    Dude - I'm not sure what a good A4 printer goes for these days, but £100 sounds cheap to me, like one of those ones with single multi-colour ink refills. Personally, I'd always spend as much as I can afford on the printer, and get one that allows individual ink cartridges.. they also tend to be the ones with 'better ink' and print quality.

    As for seling them, some test I saw last year showed that Epsons had the 'best' overall ink cheapness and light fastedness (if that's even the right term), so go for whatever you can afford on that brand.

    A good thing to do would be to cost up a year's worth of ink replacements (making assumptions about not using all colour X in a multi-ink cartridge, of course) and see how that compares between a cheap printer and a not-so one.
