Multifunction Printers for Back to School

Perhaps one of the most important and useful back to school buys for a student this year could be a multi-function printer that will take care of printing, scanning, and copying - everything they might need in order to produce great looking school assignments, presentations, and more. Given that there are a lot of choices, we thought we'd point you in the right direction in terms of what you should be looking for in terms of a capable and affordable printer for school, as well as give some specific recommendations.

First thing’s first: decide what kind of printer you want to get. For school-bound people, whether kindergarten or college aged, our recommendation would be to go with an inkjet printer due to their low cost and the fact that you can get very nice color printing in addition to scanning and copying, whereas a laser printer that can do the same would be very expensive. You can view all of the multifunction printers we have at Office-Supplies.us.com and compare. We have great models by trusted manufacturers like Samsung, Sharp, Brother, HP, Canon, and more.
While many multifunction printers geared towards businesses, you can certainly find one that would work great for students, like the HP Deskjet F4280, a multifunction inkjet printer with 16MB of memory, a flatbed scanner, and 26 pages per minute (black and white) / 20 pages per minute (color). At 1200x2400 dpi, it can handle photo printing (and, of course, scanning), and anything your child can throw at it in terms of workload. The ink cartridges are quite affordable on these printers so they make the perfect workhorse printer for school.
