I want to buy a cheap inkjet printer and need help
Anyone here have any suggestions for an inexpensive ink jet? I am leaning towards Canon because I had good luck with them back when I owned a Stylewriter II back in the day.
I am looking to spend less than $100. It is a secondary printer because my HP 2100 does all the heavy lifting. It will likely just be used for small amounts of color printing.
My concerns....
1) I am notoriously cheap. I would likely buy a printer with cheap refills or even buy a refill kit to cut down the per page cost.
2) Some companies (HP and Epson I have heard claimed) are putting chips in the their print cartridges that cannot be refilled. I do not know which brands of what it applies to though.
3) I don't want the printer to be huge and take up a lot of space.
Any suggestions or recommendations out there?

great quality, individual ink cartridge replacement, low ink usage.

It's a great little inkjet. I print off gradient-heavy Illustrator work on it and it's SO smooth: no banding, no stripes or jitters, etc.. Photos look awesome too.
