i have my eyes on Epson L210 for its cheap printing costs.
The only drawback i feel is the heating of ink before printing. Who wants to heat ink everyday? (Or is that a one time thing?)


  • Printing amount is average of 300 pages a month. Mostly text. Occasional photos.
  • Wireless,pen drive, ease of use etc not serious.
  • Should have scanner though.
  • Maximum budget is 10 k. minimum is zero

I have gone through canon-mp287s and Vyom's printer comparision.

Would like some more inputs.
Please help.

I'm user of EPSON l110....
more photos = thumps up for ink tank! l110/210 prints photos on photo paper at excellent quality
Ink charging is only the first time u buy the printer.
last month my color inks + b/w ink were dried and i flushed 2 times, still same... but the next day it was back to normal :)
sometimes u need to do nozzle check and see if everything is ok(all colors working properly by printing a built in small test pattern)
