My own personal recommendation would be to go for a Canon MP750
However please note I have no direct experience of other
multifunctionals so I can't make that recommendation unequivocally.
That said, reviews on the unit are very good.. the speed of a
photocopy is excellent. The feature set is amazing and I keep finding
new things to do with it... Refilling carts is easy to do so costs can
be kept low... and even if you go with aftermarket carts Canon is
still cheaper than Epson equivalents...
My personal favourite aspect are:
- booklet printing
- the document feeder for scanning
- photcopying speed
- printing quality
- the "quiet" mode for printing at night/ when the kids are asleep :)
The only down sides I've seen so far are:
- the fact that there is a tiny bit of bleed at normal printing speeds
with the black on plain paper (I had to look for this though)
- the lack of water fastness of the ink (unlike Epson CX6x00 series
printers)
I'd recommend you buy soon though as MP750's seem to be going out of
stock. http://www.pricerunner.co.uk should give you the best place to
get a deal in the UK.
Hope that helps.
