Cas is that a cannon?

If so and talking multi printers that can do photos also is a lil hard to just pick out.

Me self I like them under 60 bucks which is not many these days which is some for like 40 bucks but ink cost like 40 bucks its best to buy a new machine versus ink for one. I think epsons have the cheapest ink but the machines cost more.

hp and lexmark are normally same machines and ink cost a lot and the machines not cheap either. I am not sure about kodaks but I know I am afraid of them I had a kodak cam and its software was a bite it wanted to run 24/7 and at system start up and was no way to stop it from running at start up and would jam up my computer- or I was new to computers back then and did not or I guess now I could have stopped it in windows or use spybot or something to stop it at system start- but it pissed me off I trashed the cam and said I will never mess with kodak stuff again. I hate soft ware that dose such things.

So if I had to shop brands epson and cannon would be what id look for and Ive seen some cannons for 40 bucks and good ratings etc. Unless folks know of some place to buy ink cheap. It might be best to buy a new machine versus 40 bucks for ink for it- but then to the printers might not be as cheap then- so ink might be better for it..

I read good stuff about the kodaks- I want nothing to do with them tho. Said they came out with some new ink and cost less maybe- but best I know epsons have the less cost ink of them all or did any way.. Most all printers today can do good photos if you have the right paper for them..

Last "all in one" I had was an Epson. Was cheap, but, ink isn't. And for photos you will need Epson ink and paper, otherwise quality is crap. The software is easy to use, tho. Problem is, if you don't use it all the time, the ink jets will clog. Now I have an HP photo printer (no scanner) Photo Smart 7760, older model but it works great. Saw it at a yard sale for $10, no ink tho. HP's have the ink jets in the cartridge so the don't clog like an Epson. HP software is about as easy as Epson. If I can use it, anyone can. :thumbsup:
