Quick answers
Ink tank or cartridge printer?+
If you print more than a few pages a week, an ink tank like the EcoTank or MegaTank is much cheaper over time. Cartridge printers are cheaper to buy but cost more to run.
Laser or inkjet?+
Laser is best for fast black-and-white documents. Inkjet or ink tank is better for color and photos.
Do these work with iPhone and Android?+
Yes. They all print over Wi-Fi from phones using the maker’s app or built-in phone printing.
