Before you pay

Before you buy a printer: what to check

A cheap printer can be expensive to own. A few minutes of checking now saves money every month afterwards.

1. 1

   Check the cost of ink or toner, not just the printer. Find the cartridge or bottle it uses, look up its price and how many pages it prints, and work out the cost per page.

2. 2

   Match the printer to what you print. Mostly black and white documents suit a laser printer; colour, photos and mixed use suit an ink tank. Need to scan and copy too? Get an all-in-one.

3. 3

   Make sure it's genuine and new. Ask whether the box is sealed and whether the starter ink or toner is included. Prices far below other sellers are a warning sign.

4. 4

   Ask about the warranty and who honours it. Keep the receipt and check whether the seller or a local service partner handles repairs.

5. 5

   Check how you'll connect. USB only, or Wi-Fi and phone printing? Confirm before buying if several people will share it.

6. 6

   If it will sit unused for weeks, think twice about inkjet. Ink can dry in the print head. A laser printer copes better with occasional use.
