Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Weigh your needs against your limitations. Budget: Most duplex Inkjet printers are expensive. How much can you spend? Space: This type of machine can be bulky. Does your home office or den have the room? Features: What are you expecting from this printer? Color printing? Or is black-and-white printing enough? Is page-per-minute rate important to you? Do you want a printer that can handle a high-volume output?
Step2
Research. Visit Web sites for helpful hints and ideas on what you are looking for. If you see something you like, print out the page, and refer to it in the next step.
Step3
Visit different stores. Compare the information on the printouts with the specifications for the store models.
Step4
Ask your friends or co-workers about their experiences with inkjet duplex printing. Someone may know of a problem that a salesperson or Web site might not tell you about. Word of mouth is a reliable source.
Step5
Visit online consumer forums to see if anyone has listed complaints against the brand or model you're considering.
Step6
Purchase your printer.
