Sorry if this is the wrong forum, looking for some advice on a home office printer.

Needs to be wireless capable

Only needs to print A4 but will be printing both documents and a lot of photos - photo quality is important

Reasonable ongoing costs for ink

Be able to scan as well

I have tried looking online for reviews but most of the printers are not available here or sold out such as the Pixma TS9160.

I really only want to spend up to $200.

Any advice would be appreciated

I know it is a little more price wise but consider looking into an Epson Ecotank printer. Like this one from Harvey Norman: Link.

Consider it this way - ink for printers is normally very expensive and laser is not that good for photos. The printer comes out of the box with 2 years worth of ink and I have indeed verified this (as my ecotank printer is over 2 years old now and have only used half of the included ink that came with it). It has been reliable, and has impressive print quality.

My partner does quite a bit of digital art and we print it on photo paper + frame it. Prints always come out well and has been an excellent unit. Ink refills are also incredibly cheap if you ever need them that is :)

Thanks for all the replies - im going to up the budget and get the Epson eco tank, seems to be the best compromise. Thanks for all the help!
