I replaced my old Lexmark printer because of the scanning and photocopying features on this model, I paid £50 at the time (with black ink supplied) I suspect it must be a little cheaper now,

I have found this printer to be easy to use can work offline simply switch it on and its functions as a normal copier (no more trips to the post office to get my documents photocopied, quality is very good and printing is fast too),
Printing photos is a breeze I’m using XEROX photo paper high gloss 180 g/m2 and the prints are just as good as you get in "Boots"
There are additional slots for SD MMC MS and USB so printing from your devices is simply plug in and follow the LCD display,

The Black ink cartridge you need is PG-40 £17.99 and for colour is CL-41 (£19.99 Wilkinson’s last time I checked)
I’m using Tesco own brand C113 (Black) £13.83 and C123 (colour) £16.01
Be careful with own brands they are usually refilled and half yield so not quite as full as the original ones, if you don’t use them frequently then go for cheaper brands.

Overall the thing I am most impressive with is the reliability I had a few paper jams no problems there, ink colour running out which require you to press and hold the red button if you want it to continue printing in black and white (which I discovered from the instruction booklet)
