Digital BW, The Print

I love having individual tanks. You will also have very inexpensive
third-party tanks to choose from, if you are willing to experiment.
Just so you are aware, the downside of the tank system, which is
mostly used by Epson and Canon, is that you are not replacing the
printhead when you change cartridges, as you would be with a typical
HP or Lexmark. Clogging hasn't been a problem for me (Canon) or anyone
I know (Canon and Epson). I like to make a full color print at least
once a week, just to be safe. You can buy replacement heads for Canons.

Among the great deals at Epson's online store is the CX4800 for $129
w/ free shipping, before a $30 mail-in rebate and $20 Amex gift card.
So no need to skimp on dinner!

You could step down to a CX3800 for $80 + shipping - $25 rebate. Or
step up to six-color printing with a refurbished RX500 (in the
Clearance section) for $129 shipped - $50 rebate.

I can't comment on the CX series, but I spent some time with a RX600,
which is like an RX500 but with a color preview screen. The scanner
did a great job with printed photos, slides, and negatives; the photo
restoration feature worked well; and I though the color output was
brilliant. It uses the same inks as the R200 and R300 printers. It can
do many things without the computer being turned on or connected.
Minuses are a flimsy-looking paper feed tray that is also open to
dust, hugeness, and slowness compared to comparable HPs or Canons,
though I think it beats them on quality of scans and prints.

& canon, I"m thinking about getting the Epson Epson Stylus CX4350,
CX4200 or the CX4800 (which I'm leaning toward the most).  The 4800 is
a little more than what I"m looking to spend, but it has borderless
printing aside from (and I didn't know this about epsons before), if I
run out of ink, I can replace individual cartridges instead of the
whole thing.
