Before purchasing a good MFP for your home, it is important to take into account many technical characteristics, since not only the service life of the equipment, but also the print quality will depend on this in the future. First of all, experts recommend paying attention to what extension has a printer.The quality of image detail is indicated by the pixel density per inch, so it is best to choose an MFP with an extension from 1200 * 2400 dpi to 5760 * 1440 dpi. An important role is also played by scanner extension. It should be no worse than 600 * 600 dpi.

Before buying, you need to decide what will be printing - color or black and white. And it is also worth clarifying device print speed: it is estimated by the warm-up time and start of the first page. If you plan to print many pages, then it is better to give preference to models with a print speed of 10-15 black and white and 6-8 color pages per minute.

Devices are great for high quality printing with a continuous ink supply system (CISS). Additionally, you need to ask if a spare cartridge is included in the package.
