Description

  • As I'm sure you know, a printer outputs data from your computer on a piece of paper.  There are many different types of printers (most common are laser and inkjet), and many printers are better than others for different tasks (printing photographs, clear text, etc.).  Laser printers aren't necessarily better quality than inkjets anymore, although they once were.  If you want to be able to print in color, inkjet printers are the best option for the cost conscious too.  Some of today's "office inkjet" printers also have other functions including scanning, faxing, copying, etc.  While the scan and copy quality usually aren't that great, the quality is generally good enough for most office / home office situations.
