What Color Inkjet printer model is the best all around printer that can do
mixed text and graphics as well as photos with the highest qualtity for
under $500. It should also have good record for consumables (cost of ink).
 
You have to decide if photoprinting is your most important concern: the
better photoprinters (all Epson IMHOP) are slow for text but do an adequate
job. You also have to decide about the maximum paper size you want to use:
if you are not going to go beyond 8.5 x 11 you can save a lot of money.

Canon.

Look here:

10199

The Canon i850/i860 or the Canon i950/i960. Any of these printers will do
everything you want and then some for far less than $500. They all use
individual ink tanks so only the color that is empty has to be replaced.
Many people have been successful at refilling the ink tanks which
dramatically reduces ink cost.

Do a Google search for reviews on those printers. If consumer/user reviews
are available see what other people are writing about them through actual
use.

The best printer for text, graphics and photo's could be the three cartridge HP
printers such as the new Photosmart 7960. These are around $299. With the
pigmented black ink cartridge installed you get 6 ink photo printing as well as
excellent text. See the following for spec's:
