There are a number of factors you need to consider when you choose a printer and some of them are listed below.\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Ink: quality and number of cartridges <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of ink quality and cartridges available in the market today and one is more suitable for office and home printing than the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Colouring agents-based inks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 These are colouring agents mixed with water and applied to the paper. While they have less resistance to light, they\u2019re more affordable and the printing is quite accurate. These printers are often more suitable for office or home use if you don\u2019t require heavy photographic prints. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Pigment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><b>based inks \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These printers are more expensive but the print quality is superior. The ink is light and fade resistant and quite vivid, which makes this technology ideal for photo prints. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Printing accuracy<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most printers have a standard value ranging from 4,800 x 2,400 dpi to 2,880 x 1,440 dpi and this is accurate enough for clear text printing and vivid picture printing. Epson printers offer the thinnest 3.5 picoliters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> Printing size<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider your office or home printing requirements before you invest in a printer. Most printers have a maximum printing size and they won\u2019t be able to print sheets beyond that size. Regular printers can handle A4, A3, A3+, A2, and roll printing for panoramas. Offices and homes usually require A4 or A3 printing so you don\u2019t need to look beyond that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><b> Brands<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a number of brands available in the market but Epson and Canon are considered the most reliable. If you\u2019re on a budget, you can choose Epson and if you have some room, choose Canon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to know more about printers and their toners, don\u2019t hesitate to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tonercity.com.au\/contact\/index\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at <\/span><b>Toner City <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and we\u2019ll be happy to help you. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing the right printer for your home and office can help you save a lot of money in the long run, especially if you intend to print large volumes regularly.
