Thank you
I now have a much better awareness of the vast array of stuff on offer.
I'm not in the market for professional quality prints and I don't need high volumes either - basically what I want is a reasonable quality domestic printer that is not costing it's price in ink every time I print a couple of photos at A4 - as many of you have pointed out - a surprisingly tall order!
Thanks for all the good advice

I've heard that great minds think alike. Like you I have a Pro-100 and Brother Laser. Also have an ancient in terms of printers a Canon iP6620 which is a genuine workhorse and produces sharp text and beautiful photos. I've been refilling for years and use only Precision Colors Ink. The nice thing about PC ink is that it's a premium quality product, but is priced very competively with lesser quality brands.

I'm still using my HP 11c daily; I hope it never dies. I use Canon printers though.

My HP printer that I bought about 10 years ago is proving too expensive in terms of ink - and also is not working very well with colour photos.
what would people recommend - I use it for word documents and printing photos in colour, I was happy with the print quality of my old HP (c4480), but shelling out the price I paid for the printer each time I need a new colour cartridge seems a bit steep!

I print my photos at Costco or a lab and use my printer for everything else. I print a LOT and have had a Canon G3200 Megatank printer for about 2 1/2 years. The ink tanks are refillable and the ink is about the same price as a cartridge, but the bottles have about 10x as much as a normal cartridge. My printer paid for itself in about a year (I used to spend about $300 per year on ink cartridges for my Canon Pixma, 9500 I think). You get about 6,000 pages of text from a black ink bottle that costs $17.99. It only uses 3 colors and each is $11.99 and a set is supposed to be good for about 7,000 pages of color text.
