- Inkjet – Ideal for everyday home printing use, inkjet printers also print great quality photographs, with some even able to print directly from your smartphone.
- All-in-one - As the name suggests, all-in-one printers give you everything that you need for all of your home-printing needs. An all-in-one, multifunction printer unit includes a scanner, copier and printer.
- Wireless - Wireless printers allow you to print without having to plug your computer, phone or camera in.
- Epson EcoTank - These printers house Epson’s special ink tanks which can be refilled with cost-effective ink bottles. The bottles provide enough ink to print as many as 6500 prints each and help reduce your printing costs by up to 65%. Not sure how much that is? 6500 prints is around two years’ worth of ink. Epson have designed the EcoTank to house genuine Epson ink; ensuring you get the best quality results - no matter how often you use your printer.
- Card reader - Printers with built-in card readers allow you to take the removable storage card from a camera or laptop and easily print from the card without the need for cables.
Print resolution is shown in DPI (dots per inch) and refers to the output resolution of a printer. The higher the resolution, the sharper the print quality.
Scanners capture a digital image of a photograph or document. DPI is the specification used for printed and scanned media. The DPI determines quality; scanned images with a higher DPI will look more realistic when compared to the original document or print.
