Why Buy an Inkjet Printer?

Inkjet printers are the most common printer used today in the home. They are relatively low cost and are easy to use and maintain. Inkjet printers are also much quieter than the dot matrix style printers they were designed to replace.

Inkjet printers offer high quality high resolution printing. It is possible to produce your own photo quality prints right at home with your inkjet printer. Typically all you need is photo paper and you’re ready to go.

Inkjet printers don’t require any warm up time, so the printer is always ready to print. Many ink cartridges can be refilled by the consumer, which is considerably cheaper than buying new ink cartridges. Ink cartridges are usually very easy to remove and replace. They are usually located behind a panel on the front of the printer and do not require any tools for removal.

Inkjet printers have one of the lowest cost-per-page ratings too, making it easier and cheaper to prink your own documents and photos at home, rather than taking them to Kinko’s.

What to Look for in an Inkjet Printer

Some printers will seem to cost very little, while the ink cartridges can cost as much as the printer itself for a new set.
