I'm after a new printer that will be used in the home for printing basic B&W text (letters) and less often photo's, buisness cards (on A4 - to be cut up), etc.

My budget is up to £100 but preferable under £85.

My requirements/priorities are:

Quality - fairly important, must be able to print nice, clear photo's on glossy paper.

Speed - not so important, it won't be used that often and never in a rush. Happy to print at less than 0.5ppm when seeking top quality.

Running Costs - Fairly important; I don't want to have to spend tons just to keep an infrequent use printer running (seperate black cartridge important).

Wireless - This would be a BIG bonus. I basically want wireless and would only live without it if it really wasn't justifiable in my price range or requires too many compromises.

Reliability - Very important; in my experience inkjets can be a PITA when they don't get used that often. I want to be able to turn it on after a month of sitting doing nothing, let it warm up and print perfectly.

Borderless Printing - Important, I want this ability.

Size - A4; if I can get A3 at this price without compromise on on other factors then great but A4 is fine.

Noise - Not a big issues, won't be used often enough.

Definate "no go's":

Lexmark Z1480 Wireless - It appears to meet my requirement but I've read a lot of bad reviews.

Thanks in advance

I'velooked into this too, but with a different slant... however a coupleto consider...
Kodak 5300 all in one,,, ecelent reviews and very cheap to run,,, less than half the cost of a normal inkjet.
Canon, MP600r inks not cheap but it has wireless and does a top job...
with your requirments then i go Kodak, find a review on google.

talking about inkjets beng a PITA

I got my old Epson Stylus 670 out of the loft after 7 years of gathering dust, turned it on, did a clean of the inks (using the software ) perfect prints using the pc world 4 quid cheap own brand 10 year old inks

now THAT is reliable, doesnt quite cut it in todays standards I know, but that is one hell of a reliable printer

Dazz, only issue with both of those is that they are all-in-one which I don't really need or want and which adds to their physical bulk.
