It is not easy to make sense of the vast variety of printers available in computer stores. How not to make a mistake and buy a device that would meet all your requirements? To do this, let's figure out what printers are and how they are subdivided.
Instructions
Step 1
There are dot matrix, inkjet and laser printers. Matrix machines are already a thing of the past, since their speed is low, and the quality leaves much to be desired. Inkjet printers are the next generation of printing machines. The print speed and quality of these printers is an order of magnitude higher than dot matrix printers. They can also be used for printing photographs. Laser machines are the most advanced of the three types of printers and naturally the fastest.
Step 2
When choosing a model, you must first of all decide for what purpose you need a printer. If you need a home printer on which you will periodically print personal documents, then the cheapest inkjet printer is for you.
Step 3
If you print a lot of documents, then you can buy a laser printer with the ability to refill ink. You can find out all the nuances of refueling from sales consultants.
Step 4
In order to print quality photos, you need a photo printer.
Step 5
Particular attention should be paid to the speed and quality of the printing apparatus. Of course, these components in new technologies are much higher, but even among machines of the same line they can be strikingly different from each other. Therefore, carefully test the offered printers.
Step 6
An important point when buying a printer is the cost and resource of new cartridges, as well as the possibility of refilling them. It's no secret that sometimes the cost of a cartridge can be very high - about a quarter of the cost of a new printer. It is also worth checking with the seller if there is a chip in the cartridge that can block the operation of the printer when refueling, and whether it is stitched.
Step 7
And finally, one of the most important criteria when choosing a printing device is the price. It is affected by all of the above characteristics. And it is logical that the higher the speed, the better the print quality, the more expensive the device is. But don't forget about the brand. After all, almost 1/4 of the amount of the proposed product can be his name. So, for the same money, you can buy a printer that has better performance from a less well-known manufacturer.
