The very cheapest way to print is to buy a used color laser printer that still has a lot of toner left. If you do a very large amount of printering, like a professional amount, you can sometimes find WILD bargains this way, as offices simply do not consider their toner when selling their printers.
If the planned life of the thing is less than 1000 pages, and you're not looking to print photos, just buy a color laser and forget about ink carts forever. Toner is twice as expensive as ink, if you have to restock it; but most printers will come with enough to do a serious bit of printering. I've never had to buy toner for mine, and I've had it for 7 years. (And it doesn't go dry.) Personal color lasers are now available for like $120.
The ink jet printer, as a technology, is dead to me. I think I've said this here before but I can't find it in searches.
