Has like 3 times as much ink.

It has a very small cartridge but costs as much as printers with larger cartridges. Dont buy one of these.

I think going with one that is reccommended by someone that already has one, like Patrice, is a good idea.
I have an Hp 380 3 in one, and it too, not only gobbles up ink, the color is not as good as the printer I had before that. I would go back to that one, but it does not copy or scan.

3 years ago I made a quilt with pics, used the fabric sheets- Printed Treasures ? (whatever is referred to here) and it is still as nice as then. I have a HP7550 for photo printing. The quilt hasn't been washed as it's a memory quilt.

I bought a new printer HP6200 series. Haven't really played with the fabric printing feature, but have a project coming up that I will use it.

I just purchased a Dell V305..$50 something..Ink is about average. I use the prepared sheets and make all my labels with it. Rinse, then iron & is supposed to be permanent.

I have done pictures in the past using an HP inkjet & it didn't fade...Hope you get one you like...
