be careful with Frye's though...I know people who've bought parts, components, etc, from them that were
remanufactured, though not marked as such.

Look at running costs too (cartridge prices).
The C62 is currently selling for about £50 in UK, so about $75, and I can get cartridges (not epson originals) for about £4-5 each ($6-8). You will get better quality with the C82, about £85 ($125), cartridge prices are about the same, but each colour has it's own cartridge so running costs are slightly higher, but not much.
Compare that with HP printers, you will find that comparable printers are about the same price, but the cartridges cost a fortune, because the print head is part of the cartridge.
You can also get a small device to reset the chip on epson carts (cost about $25), which means you can refill your own carts, and that reduces running costs dramatically.
Edit: Look in this thread for details of good hardware suppliers.
Really it depends. What type of computer do you have? A laptop? A desktop?
I'm finally just about decided on a Canon s820...they're kinda old now, so you can get em on the cheap.
Good quality photo printer
I have a custom build 1.5 Megahertz, 256 RAM, 18 gig harddrive (LOL SO SMALL), and i dun thin k this matters but a 15 inch LCD. BTW if u haven't noticed its a desktop.......Quote:

Wait wtf how come used AND refurbished are the SAME EXACT PRICE?
refurbished means someone has had it before and the factory has restored it back to near the original conditionQuote:

it's basically second-hand but in very good condition
I wouldn't buy refurbished printer. New ones last 18-24 months maybe. How longs a refurbished printer going to last?
Thanks lynx. Just ordered a Epson C62 from newegg. $62 delivered otd. Cartridges online $7 black & $9 tricolor.
Found another place where I get 2 black & 2 color cartridges for my Epson C62 delivered otd $17. Inkjets99 is the place off of PriceGrabber.com. Wow 4 fn cartridges for $17. I'm thankful this thread popped up. :)
