Croma Printer Prices August 2026: Ink Tank From Rs. 12,199

Two thousand four hundred and ninety-nine rupees is the least you can spend on a printer at Croma today, and it buys a single-function cartridge inkjet - no scanner, no Wi-Fi, no copying. The trap is not the machine, it is the ink. A replacement cartridge set for a printer in this class typically costs Rs. 1,200 to Rs. 1,800 and yields a few hundred pages, so a household printing 100 pages a month replaces cartridges two or three times a year and spends more on ink in year one than the printer cost. The seven per cent badge is at least an honest one. Buy this only if you print a dozen pages a month and want the smallest possible upfront number.

• Price: Rs. 2,499 (stated MRP Rs. 2,695)
• Key detail: Rs. 2,499, Canon Pixma TS207 single-function inkjet with cartridges - 7% off a stated Rs. 2,695
• Discount: 7% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 196
• Rating: 3.7 from 3 votes on Croma - too small a sample to act on
• Buying logic: Only for someone who prints a handful of pages a month

The step from the TS207 to this is Rs. 750 and it buys Wi-Fi, which in practice means printing from a phone without plugging anything in - genuinely the feature most households actually use. What it does not change is the cartridge economics, which remain the dominant cost of owning either machine. There is no rating on this listing at all, which is true of 36 of the 52 listings in this read. If your budget genuinely stops at Rs. 3,249, take this over the TS207 for the wireless alone; if it can stretch to the ink-tank tier further down this page, the arithmetic there is a different conversation entirely.

• Price: Rs. 3,249 (stated MRP Rs. 3,595)
• Key detail: Rs. 3,249, Canon PIXMA TS307 single-function Wi-Fi inkjet with cartridges - 10% off a stated Rs. 3,595
• Discount: 10% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 346
• Rating: Croma publishes no usable rating for this listing
• Buying logic: The cheapest wireless printer here, on the wrong ink system

One hundred and twenty-two votes at 4.1 is the only rating sample on this shelf large enough to act on. Every other rated listing here rests on between one and fifteen people, and 36 of the 52 have no rating at all - so this printer is, on evidence available at Croma, the best-tested machine in the read. It is an all-in-one, so it scans and copies as well as prints, and it uses cartridges. At Rs. 5,499 it is the sensible ceiling for cartridge printing: below the ink-tank entry price, above the featureless single-function machines, and backed by more feedback than anything else here.

• Price: Rs. 5,499 (stated MRP Rs. 6,495)
• Key detail: Rs. 5,499, Canon Pixma E470 all-in-one Wi-Fi inkjet with PIXMA Cloud Link - 15% off a stated Rs. 6,495
• Discount: 15% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 996
• Rating: 4.1 from 122 votes on Croma
• Buying logic: The best-evidenced cartridge printer on the shelf

One point zero out of five is the worst score anywhere in this read, and exactly one person left it. That is not a verdict on the printer; it is one bad experience, or one delivery problem, or one person who could not get the setup working. We have seated it because the opposite case appears three cards down - a 4.5 from four people - and the two together make the point better than either alone: on this shelf, a score without a sample size is noise. The machine itself is an ordinary all-in-one cartridge inkjet at Rs. 5,329, which puts it Rs. 170 above the far better-evidenced Canon E470 with 122 votes behind it.

• Price: Rs. 5,329 (stated MRP Rs. 7,071)
• Key detail: Rs. 5,329, HP DeskJet 2820 all-in-one Wi-Fi inkjet with Self Reset - 25% off a stated Rs. 7,071
• Discount: 25% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,742
• Rating: 1.0 from 1 votes on Croma - too small a sample to act on
• Buying logic: No reason to take this over the Canon E470 at Rs. 5,499

Thirty-eight per cent is the largest printer badge in 52 listings, which is worth pausing on: on Croma's electronics shelves the discounts are modest and the stated MRPs are close enough to reality to be useful, in sharp contrast to categories where 80 per cent badges are routine. Rs. 3,411 off a Rs. 8,860 list price is a number you can act on. HP's Ink Advantage line is built around higher-yield cartridges than standard DeskJets, which softens the cartridge problem without solving it. There is one rating count on this listing and no score, which tells you nothing.

• Price: Rs. 5,449 (stated MRP Rs. 8,860)
• Key detail: Rs. 5,449, HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2989 all-in-one Wi-Fi inkjet - 38% off a stated Rs. 8,860
• Discount: 38% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 3,411
• Rating: Croma publishes no usable rating for this listing
• Buying logic: A real discount on a decent cartridge all-in-one

Same Rs. 5,449, same Rs. 8,860 stated MRP, same 38 per cent badge, different model number. HP runs deep model ladders where adjacent numbers differ by a display type or a paper tray, and the listings do not make the differences obvious - this one is distinguished by an icon LCD panel. Neither carries a usable rating. When two listings from one brand sit at an identical price, the honest advice is to open both product pages and compare the cartridge numbers they take rather than the feature bullets, because the cartridge is what you will be buying for the next five years. On this page they are effectively one purchase.

• Price: Rs. 5,449 (stated MRP Rs. 8,860)
• Key detail: Rs. 5,449, HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2876 all-in-one Wi-Fi inkjet with icon LCD - 38% off a stated Rs. 8,860
• Discount: 38% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 3,411
• Rating: Croma publishes no usable rating for this listing
• Buying logic: Interchangeable with the 2989 - compare cartridge numbers, not features

At Rs. 6,799 this is more than half the price of the Rs. 12,199 Epson EcoTank in the next chapter, and that is the moment the cartridge argument collapses. The features here - a larger paper tray, a better panel, faster duplex handling - are real, but they are improvements to a machine whose per-page cost will remain several times the ink-tank alternative's for its entire life. If you are considering spending Rs. 6,799 on a printer, the correct comparison is not against the Rs. 5,449 model below it but against the Rs. 12,199 one above, over three years of the printing you actually do.

• Price: Rs. 6,799 (stated MRP Rs. 9,880)
• Key detail: Rs. 6,799, HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 4278 all-in-one Wi-Fi inkjet with icon LCD - 31% off a stated Rs. 9,880
• Discount: 31% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 3,081
• Rating: Croma publishes no usable rating for this listing
• Buying logic: Compare it against the Rs. 12,199 EcoTank, not against cheaper cartridges

This is the most expensive cartridge printer Croma listed in our read and it is Rs. 3,900 away from the cheapest ink-tank machine. HP's Ultra line uses high-yield cartridges designed for higher monthly volumes, which is the company's own acknowledgement that ordinary cartridges do not suit anyone who prints regularly - and if you print enough to need high-yield cartridges, you print enough for a tank. No rating on the listing. We have seated it as the ceiling of the tier and as the clearest case on the page where spending Rs. 3,900 more saves money within about eighteen months of normal household printing.

• Price: Rs. 8,299 (stated MRP Rs. 10,403)
• Key detail: Rs. 8,299, HP DeskJet Ink Advantage Ultra 4929 all-in-one Wi-Fi inkjet - 20% off a stated Rs. 10,403

• Rating: Croma publishes no usable rating for this listing
• Buying logic: Spend the extra Rs. 3,900 on a tank machine instead

Epson invented the refillable-tank printer for exactly this market and the M1120 is its cheapest entry at Croma. Instead of a cartridge, you pour ink from a bottle into a tank on the side of the machine, and a bottle costing a few hundred rupees prints thousands of pages rather than hundreds. Manufacturers quote page yields in the thousands for a bottle set; the practical effect for a household is that ink stops being a recurring worry. This one is monochrome and single-function - no colour, no scanner - which is what keeps it at Rs. 12,199. For a home office printing documents, that is not a compromise at all.

• Price: Rs. 12,199 (stated MRP Rs. 13,699)
• Key detail: Rs. 12,199, EPSON EcoTank M1120 single-function Wi-Fi monochrome ink tank printer - 11% off a stated Rs. 13,699
• Discount: 11% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,500
• Rating: Croma publishes no usable rating for this listing
• Buying logic: The value pick of the entire page if you only print black text

Six hundred and thirty rupees more than the Epson M1120 buys colour printing and a scanner, and gives up Wi-Fi - this is the one tank machine in the read that is USB-only. Whether that trade works depends entirely on where the printer sits: connected to a desktop it is invisible, but a household that prints from phones will find it useless. HP's Smart Tank line is its answer to Epson's EcoTank and the ink economics are broadly comparable. If you want colour and can live with a cable, this is the cheapest way to get a tank all-in-one at Croma today.

• Price: Rs. 12,829 (stated MRP Rs. 14,421)
• Key detail: Rs. 12,829, HP Smart Tank 520 all-in-one inkjet with smart guided control panel - 11% off a stated Rs. 14,421

• Rating: Croma publishes no usable rating for this listing
• Buying logic: Only if the printer will live next to a computer

Canon's G-series is the third of the three tank systems and the G3010 is a long-running model with a genuinely useful detail: a dot-count ink end sensor, which counts the ink actually dispensed rather than guessing from a float. Tank printers are notoriously bad at telling you how much ink is left - you often end up peering at a translucent plastic reservoir - and a counting sensor is a real improvement. Fourteen people have left a rating count with no score attached, which is the sort of partial data this shelf specialises in. At Rs. 13,499 it sits Rs. 670 above the HP 520 and adds Wi-Fi.

• Price: Rs. 13,499 (stated MRP Rs. 17,595)
• Key detail: Rs. 13,499, Canon Pixma G3010 all-in-one Wi-Fi ink tank printer with dot-count ink end sensor - 23% off a stated Rs. 17,595
• Discount: 23% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 4,096
• Rating: Croma publishes no usable rating for this listing
• Buying logic: Colour, Wi-Fi and the best ink gauge here

Four hundred rupees above the Canon G3010, this is a colour tank all-in-one with Wi-Fi and an automatic power-off that matters more than it sounds: inkjet print heads dry out when unused, and a machine that shuts down properly rather than idling tends to clog less. Three point eight from four votes is not a rating anyone should weigh. Between this, the Canon at Rs. 13,499 and the Epson at Rs. 13,949, there is nothing in the published specifications or the ratings to separate three colour tank all-in-ones within Rs. 450 of each other - so buy on ink-bottle price and availability where you live.

• Price: Rs. 13,899 (stated MRP Rs. 16,936)
• Key detail: Rs. 13,899, HP Smart Tank 585 all-in-one Wi-Fi inkjet with auto on-off - 18% off a stated Rs. 16,936
• Discount: 18% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 3,037
• Rating: 3.8 from 4 votes on Croma - too small a sample to act on
• Buying logic: One of three near-identical options - decide on ink availability

The third of the three near-identical colour tank all-in-ones, at Rs. 13,949, and the argument for it is Epson's head start: it has been building tank printers longer than either rival and its ink bottles are the most widely stocked of the three in Indian stationery shops, which is exactly the practical consideration that decides this cluster. Four point zero from five votes is again meaningless as a rating. The CIS scanner in the specification is the contact-image type used in almost all consumer all-in-ones - fine for documents, mediocre for photographs. Choose here on bottle availability, not on the Rs. 450 that separates these three.

• Price: Rs. 13,949 (stated MRP Rs. 17,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 13,949, EPSON EcoTank all-in-one Wi-Fi ink tank printer with Smart Panel app and CIS sensor - 23% off a stated Rs. 17,999
• Discount: 23% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 4,050
• Rating: 4.0 from 5 votes on Croma - too small a sample to act on
• Buying logic: The safest of the three on ink-bottle availability

Four point five is among the best scores in this read and four is the number of people behind it. Earlier on this page a broadly comparable HP carries 1.0 from one vote. Neither number should move a purchase, and printing them without their counts would make this shelf look tested when only one listing in 52 - the Canon E470, with 122 votes - actually is. The printer is a colour tank all-in-one Rs. 1,050 above the three-way cluster below it, and the listing does not make clear what the extra buys beyond a model number. Without that, the cheaper three are the better value.

• Price: Rs. 14,999 (stated MRP Rs. 17,906)
• Key detail: Rs. 14,999, HP Smart Tank 580 all-in-one Wi-Fi inkjet with auto on-off - 16% off a stated Rs. 17,906

• Rating: 4.5 from 4 votes on Croma - too small a sample to act on
• Buying logic: Hard to justify Rs. 1,050 over the Rs. 13,949 Epson

Fifteen people is not a large sample and we are not going to pretend otherwise, but it is three times the evidence behind anything else in this tier and it says 4.4. What Rs. 18,599 adds over the Rs. 14,000 cluster is an automatic document feeder - the tray on top that pulls a stack of pages through the scanner one at a time - which is the single most useful upgrade for anyone who scans multi-page documents, and a chore to live without once you have had one. If your printer is also your scanner for anything longer than a page, this is where the money starts making sense.

• Price: Rs. 18,599 (stated MRP Rs. 23,328)
• Key detail: Rs. 18,599, HP Smart Tank 675 all-in-one Wi-Fi inkjet with automatic ink sensor and ADF - 20% off a stated Rs. 23,328
• Discount: 20% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 4,729
• Rating: 4.4 from 15 votes on Croma - too small a sample to act on
• Buying logic: Buy it for the document feeder if you scan more than one page at a time

Twenty-six thousand three hundred and ninety rupees is more than double the cheapest tank machine on this page and around Rs. 7,800 above the Smart Tank 675 with its document feeder. What it adds is a touchscreen panel, a faster engine and a larger duty cycle - the pages-per-month figure a manufacturer considers sustainable. For a home, none of that changes what comes out of the machine. For a small office printing several hundred pages a month, the duty cycle is the specification that decides whether a printer lasts three years or eight. Eight votes with no score attached is all the feedback Croma publishes on it.

Laser printers fuse powdered toner onto paper with heat, which means three things that matter: text is sharper than any inkjet manages, nothing dries out if the machine sits unused for two months, and the printout does not smudge when wet. Against that, they are monochrome at this price and toner cartridges cost more upfront than ink bottles. At Rs. 12,999 this sits Rs. 800 above the Epson EcoTank M1120, and the choice between them is genuinely close: take the laser if the printer will go weeks without use, take the tank if it runs constantly.

Auto duplex means the printer turns the page over itself and prints the other side. It is unglamorous and it is the feature that saves the most money over a printer's life, because paper is a recurring cost most households never think about - a ream is Rs. 300 or so and duplex halves how fast you get through it. Thirty-five per cent off a stated Rs. 22,500 is the biggest laser badge in the read. There is no rating at all on this listing, which is the norm here rather than the exception. At Rs. 14,699 it is the cheapest way to get duplex laser printing at Croma today.

• Price: Rs. 14,699 (stated MRP Rs. 22,500)

This is the base of HP's 1188 ladder, which appears four times in this read at Rs. 16,499, Rs. 18,999, Rs. 19,999 and - as a tank-laser hybrid - Rs. 23,599. The 1188A is the cable-only version: it prints, scans and copies, but nothing reaches it wirelessly. Given that a multifunction machine usually lives in a shared space rather than beside one desk, the Rs. 2,500 step to the Wi-Fi model below is the one most households should take. Seated here so the ladder is visible, because HP's model numbers give a buyer almost no help in working out what the differences are.

• Price: Rs. 16,499 (stated MRP Rs. 20,343)
• Key detail: Rs. 16,499, HP Laser MFP 1188A multi-function monochrome laser printer with 2-line LCD - 19% off a stated Rs. 20,343

• Rating: Croma publishes no usable rating for this listing
• Buying logic: Only if the printer will be permanently cabled to one computer

Two and a half thousand rupees for Wi-Fi on an otherwise identical machine is a steep line item, and it is still the right rung of this ladder for most people: a multifunction laser is a shared household device and tethering it to one computer wastes most of what you paid for. Above this sits the 1188FNW at Rs. 19,999, which adds fax and networking that a home will never use. One rating count, no score. If you want a laser that prints, scans and copies from any phone in the house, this Rs. 18,999 is the honest stopping point in the range.

• Price: Rs. 18,999 (stated MRP Rs. 22,772)

• Rating: Croma publishes no usable rating for this listing
• Buying logic: The right rung of the 1188 ladder for a household

The FNW suffix adds fax and wired ethernet to the 1188W for Rs. 1,000. Fax remains genuinely necessary in a few Indian contexts - some legal, government and banking workflows still ask for it - and if you are in one of those, this is a cheap way to have it. For everyone else it is Rs. 1,000 for a socket that will never be used, and the ethernet port only matters if your printer sits somewhere with a cable and no reliable Wi-Fi. Twenty-five per cent off a stated Rs. 26,581 is the second-largest laser badge in the read, which does not change the analysis.

• Price: Rs. 19,999 (stated MRP Rs. 26,581)

This is the interesting machine on the shelf. A laser tank uses refillable toner poured from a bottle rather than a sealed cartridge, which applies the ink-tank economics to laser printing - sharp permanent text, nothing to dry out, and consumables at a fraction of cartridge prices. Add duplex and Wi-Fi and it is, on running cost, the cheapest printer on this page to own despite being the most expensive but one to buy. Four point five from two votes is not evidence. Nine per cent is the smallest badge in the read. For a home office printing several hundred pages a month for the next five years, this is the correct purchase.
