PC Peripherals best AIO in 3-4k

[leo_club]

Alright guys finally i am ready to get one

so please suggest a good AIO printer in 3-4k

don't need fax but i won't mind it sitting with the rest of the stuff if it comes in that price

need to be average to decent for scanning and b/w printing
color would be used sparingly so not that much of an issue though i would like to have that option
catridges should be easy to refill

Need to buy this in a day or 2

Thanks in advance
Leo

HP F4288 !!!

Easy to refill HP cartridges...

Also check out the Epson Stylus TX101

Cartridges are very cheap.

Not much as far as specs go...
The F4288 being a replacement for the old one.

but the f4185 can be used to scan and make copies without a pc while with the f4288 a pc is a must.
r there any other differences

Have you personally tried this or know someone who has?
Do the refilled cartridges give the same quality and productivity as the original?
If not, how much lower?
What is the approximate cost per page with original and refilled cartridges?
How many times can a cartrideg be refilled?

Do you have some figures on cost?
Cost of cartridges, cost per page, etc.?

1. I got to know from a few HP AIO users...

Moreover,they don't have a chip-like thing on their cartridge(unlike Canon) so it is easier to refill and use.

Quality is not always guaranteed when using refilled cartridges.

Not sure about the refill prices as they vary from place to place.If you choose to do so(would recommend you buy an original),then make sure you go to a reputed cartridge refilling shop !

Original Cartridges:

Colour ~ .9 - 1k

B&W ~ .7 - .8k

2. EPSON's usp are the individual ink cartridges(Black,Cyan,Magenta & Yellow).So you only replace what you need ! Again I'm not quite sure bout the prices but definitely lesser than standard ink cartridges.

Hope this was of some help.
