Finding a cheap printer to run depends on 3 things. How much do you print, how much do ink cartridges cost, and what do you use your printer for. All brands claim to have money-saving features, but ultimately they want you to buy their ink, so the best thing to do is to be economical with your print settings. Make sure you always use draft or toner saver mode, if printing quality is no issue for you, as you will end up saving a lot of wasted ink in the long run. Generally speaking, Inkjets from Brother, HP, and Canon tend to be more economical than other brands, but the 3 above questions will impact which one is really the cheapest for you.
