While Brother’s reservoir printers start at $170, they may cost more than the Pixma G4210 over time. After just two years the savings are significant when you compare it with many models in our ratings that cost less up front but then quickly run through expensive ink cartridges. That might sound like a lot, but thanks to those sub-$20 bottles of ink, it's actually one of the cheapest printers you can buy in the long run. But Rich Sulin, who leads CR’s printer testing program, says it’s important to consider the follow-up costs when comparing models.įor example, the CR-recommended Canon Pixma G4210 sells for approximately $300. That’s a hard sell when you can buy one of our recommended inkjets for less than $100.
That’s beneficial in the long run, but these printers tend to cost more up front, with the least expensive models going for about $200. Once the bottles are empty, you can buy replacements for about $20 or less each. Canon and Epson say the bottles of ink included with their reservoir printers will last about two years.
