Buyers' Guide to Ink Jet Printers
Ink jets print great photos, and lasers excel at text. But you can't get both in one printer, so you'll have to compromise.
Lisa Cekan
For most people, choosing a printer entails balancing price, speed, and print quality. But as models improve, manufacturers differentiate them in other ways. Ink jet printers, along with digital cameras, are changing the way we print photographs. When loaded with special photo inks and paper, ink jet printers become one the best options for transforming a digital image into a photograph.
For monochrome lasers--whose text quality is so good and uniform that models' output samples are almost indistinguishable from each other--breadth of features is a major selling point. This is good news for busy offices; for example, thanks to extra paper trays and more memory, lasers can print more efficiently, and they come with more-capable drivers that permit easier remote management. As color lasers continue to drop in price, more users can afford to add color to their workplace documents. The least-expensive color lasers cost around $1000.
