Choosing The Right Printer

Even though your assessment of ease of use will be subjective, it should not be ignored. If you find a unit's controls and print drivers complex and difficult to negotiate, chances are others will too.

Another relatively subjective point you'll want to evaluate is print quality. The industry standard for print resolution is 600x600 dots per inch (dpi), however some manufacturers tout enhanced print resolutions of up to 1,800x1,800 dpi. Sounds impressive, but the best advice is to trust your eyes.
