there that are similar. Which printer would you recommend? Its just for home use, would be nice if it prints photos. Thanks.
i'd like to be able to print decent photos, they don't need to be high quality, as well as text documents. i'm not sure what i'd scan but since some of these printers do have scanners it could be useful.
Yes, you can use non-branded ink. Just remember if you are printing photos etc, the non-branded ones may lack the quality. Sometimes I find the non-branded ones run out faster too.
Any model within Canon and Brother is fine really. Make sure you ask whether the printer can run even though one colour is empty - I find it annoying when some printers as you to put in a full tank of red when I only want to print black, haha.
