So, don't hesitate to buy, but focus on which printer to buy and which model to buy. Of course, I am also a serious choice phobia patient, and I have been entangled in which to buy for a long time, so I want to share my shopping experience with you who are also entangled, and try to understand how to choose to buy a home printer!
As usual, watch the horse first and charge a good price!

Many people are equipment parties, so they don't need to hoard one. However, the main use of printer from research and development to production is an office equipment, which does not belong to household appliances from the beginning. Only under the current epidemic situation, many people need to print after working and studying at home, so this guy is definitely learning medium and large equipment, so don't be impulsive before buying. Many people's history of blood and tears is that they bought an inkjet printer on impulse, and they used it two or three times a semester. Every time they wash the nozzle, there is more ink than printed, which is not worth the candle. So before buying a printer, think about what your needs are.
If the children at home are still in kindergarten, to be honest, it is not recommended to buy them. The main reasons are as follows: first, there are few homework that kindergarten children need to print out and do, so there is no need to buy it once a month; Second, even if you want your child to practice writing letters, pinyin or numbers, it is not an urgent job. You can print it out at work and take it home. Third, many tabloids handed in by kindergartens need to be colored, and at most two or three tabloids a semester are not worth buying.
There is no doubt that students are definitely the main buyers of home printers. Today, I also complained with my friends, why do teachers have to send out printing homework after work or before going to bed? At this time, you can't take advantage of the company or go out to the print shop. The children here cry because they can't finish their homework, and you are as anxious as ants in your pants over there. As long as you have one or two such experiences, you will immediately place an order to buy a safe one. So students must buy a printer, just considering which one to buy.
The plague god, who was happily sent away, returned home because of the epidemic. But compared with elementary school students' chicken flying and dog jumping, college students' courses are obviously much better. Although there is homework, most of it can be done online. Even if you want to print, there is no hurry. It can be done in the printing shop outside, so it is not cost-effective for college students to invest in a printer.
Recently, the epidemic has been repeated, causing many people to work at home with computers, but in recent years, they have basically worked at home for a short time, 14 to 2 days. Therefore, buying a printer is not just needed. Bite your teeth and it will pass. What's more, enterprises that can work from home now have basically realized online office. No matter nailing or all kinds of online documents, they are basically paperless, so there is no need to buy a printer at home.
There are also some occupations that can work at home for a long time, and there is a baby who studies at home, so under the superposition of these two needs, buying a printer has become just a need.
So in a word, if there is a school child at home, don't hesitate to buy a printer, buy it early and enjoy it early!
The consumables of printers are mainly divided into two parts: one is the consumables of printing materials, and the other is the consumables of paper. The former can be divided into three types according to the three main types of printers, namely, laser printers and toner cartridges, powder bins and toner in all-in-one machines; Ink cartridges and inks used in inkjet printers; Ribbon holder and ribbon in stylus printer. These consumables vary according to the frequency of use and the annual consumption.
In addition, many people can give advice on electronic products such as computers and mobile phones, but they know little about printers, which are also electronic products. This ignorance has also caused many problems in home printers after several years of use, such as unclear printing, nozzle blockage, machine failure and so on. It's easy to turn the home printer that was bought with huge sum of money into "waste".
Unlike other electrical appliances, printers do not necessarily recommend the latest models. In fact, many printers that have been produced for more than ten years are the most stable and practical. Their technology is relatively mature, and the later maintenance is relatively easy, even not bad at all, and no maintenance is needed. And after so many years, the price of consumables has already dropped to the most reasonable category.
Therefore, at the beginning of purchase, it is recommended that you choose a printer that can meet your basic needs in function. Many printers have many fancy functions, but only one or two are commonly used, but when they break down, they often break down first. And the function is simple, and the later maintenance is relatively simple.
At present, home printers are usually divided into inkjet printers and laser printers. The current stylus printers are basically not family-oriented, so let's not talk about it. The focus of everyone's struggle is also to choose an inkjet printer or a laser printer.
If there is any type of big head in home printers, it must be mostly inkjet printers. No matter from the function or price, inkjet printers are more suitable for home use. So you search for "home printer" in the east, and a whole page is inkjet.
Advantages 1: inkjet printers are divided into cartridge type and ink bin type, both of which are much cheaper than laser printers. Choose from 500 yuan at will, and the budget within 1000 yuan is almost perfect.
Advantage 2: Ink is used for inkjet printers, and the ink cartridge type can only be changed, and ink can be added to the ink cartridge type. However, the advantage is that no matter which subsequent consumables are relatively cheap, especially after choosing an inkjet printer with ink cartridges, the price of that kind of consumables has plummeted.
Advantage 3: Although the power of the inkjet printer is small, it has the advantage of low noise, and the printing method is non-impact, so there will be no noise even if it is printed in the study at night.
Advantage 4: The consumables used by the inkjet printer are liquid, which will not produce dust particles suspended in the air and is basically harmless to the human body.
Advantages 5: inkjet printer, high resolution, good effect of printing color documents, suitable for printing photos.
"Low price and cheap consumables" is basically the most prominent advantage of inkjet printers. Isn't it a little exciting? Don't worry, there are still shortcomings, and they are often quite fatal:
Disadvantages 1: The most common disadvantages of inkjet printers are low frequency of use after purchase and blockage after long-term storage without printing. Although the printer driver software program has the function of "nozzle cleaning", one-click cleaning is very convenient, but this cleaning will consume more ink and increase the cost. Secondly, if it is left for too long, software cleaning will not work. At this time, it is even more troublesome to disassemble and clean.
Disadvantage 2: the printing speed of inkjet printer is relatively slow, but it is not a disadvantage for general household use. After all, there is nothing to race against time at home.
The price of a laser printer is probably at least twice as high as that of an inkjet printer, so you still feel miserable when you buy it. However, the benefits are also obvious, that is, because laser printers are basically popularized in units now, everyone is familiar with laser printers from the perspective of use and simple maintenance.
Advantages: 1: The laser printer is very stable, because it uses toner and does not need a nozzle. As long as the machine doesn't get damp and water, it can be used normally for one or two years.
Advantage 2: Because the machine is stable, there is basically no need for maintenance, just replace the toner cartridge or toner cartridge.
Advantage 3: The printing speed of the laser printer is very fast, and the effect of black and white documents is good, so if you need to print a lot of content in a short time, the advantages of the laser printer will suddenly stand out.
To tell the truth, the technology of laser printer is very mature now, and the cost has dropped a lot, so the cost performance is still very good. But if you move the laser printer home, there are still some shortcomings.
Disadvantages 1: Some people add powder to the toner cartridge in order to reduce the use cost, but the toner is harmful. If it cannot be operated or improperly operated, it will easily lead to toner leakage and endanger health.
Disadvantage 2: the cost of laser printer consumables is relatively expensive, and a set of toner cartridges is at least 100 yuan. However, because it can be placed, it is actually acceptable.
Disadvantage 3: If you choose a laser printer, it is basically equivalent to bidding farewell to the color printing function, because it is too! Expensive! Yes! Therefore, if a large part of the usual printing demand is color printing, then honestly choose inkjet.
Well, we have basically understood the two common printers, inkjet and laser, so let's start to give you some suggestions on purchasing. Let's do it simply and rudely:
This kind of family is basically a family that faces exams and often brushes questions. They don't have to worry about not plugging in for a long time, and they can start with cheap inkjet printers. And they are usually printed in black and white. If there are few lottery tickets, you can buy the most used cheap ones on the market, and three or four hundred pieces will meet your needs.
Generally speaking, there is no need to buy a color printer if it is only for children to study. But if you often need to make tabloids and print photos in kindergarten or in the lower grades of primary school, color printing is more important at this time. You can start with a color inkjet printer.
In order to reduce the cost of ink-jet printer consumables, people will privately modify the continuous supply, but frequent problems also affect the subsequent warranty. In order to solve this contradiction, the manufacturer simply launched an "officially modified" continuous supply version, that is, an inkjet printer. It not only solves the cost problem, but also improves the stability of the printer, so if we want to choose a color inkjet printer, we still recommend the ink bin type.
If there is a need for printing at home, but the number of times is not much, just to stop playing outside, or to make it convenient for you to play whenever you want, then it is worth starting a laser printer. Don't worry about not plugging it for a long time, you can use it at any time. Although the selenium drum is expensive, it is acceptable to apply it evenly for a long time.
Nowadays, printers are not only printers, but also multifunctional machines. In addition to the basic printing function, there are arrangements for copying and scanning, and wireless printing is a selling point for home use.
The copying function is practical and should be arranged, especially when you are doing things now, you often need to copy your ID card.
Wireless or WiFi printing function is also very practical, especially suitable for arranging homework in WeChat group, sending pictures or word directly, and printing it without turning on the computer, which is quite convenient.
Generally speaking, there are four major brands of printers, namely Epson, Hewlett-Packard, Canon and Brother. In recent years, many domestic brands have begun to catch up, such as Chen Guang and Mijia, but the technology content of printers is not as high as we thought, and after using them, everyone can find that the old ones are not worse than the new ones, but have better stability and cheaper consumables, so from a certain point of view, buying the old ones of big brands is even more cost-effective than buying the new ones of new brands. Especially for home and personal use, there is no need to buy new ones, but more attention should be paid to practicality, stability and affordability of consumables.
Canon's printer is still very classic. The printer supports printing, copying and scanning, and also supports WiFi wireless printing (WeChat remote printing is not supported).
Four-color printing, integrated ink cartridge, Canon's color printing effect is very good, the color is particularly bright.
As we said before, it is more convenient to choose Mo Dou style for ordinary household use, and adding ink is also easy to operate. Now many shops will change your continuous confession in advance, but it is still very troublesome to operate it yourself later. So it's easy for me to spend money on it. I choose the ink warehouse type. If you have strong hands-on ability, you can consider changing the continuous supply yourself or letting the merchants change it in advance. But brother, this ink box printer is really cost-effective when the activity price is less than 1000 yuan, so it can be considered.
Brother, this printer almost perfectly meets all our needs: printing, direct WeChat remote printing, WiFi printing, wireless printing without network; Copy, scan and print photos (or without borders).
HP is the king in my heart forever. At that time, a 1020 was really a masterpiece. The company has model number 1020, and my colleague said that it has been in service for almost 15 years, completely! Don't! Any! Trouble! Moreover, the printing speed is extremely fast, which is much faster than all kinds of all-in-one machines printing a page in half a day. Moreover, this 103 is the cheapest and most practical model of HP laser printer at present, and HP's machine is extremely stable and its later maintenance is extremely simple. Even if there is a problem, most of it is paper jam, not the fault of the machine, but the paper moved first (wet). So if you want to buy a laser printer that won't take long at the lowest price, HP is definitely the first choice.
Bentu is a laser printer brand with independent core technology in China, which is quite professional among Lenovo, Mijia and other brands. From the modeling point of view, it is also relatively small and suitable for home use. Most importantly, in the ranks of laser printers, the price of Bentu is really beautiful.
Nowadays, laser printers are basically multifunctional machines, which can print, copy and scan, and support wireless printing and WeChat direct printing. However, I have a look, and the disadvantage of Bentu is still in consumables. Compared with the prices of HP and Canon, the price of Bentu's toner cartridge is slightly one third more expensive. If used for a long time, the cost should not be underestimated.
With the implementation of the double reduction policy, we need to print more and more materials ourselves, so it is very convenient to have a printer at home. I hope that through the explanation of this article, everyone can buy a printer that suits them, strive for "productivity before buying, and be more satisfied after buying", so that printers can play their due role.
