you got to look at cost of ink, we have used leximark and like wanttoheal said its cheaper to replace the printer than hthe ink, we had a hp printer which was god again ink was an average price but i couldnt find ink cheap, so we ended up back on the epson we must of gone through several epsoms the ink can be bought cheaper here down to as little as £2 a cartridge for the basic printer i only pay £about 20 for the four idivual carrtridges for the all in one printer normal price for epsiom ink is about £35

ink can be bought cheap online and you can look around for cheaper alternatives to the brand make of ink saving money quality i find just as good and we use it for photos
