Top 10 multifunctional inkjet printers

The following printers are classified according to their performance and operational costs.

I generally choose a printer by 3 criteria: the quality of the print, the speed and the costs of ink cartridges. One question you can ask the sales man, is if the printer has smart cartridges (with chip).

These cartridges save the level of the ink, and when they are low on ink they will mark the cartridge as empty. This means that it can’t be refilled manually, or it can be refilled, but the printer will still see it empty.

Here are the top printers on the market:
