A 5-star rating for quality in the plain paper test doesn't mean the results will match a printer printing on photo quality paper. Though, of course, it did print faster than one which scored 3-stars in the graphics printing test. This review covers inkjet printers, but for some jobs a laser printer is more suitable. With these printers a laser is used to build a fine dot image on a printing drum. This drum is then used to transfer toner to the paper.
Laser printers are quick, offer high-quality printing, and can be very quiet.
However, toner cartridges can be expensive to buy because they often include the drum, too. Colour laser printers are available, but are very expensive. Most inkjet printers make their colours by mixing cyan, magenta and yellow and black, which vastly improves the quality of printing, since three-colour printers have to mix all three colours to create black, and result is often an ugly brown. If you have the option, we recommend you ask to see samples of the graphics printouts from the machines you are interested in. Take note of the fineness of the ink dot pattern, and how realistic the colours are.
