Why Buy a Compact Printer?

Compact printers are small in size, but big in features. Compact printers are full featured printers, only in a smaller chassis. Since compact printers are smaller by design, they take up less space on your desk.

Compact printers are also great for people who need to travel frequently. They are small and easy to pack into a suitcase. Many also include a battery, allowing frequent traveler the option of not having to bring the power cord to the big presentation. Many compact printers’ media trays fold over to allow for easier packing and weigh less than a full-sized printer.

Many compact printers are designed as photo printers. This means they will include memory card slots and usually an LCD screen to view photos before printing. Some will allow the camera to be connected directly to the printer for printing.

Many compact printers also use the same ink cartridges as larger inkjet printers. If you have two printers that use the same cartridges, it will be just that much easier to replace them.
