Print anything you want, any time you want, without making a dash for the stationery store. If you already own a printer, then maybe it’s time for an upgrade. Newer models these days are more compact, quieter and smarter, with some even letting you print instantly via your phone.
Whether for home or office use, you first need to decide on which type of printer will serve you best. Inkjet printers, as opposed to laser, are the ones for you if you’re going to be printing photos and high-quality colour documents. A modern inkjet printer is the perfect addition to your at-home work setup.
