Printer & Scanner Buying Guide

Choosing the Right Printer

Selecting a printer depends on what you plan to print, how often you print, and your budget. Home users who print occasionally may prefer a compact inkjet model. Frequent office printing calls for a faster laser model with lower cost per page. Multifunction printers combine printing, scanning, and copying in a single device, saving space and money.

Inkjet vs. Laser

Inkjet printers are affordable upfront and produce vibrant colour output, making them ideal for photos and creative projects. Laser printers cost more initially but deliver faster speeds and lower running costs for high-volume text documents. If you mostly print reports and business letters, laser is the smarter long-term investment.

Key Features to Consider

Look for wireless connectivity if you want to print from multiple devices. Automatic duplex printing saves paper and money over time. If you need scanning, choose a model with an automatic document feeder for multi-page jobs. Paper tray capacity matters too — larger trays mean fewer refills during busy weeks.

Understanding Cost Per Page

The purchase price is only part of the total cost. Calculate the cost per page by dividing the cartridge price by its rated page yield. High-yield cartridges and ink tank systems significantly reduce ongoing costs. Our Cost Per Page guide explains this in detail.
