I know this was discussed before- and some of you use the Canon Pixma 300. But I can't find it locally. I would like to get a printer that does a good job of printing on fabrics. And the ink isn't too expensive. I have a Lexmark and it prints great---BUT the ink is so expensive.
Walmart carries the Canon Pixma MP 250 and IP2600, for a cheap price and the ink is much cheaper. Does anyone have these , and can give me some insite? Thank you , Elaine

I use an Epson CX7450 and it works great. The ink is a little more than my old one but works better.

We have a HPC5280 All In One PhotoSmart printer, and it does a great job printing pictures on fabric or paper. The cartridges last a long time, as long as you are not printing out tons of stuff on a daily basis.
