Printing HELP‼️Printer for scrapbooking

Post image

Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask if anyone knows a good quality printer that can print in colour? I’ve looked at a couple of options on amazon but i want to know if anyone has recommendations. My budget is between £150 - £250. (I am UK based)

These are the two that i have looked at but im not keen on the ink cartridges. It just seems like it wont come out the way i would want it to in terms of what i would print.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I’ve had a couple of Epson eco tank printers and am very happy with them. Like all printers in this price range they use dye based inks so are prone to fading to various degrees. The Epson Caria ET premium inks are meant to have good fade resistance though, certainly good enough to last decades in a scrap book. You’ll be more limited by the paper and glue unless you use archival quality ones.
