Martin techincal manager at Zinetic.co.uk gives his advice on buying a low cost printer. <br /> <br />His main point is that you need to look at the cost of the cartridges as well as the printer before you buy ! <br /> <br />7 questions to ask before you buy your next printer: <br /> <br /> Do I want/need to print in colour? <br /> Functions - Does the machine do everything I want - i.e print / copy / scan ? <br /> Cost - How much do the replacement toner(s) and drum(s) / parts cost? <br /> Speed - How many pages do you want to print per minute? <br /> Volume - How many pages do you want to print per month? <br /> Size - What size documents do you need to print A4/A3? <br /> How do you want to connect to my printer?
