SIG-Computing Topic: Purchasing a printer in 2022
Presented by Ron Brown
Purchase considerations for a printer in 2022: Choosing a printer depends on how much you print but more important is the frequency of printing. What is the most economical printer for your use? There are many other printing options for color pictures or documents. What are ecotank printers, and what is HP’s new Neverstop laser printer that you fill-up the laser cartridges yourself? Printing options for 2022 discussed.
