I have the < $100 HP copy, scan, print type also. I live in a rural area and bought this one because ink was available locally.
I have used in to print Inklingo hexagons. It works pretty well. My one complaint is that it does not have the capability for me to set a totally custom page size. It has several built in sizes and that is it. If I were buying a printer mainly to use with Inklingo I would try to be certain I could set the "paper" size at any size I wanted. That will help you use up smaller fabric scraps and such.
