So You re Buying A New Printer !

Ok, so you have decided to buy a new printer! The old printer is always cranky " " The print quality, and it is slowly! Here is what I would suggest that you do.
Sit down at the kitchen table or wherever with pen and paper or on a computer with Notepad or a word processing program.
Determine how many pages per day, the pressure. If the number more than 8 pages per day, and we are talking everyday throw all printers priced below $ 100.00, which is home " class " printer and they will wear out quickly.
The inkjet printer market, because the volume of the purchase date is a price-driven " " markets in the computer industry. There are many gimmicks to reduce the price of an inkjet printer, the two most widely
is durability and ink costs. The ink costs means that you throw all HP and Lexmark printers.
HP and Lexmark both involving the print head in the cartridge. This enables the two companies, " patent " that the cartridge and translated into high prices for ink cartridges. If you are the only " " ball game in town, you can, what you want for your ink cartridges! It is true that you can refill their empty cartridges, but it is somewhat chaotic, time-consuming and limited. It is limited because the empty cartridges can be refilled only so many times before the print quality starts going downhill, and you have to buy a new cartridge at $ 28.00 to $ 40.00 dollars a pop.
Concentrate on Canon and Epson. Both companies use a " " tank system for the provision of ink. I advise Canon Epson. Epson provides a chip on each cartridge to prevent you from refilling (it was originally a design scheme to make you buy the cartridges like HP and Lexmark). Generic cartridge makers figured out a way around this but it also raises the prices of generic cartridges, as it is a cost to produce and place a chip.
Ok, now we have determined print volume, in addition to finding out the uses, we want to print the photo? If this is the case, the admission price for an inkjet printer! Many new ink-jet printer with 6 and 7 color printing by incorporating black photo, photo-cyan, magenta and photo inks to improve " Muskelaufbau " & 39; see on the photograph Do not get me wrong, you can use a photo-quality " " picture from a 4 inkjet printer, but it will not have the quality, now that the 6.7 and 8 color photo printer can produce.
Other features photo printers is Pict-Bridge (only a memory card from the camera is needed to print), and large print formats up to 13X19. The
Beware " All In Ones " Ever heard the term " Jack of all trades and master of none "? That is the way I describe the multi-function printer / scanner / copier / fax machines. If you have a fax / copier, and you have an optimum space utilization then a small fine end multifunction machine, but you could not expect them to a fast printer, and not expect that the picture quality of a dedicated photo printer.
