Canon MP140 Colour Printer, Scanner and Copier from Argos
We got this to replace our MP130 which finally gave up the ghost. Had been quite pleased with Canon as a printer brand so no qualms about buying the most obvious successor. It's actually a bit more basic though, with no card reader built in and only an LED digit rather than an alphanumeric display. Print quality seems about as good (although with occasional alignment glitches) and it uses pigment inks for richer colours. Note that it is not compatible with the MP130 cartridges, returning to using cartridges with a built-in print head rather than ink tanks - but this does not make the ink as expensive as might be feared.
Good points:
  • Cheap to buy
  • Ink not too ridiculously expensive (and Tesco sell compatible cartridges at a good price if you dare)
  • Photocopier is a useful function
  • Driver software has some useful scanning features in particular
Bad points:
  • Very bare bones functionality
  • Print head has a tendency to catch the corner of lighter grades of paper, depositing an ink smear
  • Paper feeder still a bit naff (as on MP130)
  • Scanner bed still not level (as on MP130)
