Inkjet printers, a simple unit, dedicatedly designed and marketed for taking high quality printouts even in ordinary papers. Buying an appropriate inkjet printer is not a tough thing. But as a rational user, it is important to know about certain basic features and requirements of an ideal inkjet printer. Some of the needed features of inkjet printers have been explained in this article to make you aware in this regard.
• Printing Quality
The quality of printing is determined by the ability to produce high number of printing resolutions. This resolution is measured with the help of a unit called ‘ Dots per Inch’ (DPI). When a printer is able to procure more number of dots with in an inch, then the printing resolution will be high. The higher the dots the higher will be the resolution and the higher the resolution, the higher the printing quality. Apart from the resolution, the second determinant of printing quality is ‘ink quality’. If the quality of ink that you use is too worst, it is impossible to get high quality printouts.
• Print Speed
The number of printed pages given by a printer in a single minute is known by the term ‘printing speed’. A new unit of measurement ‘PPM’ is used to measure the printing speed. High end models have been manufactured with the ability to offer 5 to 20 pages printing output within one minute. If you buy a printer for rare usage, there is no need to give importance to this feature.
• Replacement cost
It is essential to calculate the cost for replacing the ink cartridge. The replacement cost has to be reasonable. To reduce the replacement cost of cartridges, it is advisable to follow some of the useful tips:
1. Always buy compatible cartridges to replace the old one.

2. If possible, go for refurbished cartridges.
