Hello,
Ive never bought a printer before and I know next to nothing about them. I have around 200 to spend and will be mainly using it to print documents and colour pictures (not photos). If it can print quality photos that would be good too. Im not sure if its possible but if it can print on card that would be advantageous as well. Id also like something that is not going to annihilate the ink. It needs to be cost effective but doesnt compromise quality too much. This will be a printer for home usage so it wont need to be churning out vast amounts of documents and may go a few days/weeks without printing anything at all.
Need:
1. Good quality documents
2. Good quality images
3. Cost effective ink usage
Would like:
1. Being able to print on card
2. Can produce decent quality photographs
3. Scanner/copier.
All this for around 200 would be awesome. I had been looking at Cannon printer which seemed to tick all the boxes apart from it ate ink at an alarming rate, so that scared me right away. I am using a PC with windows Vista if that information is needed.
Thank you for your help.
