photoStudent again, professional singer and Madame Arcati all in one, juggling fascinating outer and inner lives, half a team with the lovely John who is a true source of joy. Would love to meet friends to join me (or us) on country walks, Saturday brunches at home and unconventional outings. Humour, tease-ability and depth a must, fear of change a distinct disadvantage. Affirming messages and shameless flattery always welcome.

I went to get a new cartridge (again - grr) for my Lexmark all-in-1 machine (X6100). Well, I went to get the colour cartridge re-filled, but because I'd let one colour run out and kept using it, the head was no good.
New cartridge: £30!!! I didn't buy one.

I'm not prepared to carry on like this - it was quite a cheap machine and works ok, but the cost of cartridges is insane.
For £95 I can buy a Canon with a separate cartridge for each colour that does all the same jobs - each colour cartridge costs £5 to re-fill. But is it the best choice of machine?
The other possibility with separate colour cartridges that I saw was a Brother, but I'm off American machines today... And I don't want another HP as the last Deskjet was a bottom-loader and the paper feed died prematurely.

What are your recommendations for a good-value, affordable-to-run colour inkjet print/copy/scan combo, for moderate B&W use and light colour use?

I have a Canon SmartBase MP3600 (print/copy/scanner) and it is great. I really like Canon printers and this one has done a sterling job over the years - I printed the god knows how many drafts of my thesis on it (probably well over 2000 pages all told!). It also does pretty good photo prints.

So yes I'd strongly recommend a Canon.

I have a Canon Pixma MP610.

Great machine, fab for all stuff and cartridges are only 8.95 ech to replace - and only need to replace individual colours when they run out rather than the whole lot.

That looks like the up-to-date version of what I have. I'd go for it TBH.
