Great printer for a student. It is compact in size, capable of color printing and, most importantly, easy to refill.

The printer does not jam photo paper, with the right driver, the quality of printed photos is close to that of an amateur photo printer.

Model with CISS, which means it is very economical and easy to refuel. In the reviews, users say that cans of paint for 200 rubles are enough for 3 refills.

The owners share that the photo can be obtained with a quality no worse than that of color printouts from a local photo salon, but you need to tinker with the settings. Fortunately, there are clear instructions on YouTube on how to do this. It is convenient to pour paint - any student can do it at home on their own.

An economical printer that is great for the needs of a student. It is inexpensive, owns color printing and is easy to refuel. Thanks to CISS, inexpensive consumables and the possibility of refueling at home are obtained. Printing photos is not happy with the quality - so they say in the reviews, but for printing color schemes and illustrations for homework, the level is enough. The ink starter kit is small, but allows you to print about three months without refilling, subject to infrequent use, for example, for essays.If you set the print quality to high, you will not receive printouts soon - the printer is slower than other competitors from our top.

Pros and cons
  • Quiet operation
  • Stylish design
  • Easy setup
  • Paper pickup is poor
  • Head cleaning required before each print

One of the best printers for a student who needs to print a lot and often. There is a Wi-Fi module that allows you to send documents for printing wirelessly. This can be done both from a phone or tablet, and from a laptop and another PC. The model is very compact, albeit larger than some of the participants in our rating, but thanks to the wireless connection, this does not cause inconvenience - the printer can be hidden in a cabinet and opened only to pick up freshly printed documents. Non-original cartridges are inexpensive and can be easily found on sale. There is no full duplex printing here - only Duplex.

Pros and cons
  • There is Wi-Fi with a stable connection
  • Compact due to the absence of a paper tray
  • The child can easily understand the settings
  • Paper is more electrified than other printers

A laser printer with which there are practically no problems. It prints excellently, is unpretentious to the quality of paper, it is easy and inexpensive to refill, it can work with a non-original photoconductor. Prints quickly and consistently well.
