The HP printer that we use at CrazyEngineers is now due for an upgrade and we are looking to replace it with a Wi-Fi enabled multifunction. While researching for the best printer out there, I figured out that a lot of people are in favor of EPSON InkTanks - a set of 4 bottles that make up for the color printouts. But as goes with any electric device, I must define the typical use I'm looking at:-
  • About 100 - 150 prints per month, mostly black and white.
  • About 20-50 color scans per month; high quality scanner would be preferred.
  • Lower cost of running. Absolutely hate buying new cartridge every few weeks.
  • Wireless connectivity is a must.
Budget: Preferably under Rs. 10,000.

The research has led to the following printer: #-Link-Snipped-#.

hp-4645-all-in-one

However, I'm also looking at the options from EPSON, that are available for a bit higher cost, but promise about 4000 (B/W) prints with a bottle that costs just about Rs. 375! Looking at about 5-6 years of life-span of the printer; would you recommend the options from EPSON or the one shortlisted above is good?

I'm specifically looking at first hand information about the economy of InkTanks over the HP's pricey cartridges. Would really appreciate all your responses.
