Father Christmas is going to bring me a printer (or, rather, cash to use 
when buying one).

I have managed two years without one on my PC, so, as you can deduce, 
won't be using it heavily when I do have one.

I will mainly be producing b&w text prints; the ability to make the 
occasional colour print would be a bonus. Photographic quality is not 
required, but wouldn't be refused.

It is important that the printer can handle labels and envelopes.

It must have easily available refills; not excessively over-priced.

Any suggestions, or tips?

Dixons currently have a Lexmark Z13 colour inkjet at half price, GBP 
24.99, on their website. It seems to compare well to printers of more 
than twice that price, in terms of speed and dpi (the latter being 
1200x1200).

My budget is higher than that, but I can always spend it on something 
else! How does the Lexmark perform? Is 1200x1200 capable of producing 
readable and presentable letters?

I understand that the Z12 can have either black, or three-colour- ink 
loaded, but not both at the same time. Is that drawback also true of the 
Z13?


OTOH, a colleague has recommended a Cannon S400, which has different 
refills for each colour; that appeals from both a miserly and 
environmentally- friendly PoV!
