For precision color, they use up to a dozen ink cartridges. They have wide frames to accommodate large-format paper, and many can print from paper rolls as well.

Although they can print text and graphics, they are all about printing high-quality photos. Near-dedicated photo printers ($400 to $2,000) are designed for professional photographers and photo enthusiasts.

Most offer security features like password-protected printing, and some even employ accessories such as an encrypted hard drive. Generally, the more expensive the printer is to purchase, the lower its per-page printing costs will be. For many businesses, speed and paper capacity are paramount. Many are monochrome, and favor text and graphics printing over photos. The majority of business printers are lasers, and most are multifunction devices. Home-office printers are a subset of business printers ($100 to more than $2,500), which range from compact, single-function models for low-volume use to humongous floor-standing units that can anchor a department. Most of these printers can also be used in so-called micro offices (with up to five people), and many can serve double duty by supporting household printing as well. Paper capacity starts at about 100 sheets, while higher-end models can hold up to 500 sheets. They are geared toward text (and often graphics) printing over photos. Most are multifunction devices that have scan, copy, and fax capabilities. Home-office printers ($100 to $400) are largely inkjets, and are built for low- to mid-volume printing. *Deals are selected by our partner, TechBargains HP OfficeJet 3830 Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printerīrother MFC-L6800DW All-in-One Wireless Monochrome Laser Printer
