Looking for a cheap colour printer with cheap generic ink refills. I use the printer maybe 2 times a month but would still like decent print quality. Not looking to spend more than $100 on a printer. Any recommendations?
Cheap Ink Printer That Has Cheap Generic Ink Refills

Inkjet printer are kind of like 1 ply toilet paper. You buy it once to save money, but realise you need to use twice as much to get the same outcome. And it's fiddy to dispense. A poor experience from every angle.
So you move to laser, complain once about the price, but printing no longer becomes an issue in your life.
Id say just buy a laser printer, the toner (ink) will last much longer. yes the colour one will cost more upfront but in the long run it's worth it.
What about the new "ink tank" inkjet printers? i wonder how they compare.
For the marginal extra cost (say $110 on Amazon) go for a Brother laser printer. For the extra layout at the start, you'll save a fortune in ink.
I bought one when at uni and it was greatWhich Brother laser printer did you get?
Seems they are all mono printers for that price point
Inkjet printers usually require regular use or you run the risk of the inks drying out. A budget Brother laser printer as suggested (around$110-) is monochrome only & without a scanner. The Brother multi-function laser may be a better investment long term?
A laser with cheap refills would be your best bet for $100.
The Epson Ecotank is what we own. Extremely economical. But the upfront cost is a minimum $400.
Officeworks does the super cheap HP all-in-one printers every so often and picked up the HP 3630 for $18 few months ago.
They come with sample inks and same as yourself, only really print out returns labels couple times a month and use the scanner which is great.
