I think all epson printers are of amazig quality and this one is a very reliable printer.

The catridges are cheap and you can buy similar epson ink which is cheaper.

Canon Pixma gives very good photos and you can get the refills much cheaper than others. I pay about $3 apiece from an ebay site. been using them for years with no problems. I got disgusted with seeing $20 - $30 for refills. For replacing them, you could buy another printer.

Another vote for the Pixma! A lot of this has been discussed in this thread:

I'm partial to HP printers, depending on the model.

I am looking for a good printer. I am leaning toward an HP Printer/Scanner for digital pictures. Is this a good choice?

The HP4215(printer.copier,scanner & fax) is very reliable and reasonably priced.
Havn't had a problem with mine whatsoever.

HP and Epson are typically the best on the printer market and certain Canons as a very good alternative, at the current time in the inkjet market (not the laser...). With HP, you'd need to spend AT LEAST $100 to get a decent printer that would gouge you on the ink.

As for your specific question on a compact printer, I'm assuming that you need it with a laptop. With that HP has a very good mobile printer in the 460c and the 460cb. The 460c is $250 and the 460cb is $300 (it comes with a rechargable Li-Ion battery). There is also the PIXMA iP90 that is another good option. Do a little more research on these two and see which one looks better for you...

I got a Canon Pixma iP1600 for less than the two replacement HP cartridges I needed. Sensational quality printing at a dirt-cheap price ($50).
