Frequently asked
Answers to common printer questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear the most. Need more? Ask us anything.
Inkjets excel at colour photos and low-volume mixed use; lasers win for text-heavy, high-volume printing with lower long-term cost per page. Our Laser vs Inkjet guide compares them side by side.
Only when your printer prompts you. Third-party ink meters lie; the printer's own reading is the most reliable. Our Maintenance Guide shows how to make cartridges last longer.
No. We buy or rent every printer we review. Some links on the site are affiliate — that pays for testing, but never changes what we recommend. If a printer isn't good, we say so.
Absolutely. Our remote setup service pairs your printer to Wi-Fi, installs drivers on every device, and shows you the tricks the manual doesn't cover. See Services.
