There’s never been a better time to pick up a cheap printer on the second hand market. With more people going back into offices, the home offices of the Covid era need getting rid of. We’ve looked at the most available, well priced and cheapest to run options and landed firmly on the Canon Pixma MG5750.
Low Purchase Price
At the time of writing there are over 20 listings for the Canon Pixma MG5750 in good condition on eBay. Most are sitting between £15 and £25, not a bad price considering they were around the £80 mark when new. After purchasing a second hand printer, we would always recommend running a power cleaning cycle as you never know how long the printer has remained unused for.
Low Running Cost
Here at Internet Ink, we are a big fan of Canon printers. Compared to the other big manufacturers, they are by far the least exploitative of firmware updates designed to stop compatible inks from working. What makes the MG5750 even better is that the compatible cartridge prices are as low as they come!
The Canon MG5750 takes 5 cartridges, a Pigment Black as well as the standard B/C/M/Y inks. You can purchase a full set from us for an amazing £12.99, or 2 full sets (plus an extra Pigment Black) for £24.99.
