I recently purchased an Epson CX5200 color printer/scanner/copier. What I was looking for at the time was an inexpensive color printer that had individual ink cartridges so I would not have to replace a 3 color $54 cartridge because the yellow ran out!!!
My local Staples store had this printer on sale for $149. Recently CompUSA had a one day sale where with rebate the same printer ws $129.
This printer uses the new pigment inks that are smear resistant and water resistant. Immediately after it comes out of the printer I can drag my finger across the print and NO smudges. If I wait 30 seconds I can wet my finger and get very little smudging.
The black cartridge costs around $35 and the individual color runs around $11.
It is a USB printer and here is a link to the specs.
