OK, sorry in advance, I know this has been done to death in the past, just looking for an up to date view.......

My last one (Epson Stylus Photo something) has just died!

Any recomendations on a decent one, to print up to A4, that is cheap to run if possible, that can if needed, use none branded ink?

Wifi would be nice too.

Is there one worth looking at around the £50-£100?

Ta.

TechRadar have a recent roundup of inkjets, at least 3 of which are on offer at [my local] Tesco at the moment. I'll probably be buying the Lexmark one they mention (£70), although £100 should get you a better photo printer, maybe from Amazon or similar.

Only issue is it's expensive to run - the Epson was fairly cheap IIRC.

[url= http://www.cityinkexpress.co.uk/ ]These guys[/url] sell a reliable ciss system with decent inks which for around £40 cut the cost of ink for our Canon by an almost unbelievable amount- I wouldn't consider buying an inkjet now without installing a continuous ink system.

I use a Canon IP something or other and it suits me fine. I'm only an amateur though and generally print stuff as favours or if i'm feeling particularly pleased with my photography prowess...

Go and have a look in a WHSmith's, just passed one in Glasgow with an HP Wireless deskjet (no idea of model) for £40. Think it said down from £70 but didn't pay much attention.
