Printers for Home Use Buying Guide


When buying a color inkjet printer for your home, there are several things to check before purchasing a machine:

  • Make sure that the color printer cartridges are each separate units. Some printers have all-in-one color cartridges, which will cost you more money in the long run. It is much more practical to purchase the colors as you use them rather than replacing all of them each time one runs out.


  • If your home office space is limited, consider an all-in-one printer. These models can function as fax machines, scanners, copiers and printers without the need for multiple pieces of equipment, saving you both space and money.


  • As a general rule, you should buy the highest-quality printer that you can afford. Upkeep costs vary widely from one model to the next, however, so be sure to research how much it will cost to replace the ink cartridges or the toner in each machine.


  • If you're purchasing a printer for photo use, consider getting a card printer rather than an inkjet or laser printer. Card printers will print your photos directly from your memory card and will allow you to use special paper created specifically for photo-printing purposes.
