Ink Tank Printers<\/strong><\/h3>\nInk tank printers are the newest trend in inkjet printing and have become popular with more people working remote and rediscovering their need for a home printer again.\u00a0 They offer all of the same features as a traditional inkjet printer, but instead of using ink cartridges to create a print, they use ink bottles and a tank system.\u00a0 Similar to filling up your car with gas, you refill the built-in tank with ink when your printer is running low.\u00a0 Like a toner cartridge, ink bottles can create thousands of prints at low cost per page, which means you can print whatever you need without worrying too much about your budget.<\/p>\n
Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Cheap printing costs. Ink bottles are affordable and can print for thousands of pages before needing to be replaced.<\/li>\n
- Prints a range of media in detail-rich color, including documents, photos, brochures, presentations and more<\/li>\n
- You can find ink tank printers for a range of printing demands, including the home, office and even high volume photo prints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Slower print speeds. Most ink tank printers average print speed is between 5-25 ppm depending on the printer model – the cheaper the ink tank printer, the slower the print speed. \u00a0\u00a0Plan to be patient if you print a lot of pages.<\/li>\n
- High upfront costs. Depending on what kind of printer you need, prices range anywhere from around $200 for a basic home printing option to over $1,000 for a heavy-duty business machine with all the bells and whistles.<\/li>\n
- Beware of clogs. Similar to the traditional inkjet, ink tank printers will clog if they go used for a long period of time.\u00a0 For best results, be sure to print regularly so you keep the printhead primed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
