Before you buy a printer, go on Amazon and look for compatible refills, and figure out what 10 sets of refills will cost you, and tack that onto the price. Look for printer lines that have substantially cheaper third-party cartridges, and you'll never pay full price for ink again.
The Canon PIXMA series of printers happens to have third-party refill cartridges that are so cheap, you can get this pack of 20 off-brand refills (4 complete sets of CMYK plus 4 bulk black refills) for $36 instead of paying $42 for this pack that is only CMYK, and another $22 for a single black bulk tank.
If you don't have your calculator, I'll save you some trouble: the 20-pack of ink you buy for $36 would cost $256 ordered from Canon. That's an 86% discount, or a savings of $220, which is almost enough to buy one of the mid-range Pixma printers.
Anyone know if this printer is a steal? I would like a printer and my mom needs one. Reviews aren't stellar, but DAT price: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EHDZMGI/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?qid=1416934861&sr=1-11&m=A20F6RQJB8XGLY&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
