IPM is a relatively new ISO quality standard that allows an accurate, direct comparison of speeds between printers.

Print Resolution

Measured in dots per inch (DPI), the higher the DPI, the clearer the images and photos. Every inkjet printer will be able to produce sharp-looking text documents.

Screen

A photo preview screen allows you to view photos and choose settings before printing. The larger the screen, the easier it is to view and select images.

Card Slots

Allow you to use memory cards straight from digital cameras, so you can print photos without a computer.

Wireless

Allows you to connect the printer to your wireless home network, so you can print from your computer without the need for cables.

Email enabled printers

These printers come with their own email address. Any device with email access, such as mobile phones and laptops, will enable you to send documents, pictures and photos directly to your printer from anywhere in the world.

Scanner

Scanners allow you to capture images and text onto your computer. Great for home use for storing photographs and sending them on to friends and family electronically - or in the home office for storing documents and editing texts.
