Let me give you a tip as a computer tech that I give to my freinds. If a printer is cheap or free=expensive ink. Don't use those printers. If you are sticking with inkjets, be sure you get the kind with 4 ink cartridges. one black and 3 seperate colors. they last longer, cheaper to replace the color you use the most and the replacement are much cheaper. Also before buying a printer, do a google search or look in store for how much are the replacements. If the replacement colors are 10 bucks, then you are in a good shape as online ink suppliers tends to be 2-5 dollars less. Ordering online ahead of time saves you ,money, but if needed, it won't hurt the bank to buy in store locally. I have used the refill kits myself and found that they do work, but its much more hassle then its worth. Also the color refills, they tend not to be exact same color as you remember in shades. Black ink refills are fine, but If you refill too many times, the cartridge tends to "wear out" and cause a mess in the printers. Like I said stay away from refill kits- for the price to buy online and refill kits you will end up the same pricewise/hassles.
So the moral to story is get color printers with more then 2 cartridges and buy online ahead of time, they are cheap.
