I have a HP Photosmart. Had to get a new one last fall, so I got the HP. I really like it. It is ink jet, I have done a few pictures & some of my labels that I put on my quilts.:-)

How many of the color cartridges do you need? Do you only have to replace one at a time? Are they expensive? Is it cheaper to replace the colors one at a time?

SO what I have found in doing a little more research on this subject that I thought I would share with you, is that in addition to the requirement for the InkJet and not using off brand or refilled cartridges is that you check to see if the ink is pigmented, as it will have better color, less likely to fade or wash out, has a brighter crisper color as well. I just had a girl bring me a memory quilt to quilt and she had used a Kodak printer for the pictures.... and they were amazing. So I haven't yet decided, one article said that the printer manual will indicate if the ink is pigmented.
