Printers

Wow! What a week of looking at printers, printers, and more printers. What a decision to be made, trying to find the best one. The hardest part of this process was narrowing it down! Consumer Reports was helpful, but didn't review the largest of printers for business. They are good at reviewing the printers for the common person, or for small businesses, but they didn't touch the largest of the printers. Another problem I ran into was trying to find the cost per page. The only way you can do it is to figure out the yield per ink, then divide that by the ink price. Since that varies, depending on the supplier, the page cost can vary, too. The best part of the assignment was finding Hewlett Packard's website which narrows down what one needs to purchase. As an assignment, I learned quite a bit about how printers work, and the various kinds of printers there are. I'll be able to use this knowledge when I'm asked to make a recommendation for our library, or for making a purchase of my own in the future..
