The A Series of printers are pretty basic when it comes to meeting the requirements of NSC. There will be an ink-jet, and a laser lineup of printers – both of which will be color producing printers. The ink tank printers will cost less upfront, and will need to purchase ink for the tanks, but this is much more sustainable than ink cartridge printers. All printers will have an SD card reader, and auto-duplex ADF system. This will allow the person to scan or copy all of the documents they need to. The printer will also support Kal-Drive which will allow the scans to go directly to the Kal-Drive service if there are no media storage. Once in Kal-Drive, they will be able to use their computer or handheld to view the content.
Both printers will support 4 colors for printing. The Ink-Tank printer will be $250, and the color laser will be $300. While these prices are high, keep in mind that an ink-tank can last a years, and a toner cartridge could go through thousands of pages before needing to be replaced. You would save money in the refills so to say. And while these prices are high, someone receiving just GBI should be able to save for their printer. The printer will need to download Windows drivers. With that said, they can go to https://print.kci.ka to get their drivers.
