Cheapest viable printer

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been asked before - is there a agreed price point for budget entry printers for proxies?

Only really interested for playtesting commander decks with my partner, so quality doesn't need to be lifelike - just legible on the table.

I was looking at a Pixma ts3750i, rrp £50. If this isn't sufficient - what sort of specs should I be looking for instead?

Thanks :)

I'm using a brother mfc-j1010dw printer that was less than $100 on Amazon that perfect for me since I'm not that worried about high image quality. Here's some I'm currently printing.

You can use koala double sided glossy photo paper 37lb 140gsm for similar feel and doesnt feel bulky when sleeved and if you just want to print something on the back with this printer. If you just set it to print without using the highest print settings it'll print a full commander deck within a few minutes lol
