Color Printers

What is a color printer?

A color printer is a type of computer peripheral that can produce full-color images and text by using colored inks or toners.

What are the main types of color printers?

The two most common types are inkjet printers, which spray tiny droplets of ink, and laser printers, which use a laser beam to fuse toner powder onto paper.

How do I choose the right color printer?

Consider your needs: print volume, desired print quality (photos vs. documents), budget, ink/toner costs, and features like Wi-Fi or scanning.

What are the running costs of a color printer?

Running costs primarily involve the price of ink or toner cartridges, and sometimes paper. Inkjet cartridges generally have a lower upfront cost but may cost more per page than laser toner.
