Ink Jet Printers
#2
All inkjets work fine. I would suggest buying one that has the most economical ink refills. I have an older HP Photosmart and I've noticed that HP ink cartridges seem to have less ink in them now then when I first started buying them and at a higher price.

I have an Epson 310 that I bought earlier this year. And I bought the non-oem refillable ink cartridges that just came out in the spring. I never had any real luck with the cartridge refills with my old Lexmark. The Epson cartridges are expensive. With the refillables, I have printed TONS of stuff since I got this printer and I am still on the original bottles of refill ink. And the cost for the whole set of 5 bottles costs less than $20 including shipping. Yes, it screws up the warranty stuff on the printer but the printer only cost $100 to begin with. I more than make up the cost of having to buy a new printer when I have a problem with the savings on the ink.
The other thing that I really like about it is it is a straight feed printer. The material being printed on does not have to twist and turn, just feeds straight through. A big help when trying to print on fabric, envelopes, etc.

according to studies the inks used by HP and epson are the most (permenent) when doing any fabric printing. the refills do not work, they rinse right out, and some of the other printer brands have so-so results.
