guys what good, decent printers do you suggest for home use..
essentails:
under £80
Usb 1
colour
mainly used of documents & spreadsheets an the occasional photo.
I have always favoured Epson printers. You can get the C84 for about £60 I think or maybe the next few models up to reach your £80 limit.
Very cheap cartridges, but Epson's do have a problem with the cartridges if they are not used often.

Epson R300 at Currys at £80 delivered I believe (think you need a discount voucher - DCBYAW)

Hi
I currently have a Canon i355 bubble jet printer, if you are not to bothered about noise a print speed try one of these or the next models up, it cost me £50 (cheaper on the net) and you can get the cartridges for about £ 1.50 black and £ 2.00 colour.

In that case dont go for a dedicted photo printer at that sort of budget....http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=63080
Epson C66 i think is probably ideal mate

I got a good deal on an Epson C86 Photo edition this weekend from Staples.
They offer a 150% price match! Currys have the C86 (non photo edition) for £70, Staples sell the photo edition for £90. The gave me the price match, so I got the photo edition for £60. (cheaper than anywhere on the net)
Photo edition is exactly the same as the normal except they through in a USB 6 in 1 card reader.
