Another solid option for a tank-based printer is this HP Smart Tank 7301, which has slightly faster print speeds than the Epson version, with up to 12ppm for black and white printing and up to 7ppm for colored print. It has a similar 1200 x 1200 scan resolution and a 600 DPI copy resolution, so it’s about standard for what you’d expect in this price range. Also, HP’s included inks should last you up to 8,000 colored pages and 6,000 black pages which is quite a lot considering most printing at home probably won’t reach that in a few years.

Another great option from Canon is the PIXMA TS6420a, a budget-oriented printer that’s surprisingly fast and can do up to 13 monochrome images per minute.

It’s easy to set up, and photo prints aren’t too bad, although the bigger issue is that the ink is quite expensive, so the upfront savings end up being paid down the line when you have to grab yourself some ink.
