Same here, dell printers. Good prices and they're just rebranded lexmark machines so they are built by people who know printers. We also use 'inksmile' which is a random online 3rd party printer supply store and save even more money. We don't use our prints for any high-quality stuff though, just brochures and small handouts so maybe we are losing some quality with the cheap ink? Works for us though.
