Types of Printers

For domestic needs do not need expensive office equipment, if you are not a professional photographer. The following is a list of products that are great for home use:

1. Inkjet option - perfectly prints various documents and high-quality photos in color.

With prolonged non-use, the paint dries quickly, but there is a way out - install CISS.
2. The laser counterpart is able to print both text and graphic files, today on sale you can find a black and white version or color. The print speed is very high, the cartridges are filled with a special toner that does not dry out over time, it lasts for 2,000 A4 sheets. The cartridge is refilled in special workshops or with special skill yourself; any option is inexpensive. There is one drawback - the cost, but the maintenance is inexpensive, so the printer justifies the initial costs.
3. Multifunctional device (MFP). When these new products appeared on store shelves, they were called harvesters, because you can print, copy and scan any material. This type of equipment is often used in offices. The disadvantage is a rather high cost.

Before deciding which equipment to buy, you need to pay attention to its price.
