While I wouldn't necessarily write-off all of them, I would suggest you
check a site like www.choicestationery.co.uk to see the price of ink
(and compatibles) before you buy.

One ink cartridge for the cheaper printers can often cost as much (or
more) than the actual printer itself.
Buying a decent printer for twice the price can often pay for itself
within weeks/months depending on how often you use it.
Even for small-time users though, a cheaper printer can cost more than a
more expensive one within a year.
