A good and inexpensive home printer?There is no shortage of such stores.You just need to know what to look for when shopping.
What home printer?This is a common question in the era of coronovirus pandemic.Remote teaching and work are often associated with the need for access to the printer, and this one has been treated by Poles until recent.
Why?First of all, due to the large sizes (we need to save a place for the printer, and it is usually not easy for it), and the opinion about the costly operation of such a device is not without significance.And this is not a myth - it is not uncommon that the cost of buying a printer is lower than the price of a package of dedicated branded consumables.
That is why the axicable advice guide not only what to look for when buying a printer, but also how to buy so as not to overpay for later operation.

Printer or multifunctional device?
At the beginning, we targeted the issue important for many buyers.Current prices of multifunctional devices are similar to printers.This means that for the same money you can buy equipment that will not only allow you to print something, but also convert and scan.
If you intend to scan documents or photos from time to time and want to be able to be a home photocopying, a multifunctional device will be the right choice.Otherwise, look for a standard printer.
For companies, 4in1 devices have also been created, which, apart from the printer, copier and scanner, are also a fax - this is an interesting option for people who have to run a business for some time for some time.
Contrary to appearances, this type of equipment, turning the house into a full -fledged office, is not expensive - for the model of a reputable manufacturer (e.g..Brother Inkbenefit MFC-J200) You will now pay just over 700 PLN.A similar solution from Samsung-SL-M2885FW-it costs about PLN 1,000.

A good 3in1 multifunctional device for a home, which does not serve the nerves and will serve the whole family well, should fulfill the following functions:
Inkjet or laser printer?
If you want to print in color, but you do not intend to spend a lot of money, you have no other choice but an inkjet printer.
The laser printout in color is still a considerable expense (in the case of better models calculated around PLN 4-5 thousand), usually unprofitable for home applications.
It is worth mentioning that on sale we will also find inexpensive color laser printers, such asHP Color Laser 150NW, for which we will pay about PLN 700 - but you must remember that cheaper devices to some extent stand out to some extent with the speed of printing and its quality, supported by media forms, as well as the selection of consumables.
Unfortunately, there is still a lot of truth in the statement that only high -end "laser" can match a typical inkjet printer in terms of print quality.

The more affordable solution is a monochrome laser printer - it offers a higher print quality and lower operating costs than a typical "inklash".
When looking for an optimal price ratio to the possibilities, inexpensive operation and universality of applications at home, choose an inkjet printer.However, if you print a lot and you need a monochrome printing, a laser printer will work better.
Cheap printer - which is what?
When choosing a printer, see not only the price of the equipment itself, but also at the price of ink and cartridge.It is safest to simply convert the cost of printing one page.

Do not be surprised how it turns out that paradoxically cheaper purchase in the perspective of the year will be theoretically more expensive printer.It is usually better to buy a printer costing PLN 250, but using a cheap carcass than a model for PLN 150, which will ask for inks for PLN 100 every few weeks.Unfortunately, it is similar in the case of laser printers, where the price of toners (especially colored) is able to exceed the cost of the device itself.
Remember: a cheap printer does not always mean cheap operation.
Operating costs - you have to pay attention to this
Let's take a look at a simple example that will tell you what to look for. Urządzenie wielofunkcyjne z drukarką atramentowąHP DeskJet 2630 V1N03B kosztuje około 200 zł, natomiast oficjalne materiały eksploatacyjne to tusz N9K05AEm (za który zapłacisz 50 zł) orazHP 304 Kolor, który kosztuje około 47 zł.The performance of the cartridges is about 100 pages.
A simple calculation costs both ink containers in relation to the number of pages.In this case, you will pay about 90 groszy for printout 1 page (without the costs of purchasing the device, energy and paper)!It's really a lot considering that you can easily find equipment that allows you to print at 1/3 of this amount.

Interesting fact: in the case of laser printers you will pay up to 10 groszy for the monochrome printout of 1 page, in the case of inkjet printers from 10 grosze, the minimum price of 1 page starts.As usual, let's recall the old truth - it pays to count.
Colorful or monochrome printer?
Are you sure you need colorful printouts in home equipment? If you work primarily on the text, it is not worth paying extra for the possibility of printing in color and the optimal choice will be a simple, monochrome laser printer here.
If you intend to use a device for printing presentation, photos, home tasks for a child, flashcards or learning materials - choose a color printer (probably inkjet, because as you know, colorful laser printers are not cheap).
Duplex printer or without?
It's simple: duplex is very important!A printer that can print on both sides without having to postpone the cards by the user is a treasure - try, for nothing in the world you will not return to the manual rotation of the pages.
A printer without a duplex is an option for someone who wants to pay as little as possible for the device and does not intend to print a lot on both sides - otherwise you will quickly regret this apparent savings.
Is the print speed an important parameter?
The laser printer is faster when we use it in black and print many pages with one approach.The device must warm up and prepare, and this can take a while - for this reason for occasional users, the inkjet version, which is practically ready to work, can be better for occasional users.
In maximum, it can be said that mass printing of the text is profitable on the laser, and in other cases choose ink.

The speed of printing can be from several to several dozen pages, but this is not a parameter that determines the choice of a printer to be used for home applications - this is a feature that is appreciated in corporate work, where many people print multi -page documents at a similar time.
You can recognize that at home, a device is enough that will offer a performance of 5 pages per minute in color and 10 in black and white.
