Inkjet printers use liquid ink and can print text, graphics and photos on compatible paper. Laser printers use toner and are available in monochrome and colour models. Consider whether schoolwork involves mainly text documents or also includes colour illustrations and photography.
Many home printers support Wi-Fi printing from compatible laptops, tablets and phones. Depending on the printer, connection options may include Apple AirPrint, Mopria or a manufacturer's app. Check compatibility with the student's operating system, particularly when using a Chromebook.
Automatic duplex printing lets a printer print on both sides of a sheet without requiring you to turn it over manually. Students can select this option for notes, readings and assignments when two-sided printing is permitted. Support can vary by paper type and print setting.
An all-in-one printer with scanning capabilities can save handwritten notes, worksheets and artwork as digital files, such as PDFs or JPEGs.
