epson gives approx 400rs INK BOTTLE
70ml and 2000+ pages easily...
i have l110 color printer so each color separate bottle=400x4=1600rs... but i use color only rarely so only 400rs expense and still now i havent got a refill

, got it last year
Thats an inktank printer , and single function. yes it will be a very good unit for low cost bulk printing, but OP also asked for inbuilt scanner.
Also initial cost of the printer is a bit high... though OP did'nt mention budget.
If it's within budget then he should go for it, next best thing to a laser color printer.
Otherwise hp unit is a good option . I have already refilled 3 times and printed 1500 b/w...considering refill cost negligible if u do it urself (100 bucks of 200 ml ink ~ 3-4 ml per refill; do the math

). And the copy function is lifesaver at times.
If otherwise a no nonsense monochrome printer is needed, basic hp or samsung b/w laser printer @5000/- is the way to go .
