There are tons of great options but if you are strapped or on a budget, I still use my scanner combo that is nearly a decade old...I don't use the printer as they probably don't make the ink anymore but I've not had complaints that I know of...like everyone else I've had issues with all metallic silver foil cards but that is a matter of changing settings and editing but some, especially the brightly coloured parallels on the stock for cards like Prizm, Mosaic and Optic come out quite well - or at least they look like it from my cell phone;)
