How do you choose a printer for at home?

Which printer suits you best depends on your printing behavior. Before you choose a printer for at home, ask yourself the following:

• Do you also want to scan and copy?
• Do you want low printing costs?
• Do you want to save paper?
• Do you want to print photos?

Do you also want to scan or copy a document? Choose an all-in-one printer. With these models, you can also scan a document or copy a coloring page. If you copy or scan a lot, an all-in-one printer with an automatic document feeder is a good choice. These printers have a special tray, so you can automatically copy or scan a stack of paper. This saves a lot of time and manual work.

When you print a lot, you want to do this affordably. Choose a printer with low usage costs for at home. An ink tank printer can print affordably without problems. With a full ink tank, you can print more than thousands of pages thanks to the affordable ink bottles. Do you only print black and white documents? A laser printer is the right choice for you. With these printers, your texts look extra sharp on paper.

With a printer that prints in duplex, you save a lot on your paper consumption. These printers automatically print in duplex. The printer first checks the first side of the paper, then turns the paper around and prints on the other side. This way, you only use half the paper. That's not only good for your wallet, but also better for the environment.

Do you often print photos? Choose a photo printer. These printers have various functions that allow you to print better photos. Thanks to the high print resolution, your photos look extra sharp on paper. For a better color gamut or a better contrast, choose a photo printer with 5 or 6 cartridges. You can often store photo paper in a separate photo paper drawer, so you don't have to switch paper when you want to print a photo. With this printer, you can print the most beautiful photos for in your scrapbook or on the wall.
