If you are like so many other people in this day and age, you have found yourself needing the services of a printer, scanner or a copier from time to time recently. So, you head to the nearest commercial copy service and use one, because you have always thought that you couldn't afford one. If you had taken the time to recheck what is now available however, you may have been surprised to learn that not only has the price come down considerably, but now you can get all three features in one compact unit that takes of no more space on your desk than a type writer.

Smaller, Lighter and More Compact

That's right! and not only that, but you can also now purchase a machine that also includes fax as well. There is now a wide choice of makes and models from light compact units designed for home use to standing high speed floor models that are capable of handing even the most demanding requirements of a busy office.

Inkjet, Laser and Thermal Printing

They come in three basic types of printing functions, those being inkjet, laser and thermal printing and what you will be using it for will weigh heavily in your decision as to what type of printer you will need. Thermal printers are capable of printing on a wide variety of media including rough uneven surfaces, as well as a number of types of cloth fabric.
Integrated Memory Function With Memory Stick

Also, the functions that a newer model printer scanner copier will contain in it should also be given close consideration as well. For instance, the latest printer scanner copiers now come with integrated memory capacity that also uses a memory stick. With the memoryk stick, you can easily transfer images and text directly form your computer to your printer, just as you would with any other device that accommodates a memory stick.
