if you want cheap ink just get those old LX models that are still around
or get canon since they are cheaper OR HP and just get refillable ink (i dont know if they have that over there but in the PHilippines there is [img]smile.gif[/img] ).
and I would recommend you getting a multiprinter instead of getting a printer, just get the HP1000+ (i forgot the model) but its around 129 US dollars and you get scanner and a printlike xerox machine (since its a multiprinter). and the printing quality is good as well (with color of course)
