The cost of using a printer not only includes the price of the printer, but also the cost of consumables in the later stage of the printer. You should pay more attention to the cost of printer supplies when purchasing a printer.
Inkjet printers can be divided into two types: "cartridge-type" and "ink tank type". The corresponding consumables are divided into "cartridge" and "ink". Generally, the price of inkjet printers is cheap, but the ink cartridges are more expensive. The cost is higher; the ink tank type is supplied by the original factory. The price of the machine is more expensive, but the ink can be added, the ink price is cheaper, and the printing cost is lower. Therefore, it is recommended that when you buy an inkjet printer, it is better to choose an ink tank-type inkjet printer, but you can also consider it if the ink cartridges are cheap.
