I have choosen epson coz its original cartridge is easily available in 250rs whereas canon and hp cost more than rs1000

I'll suggest check out the HP Deskjet 3515. It's priced at 5.5k.

Check out the printer specs here: HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3515 e-All-in-One Printer (CZ279A) | HP® Caribbean

Gives out a 1200 DPI scan resolution which is higher than the 600 DPI offered by epson, though in both the cases it's more than enough for regular usage and IMO, HP's service support is better than that of Epson.

if your concern is printing at low cost, you should probably look for colour laser printers. IMO, this printer is aimed at those who take a printout ocassionally. The epson cartridges you mentioned was ~250 each and for a full colour, you'll have to buy 4 of those (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black - CMYK).

The economy Epson 91N cartridge has a capacity of ~170 and ~210 respectively for black and colour cartridges

while HP uses one black and one tri-colour cartridge.

yes, IMO, 600 dpi is good if you're scanning regular documents.
