I went back and forth on this one, and I couldn't decide if this should be here, or in photo. I tried photo 1st, and no one resonded. I hate to post a message in 2 differnet forums, but here it goes.

I print alot of case inserts(full color, a4 size), alot being 10-12/week. It's not a business or anything. I used to have a lexmark Z515 inkjet printer. It was cheap. I recently bought a HP PSC 1410v. Well, I like the way it prints better than my lexmark, and the ink is alot cheaper. Half the price actually.
The problem(s) are:
1. Scanner on PSC is CRAP. I ended up sticking with my 8 year old visioneer.
2. Ink is cheaper, but doesn't seem to last as long.
3. Could use a little better quality printing, better life with ink.

Fast printing isn't a neccessity as I lightscribe discs at the same time, and one disc takes 30 mins, so if it took 30 mins to print one insert I wouldn't care as long as it looked nice, didn't KILL me with ink/prices.
What printer(s) would you recommend??
I would like a Printer Scanner combo to save me some room, but I won't sacrifice room for quality scans.
Budget is negotiable, but limitable($200USD). If for $20 more I could get ALOT better... I'd consider.

I was looking at an cannon and keeping the scanner I have.

It's neat because there's 3 different color cartridges, and you only have to replace the one you need.

That's a nice printer for the money, you can't go wrong with Canon. I love the Pixma series, currently I'm using the Canon IP4000 which doesn't consume alot of ink, plus the cartridges are relatively cheap and last quite a long time... Another added bonus, as you mentioned on your post, is the fact that you can change each color cartridge individually, mine has 3 different black and 3 different colors... The Pixma is a true photo printer, documents print just as nice but it really shines when you print photos, the photo prints look absolutely amazing.
