Types of printer
When you are looking for a printer for your home or office there are only two types of printer to consider:
Ink-Jet Printer - usually better for home use
- small and light
- low initial cost
- easy to maintain
- good for color print
- slow print speed
- ink cartridges are expensive - for some brands, it's better to refill or buy a new printer
- supports different types of paper
Laser Printer - usually better for office use
- big and heavy
- big initial cost
- harder to maintain than the ink-jet printer
- good for text and simple graphics but not for detail and color-rich images
- very fast print speed
- toner is more cost efficient than ink
- toner leaks may cause a big mess
