Then comes the actual printing, and boy is it fast. (Paper, thankfully is always reasonably consistently priced, given that all printers tend to at least fit plain A4!)
Not only that but speed, volume, and ease of printing also vary massively, as does ink usage and therefore running costs. Black and white documents look very similar across all models, but print anything in colour and the differences are immediately apparent. What’s more surprising is how much the actual print quality varies. I’m afraid setup is still, often, a pain - although some companies have made a better fist of it than others. In theory at least.īut in an age where e verything is smart, surely wireless printers must have got smarter too? That’s what I hoped when I set out to test and review the best printers currently available… only to be disappointed. The only advantage is that once you’ve done it, you shouldn’t have to mess around with it again. Anyone who has set up a printer before knows that it can be the most arduous, thankless, long-winded tasks in the home tech arsenal. Or, more specifically, setting up a printer. According to Dante’s Inferno, those represent the nine circles of hell, but I would suggest he missed one: printers. Limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud, treachery.
