Whats the best printer to buy for home use, currently have Lexmark X1190 & its....?

I tried HP printers but the ink cost a small fortune. I would suggest any Epsom printer as they are relaible and the ink is not bad if bought online.

that's how lexmark make their money, by inks as their printers are so cheap, best one to buy would be epson, inks are separate, so your saving money and are around £25 for multipacks

Kodak just came out with a new line of incredibly cheap home use printer with get this low cost cartridges. They have a cost per page just a little more than half that of HP. See if those are available where you are. They just came out so it may not be an option. However Canon, a printer that takes a PG-40 black cartridge and CL-41 color cartridges would be you next best option.

Canon tend to have separate ink tanks, which can cost as little as £6 each but the only real way to save on printer ink costs is to buy an ink refill kit and refill the cartridge yourself. For your Lexmark, the kit may put you back about £10 and will refill your cartridges maybe 3 or 4 times.

have you tried a refill kit? I know they say you cant refill these cartridges but that's to encourage you to buy branded ones. Lexmark have a tiny print head as part of the cartridge which helps with the excellent quality they produce and also puts up the price. you can however refill them at a fraction of the price and still get good results after two or three refills.
