Jack owns a small real estate firm and has come to you asking for help with his printing needs. Currently, he has a color inkjet printer that he is using to print flyers, business cards, brochures, and other marketing materials. However, he is not satisfied with the print quality and wants to invest in a printer that produces more professional-looking hard copy. He expects to print no more than 8,000 sheets per month and needs the ability to print envelopes, letter-size and legal-size pages, and business cards. He wants to be able to automatically print on both sides of a legal-size page to produce a three-column brochure.

Research printer solutions and do the following:

1. Save or print web pages showing three printers to present to Jack that satisfy his needs.
Include at least one laser printer and at least one printer technology other than laser in your selections.

2. Save or print web pages showing the routine maintenance requirements of these printers.

3. Save or print web pages showing all the consumable products (other than paper) that
Jack should expect to have to purchase in the first year of use.

4. Calculate the initial cost of the equipment and the total cost of consumables for one year (other than paper) for each printer solution.

5. Prepare a list of advantages and disadvantages for each solution.

6. Based on your research, which of the three solutions do you recommend? Why?

Important note please answer questions 1- 6 specifically. Your help is most appreciated.
