We have a large selection of cheap inkjet printers for the home and office here at 123ink.ie. Order today for fast delivery within Ireland from our Dublin warehouse. We stock popular brands such as HP printers, Canon printers, Epson printers or Brother inkjet printers. Each of these printers comes with only a small amount of original ink, enough for the test page. You can order extra ink cartridges for all-in-one printers, wifi printers or photo printers here at 123ink.ie. There will be a recommended ink cartridge under each printer model for your convenience. There is no printer cable included with a printer so make sure to buy one separately.

Why choose an Inkjet printer?

Inkjet printers are an affordable, compact choice for the home or office. Their compact size, quick start up time and friendly price tag, makes them the perfect home printer or small office printer.

Print important work documents, photos, homework material or college work with an inkjet printer.

You might wonder whether a laser printer is a better choice for you, and the short answer is that:

• Inkjet printers generally suit smaller print volumes so are an economical choice for home or small office use. 

• If you are looking to print colour documents or colour images, colour inkjet printers are cheaper than colour laser printers. 

• Inkjet printers produce vibrant and high quality colour images.

• Ink cartridges are also cheaper than toners, so your overall printing costs are less.

How do inkjet printers work?
 

Inkjet printers spray thousands of droplets of ink onto a piece of paper and colours are combined to form an image or text. The colours and sizes of these droplets can be adjusted to produce sharp, photo-realistic images.

• You can look out for DPI or the dots per inch, to gauge the printer's resolution. The DPI specification indicates how many tiny droplets can fit along a single inch on the page. A higher DPI indicates that the printer produces smaller individual dots, and therefore, a sharper image.

What other features to look out for?

• What does ADF mean? 

ADF stands for Automatic Document Feeder and it means that the paper is fed into the printer automatically, eg. copying or scanning without having to manually insert paper, saving you valuable time.

• What does Duplex mean?

With Duplex, you can print on both sides of the document, a very effective way to save paper and money.

• What does PPM mean for print speeds? 

PPM stands for Pages Per Minute, i.e. how many pages the inkjet printer can print per minute. Usually, black and white (mono) documents will be distinguished from colour documents when calculating because it takes longer to print a colour document. 

Some further questions to ask yourself:

Do you require wifi? (a wireless printer) 

This means that you can connect your inkjet printer to your local wireless network without a USB cable or Ethernet cable. Wifi printers do not need cables and you can place your printer anywhere there is coverage, providing you with more freedom.

Do you require an All-In-One Inkjet or Multifunctional Printer?

An All-In-One or Multifunctional Printer can print, scan, copy and, in some cases, also fax. You will notice some printers say (3 in 1) or (4 in 1) after the printer model and this is what it refers to.

Do you require mobile printing?

Some Inkjet printers come with the ability to print from your mobile device, a very convenient feature for busy schedules.

What size format will you be printing? 

Format refers to document size, if it says A4 inkjet printer, then it means you can print using A4 paper, if you require an inkjet printer that can print larger sizes, e.g an A3 inkjet printer, then it is A3 paper that you will need.

Ink for your inkjet printer

Inkjet printers print both sharp black and white documents and high quality, vibrant colour images. You can buy all four ink cartridges for your inkjet printer including black, cyan, magenta and yellow, to make up all of the colour combinations required. You can save money on your ink costs by opting for a multipack and in particular, a 123ink compatible multi-pack. You will find a recommended ink cartridge, usually a multipack of ink under each inkjet printer, that saves you money on ink costs compared to opting for individual inks or for an original cartridge.
