CLAIRE

I need to print in colour, but I don’t mind if it is not fast. What kind of printer should I buy?

You should buy a colour inkjet printer because it prints in colour but it isn't fast and it is cheaper than a laser printer.

MARSHALL


I need to print really fast. I’m not going to use colour or images. Shall I buy an inkjet printer?

You shouldn't buy an inkjet printer because is slow. You shoud a mono laser printer because it is very fast and print in black and white but it is more expensive than an inkjet printer.
