Buying an Epson Printer with only 1 colour cartridge

I am trying to buy my son an Epson printer which has 1 colour and 1 black
cartridge
I have found the C46 and the C48 do this but Comet,Currys or PC World do not
stock now.
Any suggestions where I could buy either or an alternative

Most printers are now going to separate cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges
because it is much more economical.

Do a Web search you can pick the 46 up for coppers over £34.

My experience is with my Epson 880 which I have had for years and produces
very good results including colour photographs with a single colour
cartridge
I had always assumed that the 3 colour cartridges were more expensive to buy
than the one cartridge with 3 colours.
Do they run out at different times?

I always though that the separate colours were more expensive than a single
cartridge with 3 colours !

You assumption is the opposite of most users. Common sense says that
separate cartridges are more economical, as they can be replaced one at a
time as the individual colour run out, while you must throw out a combined
colour cartridge when only one colour runs out. I gather though that there
was a recent study that found there was hardly any difference in it long
term. But still - there is also no benefit to a single colour cartridge.

Mine do.

Several seperate carts can be more expensive then the one cart but typically
they contain more ink....but it's hard to compare sometimes.

My HP printer has tiny carts compared to my old one but the ink seems to
last longer - must be more dense or something.
