Any printer with cheap inks?
Is there any printer that is not too expensive and the inks don't cost a lot, I just need it for printing. I used to have a cannon printer for which there is 20 inks from eBay for £20 but it stopped working after some years but that one is no longer sold I think as I couldn't find it. I bought a hp printer but the inks are too expensive.
Edit: just need it for adhoc printing every now and then

sorted byThe Epson XP2205 I have allows cartridge chip bypass via Epson's own software and a set of refillable cartridges for the Epson 604-based printers costs 10 USD. Not only does it allow the same benefits as an eco tank printer but at a lower price point. Any printer sold in the EU has to have the option of disabling the cartridge vendor lock-in so this is possible with pretty much any recent consumer inkjet printer.
Other option is this mono laser printer from brother

5 different inks (inc photo black) and the ink doesn't dry up too quickly ...inks about £1 or less on ebay
Used to be about £60 new but now people are asking up to £150 on ebay...
Most cheap printers now are all 3 colour combined cartridges ....1 runs out and you have to waste whats left. Not exactly planet friendly....
I picked up a Brother from Argos on sale, they give an eco ink trial for 4 months but I'm just gonna buy the toner once it's ran out cba with subscription. About £50 for like 1200 pages. And toner doesn't dry out like inkjets
Didn't bother with scanner either as can "scan" on phone and print direct. (edited)
