Thanks for the comments. I will look particularly about how the printer
makes black, because the one I've got at the moment made black by using the
other three colours...well at least I think it did. Once when it told me
yellow was less than 5% remaining I looked up in the manual, because I was
irritated that it should be running out because I don't often print in
colour and was sure yellow couldn't be running out already. The manual said
even when printing in black and white a little of the ink from all the
colours was used...although this did have a dedicated black cartridge...I
don't really understand it...

Hi Catherine,
I can't advise you of any good web sites. I usually like to see the physical unit, hence I go to Staples, PC World, etc., in person.
However, I would strongly suggest you get a printer which has at least 4 separate ink tanks, black and three colours. HP for example are renowned for having one colour tank, so if you use one colour a lot and it runs out, you are throwing away good, and expensive, ink.
Also, avoid printers which make black by using all three colours. It's never truly black, more of a gray, and again is expensive.
George.

Hello,
I need to buy a new printer and wonder a) has anyone got any suggestions of quick, easy websites to use; and b) any particular printers to get/avoid (I want to get a colour inkjet).
