Needs to be easy to use and low cost to run, so that you canafford to print off those school projects and loads of web page information withouthaving to take out a second mortgage. DO NOT BUY HP, Lexmark or Dell. Thesemanufacturers all use an ink cartridge with a built in print head, but also use amethod which puts three different colours all in one cartridge - when one colour isrun out the cartridge is finished. Epson, Canon and Brother all use a technologywhere the print head is built into the printer, so as you finish one colour you justreplace that ink tank - a much cheaper option immediately. These days, I wouldrecommend looking for a Multi-Function device, that is a printer that is also ascanner, copier and printer all in one. Basically one machine will print documentsfrom your PC, but will also allow you to scan documents back into the PC again andPhoto Copy documents whenever you need them. All of the major manufacturers offerthese types of machines so costs are very competitive, the thing you need to know isthe cost of owning and using them.
When you start looking at the cost of ink cartridges the immediate thing that jumpsout is the price differential between original and compatible or refilledcartridges. For home use the compatible/refilled cartridges are more than adequatefor purpose. Compatible cartridges are manufactured by third party manufacturers andare generally significantly cheaper than the Manufacturers original cartridges.
So, we need a Multi-Function printer, made by Epson, Canon or Brother and we now getdown to personal preference. For ease of use and ease availability of competitivelypriced ink cartridges, I personally recommend Brother products - my daughter atUniversity has one and is delighted with the results.
This also fulfills the requirements for No 3 - Small office/Home office use; onedevice in a small footprint which will fulfill three requirements - once againBrother wins out in my opinion.
So I have covered options 1 and 3 above, next number 2 photo printing;
There are two different types of photo printers, Canon ,Samsung and Kodak produce 4x 6″ photo printers, which use a ribbon technique called dye sublimationprinting. These produce a very high quality print which is equivalent to or betterthan that produced by traditional silver halide photo processing in shops etc, thedrawback is that you are limited to the sizes that you can print and it can also beexpensive.
Your other option is an inkjet printer. To be able to print high quality photos youmust have at least six colours available, and some of the top end printers now useup to 10 different colour cartridges. Using these inks and good quality inkjet photopaper, the output you can achieve is breathtaking and in many cases better thantraditional methods of outputting photos. Which one to choose is a really difficultquestion and probably revolves more around your personal preferences and thethickness of your wallet than anything else. My own personal preference is for thenew Canon Pixma printers, results achieved with their new Chromalife 100 inks arestunning, the inks are guaranteed for up to 100 years (with some caveats!) and theyare using semiconductor manufacturing technology for the print heads which enablesthe printers to produce superb output every time.
