If you're looking for a top printer, you'll find a huge range of models offering every conceivable feature and extra. How do you decide which is best for you? The BestReviews team looked at hundreds of inkjet and laser printers during our research. When we buy something to test, we use our own funds to purchase the item.

To ensure that our reviews remain subjective and trustworthy, we never accept free samples from manufacturers. And when we're done testing products, we donate them to charities and other non-profit groups that can use them. Our goal during the selection process for our product matrix, above, was to find five stand-out printers that meet our quality and performance standards while remaining affordable for the majority of home and small businesses owners. Although a color printer may be more cumbersome and slightly more expensive than a black and white model, the benefit is undeniable: you get color prints. As such, some consumers find it prudent to buy a cheap monochrome printer for text printing and an all-in-one color printer for everything else.

Notably, all of the monochrome models we looked at were laser printers, designed for rapid output of large amounts of text and/or black and white images. Even the very best inkjets struggle to produce text that's as sharp (particularly at sizes below 12 point), and when they do, they run much slower because they're on a “high resolution” setting. Should you buy a single or multifunctional printer? In general, this is an easy question to answer. If you can find a quality color printer with fax, scanning, and copying capabilities for the same price as a printer without those functions, the decision is a no-brainer. However, some situations exist in which you might prefer a single-function printer. Consider the following:.

Retrevo has links to download PDF manuals for more than 1366 Canon products. Canon Manuals. Canon Multifunction Printer Manuals.

If you want photo-realistic output of high quality, you almost certainly want a specialist machine that focuses solely on the task at hand. A printer with a built-in scanner would probably serve the needs of most consumers, but if you require high-resolution scans for trade printing or graphic displays, a machine dedicated entirely to high-resolution prints could be your best bet. Business owners might prefer a more robust single-function unit that can consistently handle their heavy output demands. This is always going to be a difficult question to answer, and even the BestReviews lab testers had differing opinions.

However, all agreed that your final choice should depend largely on what you intend to use the printer for. In the early days of home printers, the choice between inkjet and laser was rather straightforward. Back then, laser printers created images with superior detail, but the machines were prohibitively expensive.

Inkjets were far more affordable, but the final product wasn’t nearly as sharp. Most inkjet and laser printers offer similar features. Almost all can communicate wirelessly with your smartphone or tablet. Many offer WiFi so you can share the printer with other users.

And, as we've seen, scanning, copying, and faxing are common. Here are some notable “other” features you might be interested in:. Paper Tray Capacity: If you do a lot of printing, a large-capacity paper tray comes in handy. Automatic Feeding: If you print lots of envelopes or cards, automatic feeding of multiple sizes is useful. Automatic Duplexing: This feature is great for those who want to execute rapid double-sided printing.

Borderless Printing: This is great if you want to print lots of photos, but you should check the print sizes available before making a purchase. Ink Refill Subscription Program: A program such as this could save you money, but we urge consumers to think about their usage patterns before choosing a printer with this feature. It’s not necessary for everyone.

Testing suggests that some images created by cheap replacement ink fade in as little as three months. This may be extreme, but it’s a known danger of buying remanufactured cartridges. Ink purchased directly from the printer manufacturer may cost more, but the images rendered from it could last longer. The reason: this ink will probably be part pigment (the black) and part dye (the colors).

If you want your photo images to retain their richness for years, consider a specialist photo printer and the corresponding ink and paper. You'll pay more, but you’ll enjoy remarkable technology. We scrutinized a lot of printers before choosing our top five.

Some of those that didn't make our shortlist came very close, and the following notes explain our reasoning. We usually shy away from cheap printers, and the HP DeskJet 1112 falls into that category. But although it's cheap, it isn't badly made. Print quality isn’t bad, either. The problems are two-fold. First, it's a USB printer without an included cable.

Sure, you could buy a USB cable separately, but that’s a bit of a nuisance. Second, the DeskJet 1112’s ink cartridges are small, and color printing eats them up all too quickly. Another HP printer, the OfficeJet 4650, rates highly with lots of consumers as a great all-rounder. We can't fault its performance, but in our view, there are other contenders that simply offer better value and/or efficiency. The Canon MX492 is a low-cost printer with a remarkable feature set for the money. But this one feels flimsy.

What’s more, the WiFi can be inconsistent, and like the DeskJet 1112, no USB cable is supplied. We were also initially intrigued by the Brother DCPL2540DW. In the end, however, we found that it just doesn’t offer the same value as its siblings.

There's nothing wrong with it, but it lacks a fax function, can't do duplex scanning, and has difficulty printing longer documents.

A font is a collection of letters and symbols used when printing a document. In general, a group of letters and symbols sharing a common design is referred to as a font. Typeface Typeface refers to the design of the characters and symbols. The following figure shows an example of some typefaces.

Stroke Weight Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the print. There are light, medium, and bold stroke weights. The printer function has medium and bold fonts available.

The figure below shows an example of medium and bold printing. Point Size Point size refers to the height of the character. Character size is measured in points. One inch is divided into 72 points and 1 point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.35 mm). The printer function has bitmapped fonts and scalable fonts available. The bitmapped fonts are fixed in size, but the scalable fonts are not fixed in size. Character Width (Fixed and PS) Each character has a different width from all the other characters in a font at a given point size.

For example, “W” is a wider letter than “I.” There are two ways to print letters of different widths: you can print all letters with the same spacing, regardless of their actual width. Symbol Set When you print the letter “A,” the host computer sends a code corresponding to “A” (hexadecimal 41 is an example of this) to the machine. This code is referred to as the character code. The machine stores an internal representation of each character, and selects from among these character patterns the pattern corresponding to the received code.

Fonts and Scalable Fonts There are two types of fonts available, and these fonts are distinguished by the type of data from which they are formed. Bitmapped fonts. Scalable fonts Bitmapped Fonts Each character of bitmapped fonts are composed of a grid of small dots and stored in the machine’s memory in dot matrix format. Scalable Fonts With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from the one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. 5-11 Some Basic Facts about Fonts. Standard Scalable and OCR Sets Fonts (PCL) With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. (The maximum range of scaling depends on the size of the memory installed in the machine and the size of the paper used.) The following scalable typefaces are included with the machine.
