Im mostly looking to get a printer that does these two things:

 

Print automatic duplex(flips for me), good quality printing (not rly looking for coloured at all,Itll be a nice touch),Wifi(i use onenote) and it needs to be fast.. And most importantly i just dont want it to keep breaking down, currently own a pixma mg3570 and it keeps breaking down ;-;

 

Not looking to spend alot on one.. I might get used ones since theres so many in Singapore.. So do recommend me used models if theyre good

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

Do yourself a favour and don't look for a budget printer, Look for a mid value printer (up to 100eu) that has CHEAP INK. 
The printer itself is a minor expense, if you have to pay 40eu for ink every month, that's a different thing :)

I got some pretty good HP printer, can't check model atm, not home.
It costed 60eu and inks cost about 16-18eu for the XL sizes, roughly 30eu when bought as a multipack.
Think it takes the HP302 inks or such.

But TLDR, make sure to check ink prices before you buy.

Hmm, i was planning to buy bottles to refill the ink catridges..
