3. Check the model specifications to ensure the features you need (duplex printing, network connectivity, MFP).
4. Calculate the operating cost based on the cartridge/toner yield.
5. If you provide your monthly print volume, the percentage of color printing, and the features you need, we’ll recommend a specific printer model.

Yes, every printer is sold with factory-installed tanks (starter cartridges). These typically hold less ink or toner than standard cartridges sold separately. They are included so you can start printing right away without having to buy additional supplies.

In practice, this means that once you take the printer out of the box, you can start printing right away, but with heavy use, you’ll use up the starter cartridge faster and will need a full-size one sooner.
