Mine is pretty old. It's an HP ENVY 4520 and, yeah, you do have to watch out for ink smearing if you want to use wet media. I try to stick to pencil if I print a page out 😊 I could probably do with a new one myself lol.
Great questions 🙂I've never really totalled up how much I spend in a year. I have a subscription to Colouring Heaven which is about £20 every 6 months so there's £40 right there lol. Aside from that I don't really spend loads - most of the books I get are Amazon warehouse deals. I only buy new if I really really want the book ( books like Christine Karron's wildflower Folk for example ) so I'd say at most between £20 and £30 a month, maybe a little more if I have birthday or xmas gift money to spend and sometimes nothing at all 🙂 As to books I don't think I'll colour - I have a few from way back when I first started colouring that I don't think I'll ever colour in such as the Time Garden book. Those were mostly cheap deals from Ebay so I could check out what the artist was like and if I wanted more books from them and for that, they did their job. I also have a few Colouring Heavens that I don't think I'll colour in, but as I have a subscription they get delivered anyways wether I'd colour them or not, and those I'm thinking I may pass on to my sister at some point. I have one or two books that I've picked up dirt cheap from charity shops and I don't regret those as the money goes to charity anyways and I've found ways to use them through paper collage so they're handy to keep around :) TL:DR For question 1 - at most about £200 to £300 at a rough estimate For question 2 - I don't have many and those I do have I find use for so no - no regrets 🙂
Can't wait to see which ones you choose ! I love the JR Tolkein book.
Curious which books you will pick up to get started with in August! 😁
Hi Elaine great books can I ask what printer you use to print the illustrations please I am looking for a new printer thank you xxx
If you use watercolor or other wet mediums like markers, you need to buy a laser printer! Ink will smear.

How much money do you spend a year on colouring books?
Do you regret wasting money on books you know you will never colour.
