What's So Special About These Printers?

If you aren't using an all in one printer yet, you are in for a pleasant surprise. The quality of print exceeded my belief. I thought you could only get that sort of quality from a dedicated printer. But I was mistaken. The great advantage of the all in one printer is its multi function capability.

Until now, we were used to printing our documents to a printer through a cable connection. That was in the past. That's history now. Technology has moved on. With the arrival of the all in one printer, you get a printer, scanner, photocopier fax or email as well! That takes some beating. Just look at the cost savings to be had compared with buying each device individually. Not just cost, but you can save on valuable room space as well. Who wants multi hardware products scattered around the room when they can all be combined into one?

So when it came to replacing my aged, but loyal Canon printer, I shifted toward an all in one printer solution to solve my printing and scanning needs. I know it's always a gamble when you change to something new, especially where technology is concerned but, after having read some of the reviews, I was convinced, and I haven't been disappointed since.

I selected the HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer. I would label this a low price printer. It does what I want it to do, and I am pleased with the print quality, which for me is very good indeed. We use it a lot to print out the family photos, and it gives us good results. The price has come down since I bought this printer, which is a bit galling, and it is currently selling for under £40 on Amazon UK.

You can definitely pay a lot more than this and get something significantly better. It depends what you want from your investment.

All in one printers are available as inkjet or laser printers though in terms of popularity and affordability the inkjet printer is frequently bought. Laser printers are more for use in commercial environments.

The most common usage of all in one printers is for school work or by amateur photographers to print photographs. These devices don't tend to be bulky or heavy and can be conveniently shifted around. Mine weighs about five Kilograms. You can set them to work wirelessly if you wish, which means you need only plug the printer into the mains power supply, there being no other cable connection. Then you need to get your router to notice the printer. There are obvious advantages of the wireless all in one printer, mainly that they can be located at a place of your choosing rather than just a cable distance away.

Just like many products on the market, there is no shortage of printer models to choose from. For example, Canon all in one printers are a well recognized and popular make. The PIXMA is a adaptable and high quality photo printer. Just like other devices that are wireless it requires to be set-up through some software on your computer, then you can begin applying it and enjoy the functionality of the printer.

There are additionally photocopier and scanner functions available on the PIXMA. There are two trays for paper so you can load each one with different kinds of paper then choose between the two. It can print photos from a memory stick or directly from memory cards. The Canon all in one printer is a cutting-edge printer which delivers some wonderful photos.

Another excellent example is the Brother all in one printer. The DCP colour model prints, scans and copies documents quickly and easily. As with the Canon, it can print directly from USB, media cards and the camera. It is fairly quiet in use as well.

These are just two examples of the various other makes of all all in one printers that are available. If you are buying one the first time, take your time and do your research first, before buying. There are plenty of good all in one printers out there.
