If you're looking for a colour printer for a small business/home office and you've got a bit of desk space to play with this seems like a crazy price when you combine with HP's cashback promotion!

How much are the refills ? As much as the printer ?
I'll buy the printer and let you buy my cartridges for £200, ou save £100, I make £130, happy days!

I stick with Canon printers myself as the ink costs very little & is easy to obtain by the bucket load on Ebay. I had one HP years ago but never used it once the ink ran out as I didn't want to pay a fortune to buy the ink.....This deal is effectively a one shot printer as the majority will NEVER refill it. Now £69.99 to print 100 or so pages is no bargain. it's one of those things that appear to be the most fantastic deals in the history of the world but it's a trojan horse that will eat away your hard earned money. Just sayin'

ehm, £60 per each colour + black, so probably £240 to start with, it does not come with toner...LOL
i agree this is a lot of printer for the money. Lots of ink included in the starter cartridges, enough for 1500 colour pages. If you're doing lots of colour prints this is a terrific buy.
ink is available, but it's not easy to refill.

Title should read- "This is a lot of money for the printer ink's".

It would be cheaper to print the title if you removed the extraneous apostrophe.

32 pounds for a cartridge. Cold for me. Bought the epson wf2510 yesterday as ink is so cheap 12 pounds for 6 sets.

Epson for the win! HP tend to always be mega money for the ink cartridges from my findings...

Please tell me u are joking. I assume your referring to Epsons which do a cleaning cycle every couple of prints, clog up at the earliest opportunity and point blank REFUSE to print if the cartridge chip tells the printer it's empty (even though it's not) Never again will I buy epsons after being a dedicated Epson user over 3 generations of printer.

All 3 generations had the same problems?

1) Epson Stylus Colour 400/440 (First ever Printer). Thankfully no chip, but frequent cleaning cycles, and blocked nozzles and lines in printouts. 2) Epson Stylus C62. Chipped cartridges, also suffered exact same issues. 3) Epson stylus R300. As above - (printer failed completely after a mere 14 months and that was the final straw)
Then switched to a Canon ip6700D and what a difference! Infrequent clean cycles, nozzle blockages are extremely rare. Replaced with Canon MG6450, Again, very good printer, which sadly died on me a month ago and wont turn on (probably PSU failure).
Just bought a HP Officejet 7612 A3 printer and so far so good. Would probably have gone for this deal if it had been around at the time. WIll go back to Canon if things go pear shaped i reckon

I wouldn't buy an HP then, if my experience is anything to go by...

I had a similar problem with my Epson WF2650 using both original and compatible inks,But now use refillable cartridges and no longer have endless cleaning cycles and the resetting is no more than pulling the "empty" one out and putting it back in,check out ink-girl on Ebay £20 for 4 refillable cartridges and 400ml of ink

3 generations of printer! So about 12 months worth. If you go by the buy a new printer when the ink runs out theory.
118luke to Oneday77
5 Sep 17#37
Tell me how you come to the conclusion thats 12 months worth? Do u even know the sales dates of those printers? It's more like nearly a decade. First printer came out circa 1995/6. 2nd about 1999 3rd about 2003/4. The canon ip6700D (now donated to my grandparents) is now over 10 years old and has outlived and outperformed every epson i've had.

I guess your not familiar with the running joke about but an new printer is cheaper than new ink?

Ah okay - yes that makes a bit more sense now lol.

My 6+ year old R360 is still going very strong on compatible inks...
And the office WF-3620DWF All in One is equally still going strong after 2 years...
So that's my experience with them...

The most expensive liquid on the planet used to be Bull Sperm. Now its inkjet ink.
My advise Buy a laser.
rev6 to whydoiwastemytimehere

Or buy an Inkjet printer that has cheap compatiple ink.

You mean, like this one? I tracked down compatible ink at Inkowl.com, but it's probably available from a UK firm, too.

Epson WorkForce seem pretty decent.

Until you don't use them for a couple of weeks and the nozzles clog up, and are impossible to unblock, thus writing off your printer.
Happened to me. :persevere:
