Nowadays, we all need to have a computer printer at the house. This applies especially to university learners. Reports, unique projects, and even daily homework often must be printed out and turned in. Almost all people acknowledge this and have purchased or are going to buy a nice computer printer for their family computer. Unfortunately, there are lots of printers to pick from and choosing one can be difficult.

On this page I'll go over selecting the ideal printer for school. I favor a certain type rather than a certain brand and I'll lay out the reasons for this in more detail for you.

First of all, I believe that one would be wise to get a multi-functional computer printer. Even though many students won't need the fax machine, they are going to need to be capable of printing, scanning, and copying. Having an all-in-one machine could save you money on producing copies and will permit you to scan in pictures as well as other beneficial files. Scanning in old snap shots for history assignments is a really great strategy to score extra points with your history teacher.

The top all-in-one printer producers are: Cannon, HP, Epson, Brother, and Konica Minolta. This being said, most new computer printers will do a fairly good job. Be certain to check out the cost of refilling the ink or toner before you purchase the computer printer. Often times businesses will practically give you the computer printer for free, but will charge you a king's ransom for ink or toner.

Another recommendation is to get an 11x17 printer. While nearly all documents can and will be published on standard size paper, it is good to have the option to create larger copies. Wide format computer printers offer you the ability to print out pamphlets, booklets, and big print-outs for school presentations. Adding a special touch to your presentations is bound to increase your grade.

Are your marks worth a few extra dollars at the computer printer store?

Last but not least, get yourself a printer that prints in color. These printers are a little more expensive, but they make prints look a lot better. A color printing device will generally offer you the option to print in black and white or color, so you can always use the black and white settings to save some cash when color isn't needed. Just be sure to go into the advanced options each time you make a print otherwise the default will generally be clicked to color prints only.
