Hi
Need an a4 printer b/w or colour but not laser as my inverter doesnt support. Need a budgeted and pocket friendly for very low volume prints.
If wifi, it would be great.
 
The model ip2870s the catridge cost for both b/w and colour comes to 1400, am i checking it right.

Any model with wifi option.
 
All the cheapest ink jet printers have ink cartridges that cost 500+ per cartridge. And the ink dries up in a year. So in 3 years or so you end up paying cost of printer for ink. If you want long lasting ink, get a b/w laser printer. The toner will last long. It's just powder so it won't dry up like ink.

CISS? printers from brother and aftermarket kits are like 600
 
Yup, a good CISS kit will save a lot of money compared to buying original ink. Get good quality inks. If inks are bad, the cartridge head will get clogged up and wont work.

Ricoh Black and White laser printers are also a good option as Ricoh sells original Toner Refill at around 600 rupees.

I already have a laser printer, the problem is that it doesnt work in inverter in absence of electricity. So looking for ink tank printer with wifi.
