CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 190

A user requested a new printer with the requirement that all documents be printed in duplicate. Which of the following will produce the MOST cost-effective duplicate printouts with the least amount of effort?

Answer options

• A. Inkjet printer
• B. Thermal printer
• C. Impact printer
• D. Laser printer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Impact printer is the most cost-effective choice for producing duplicate printouts, as it can print multiple copies simultaneously with minimal additional cost. Inkjet and laser printers typically incur higher costs per page for color and quality printing, while thermal printers are not designed for high-volume duplicate printing.
