本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛其实我发现，开题已经讲到喷墨打印机。那就多讲点在喷墨上吧。但先提一下激光打印机。其实激光打印机速度快，效果好。无论是上学做assigment或交论文绝对出色，问题是黑白的彩色的有，不过绝非适用family use. Much more expensive than inkjet printers. 喷墨打印机之所以普及是由于价格底。或许有人记得当初HP DESKJET 200推出时是人民币。现在只要400圆。Another than is only black and white. 当你看到不断推出的优质数码照相机，能不心动吗？Use the color printer to print it out, so cool! It's really enjoyable. This is my dream to own a professional digital camera and printer. 没有彩色实在是有些难以接受。
个人觉得，家庭用喷墨挺不错。但是买怎样的哪？ 价格便宜，功能好，还要可靠。这是我所要。比较下来我会选惠普。理由如下：
1）价格可以接受。其实一直觉得HP比较贵。但这个世道贵了没生意。现在DESKJET842 AT FUTURE SHOP IS C$129. Is it affordable? 有很多型号和牌子可能会底于C$100. But personnally I think the imagine is not good enough for phone printer. DESKJET842 is pretty good, but I don't like the image of DESKJET6xx or DESKJET7xx. 我的标准是打印照片效果要逼真。讲一下另外两大牌子。 EPSON AND　ＣＡＮＯＮ。
从效果来将ＥＰＳＯＮ挺不错。号称１４４０ＤＰＩ。　但是样子较单薄，且打印彩色及费墨。从长远讲耗材更费钱。　另外塑料件过多，当然是为省成本。有一次抱了一下ＨＰ打印机，　有好大一块金属底盘，有些美国车的感觉。另外ＥＰＳＯＮ使用挤压式喷墨技术，不同于ＨＰ和ＣＡＮＯＮ。这注定必须自产自销。不成规模有成本问题。尽管墨盒价格不高，但容量也不高，长远来讲仍会费财。
ＣＡＮＯＮ：　最大卖点是价格。效果也不差，同样由于成本因素显得单薄。规模效应不大会有耗材成本上升可能。彩色效果刚能接受。
但黑色效果上讲ＨＰ最好。同样打印论文，若你仔细观察字符，ＣＡＮＯＮ　会有多余细小墨点溅出，ＥＰＳＯＮ能观察到锯齿，ＨＰ则nothing.
2)耗材：规律是规模越大越省，特别从长远打算。没人打算买台打印机明年就换吧。其实要精确比较很难，根据你打印量而定。如果常用彩色建议用，如果很少打印ＣＡＮＯＮ　不错。切记不要只顾价格不顾容量。所有墨盒均有容量，单位价格越便宜越核算。
３）服务：当问题发生时总希望马上解决，最好力马换新的。Almost all the companies have toll free number. Do hesitate to call, not like China, an expert will help 24hrs. If you bought it from futureshop or big stores you can change a new one without reason in two weeks.
4) Talk something about all-in-one amchine. Actually all-in-one is inkjet printer plus a scanner, fax machine, copier. If you don't have a digital camera, it's not a bad idea to have all-in-one. Most people like copy for sure, only fax function is not a must. The common prince is around C$400. 您根据自己情况衡量。
