Best printer to print nice clean charts?

[Heydrrich]

I'm looking to print either gray-backed charts with green and red bars directly from my trading platform, or simple screenshots of the charts at Freestockcharts.com, which would have a black background with green and red bars.

My inkjet printer can print these charts, but the clarity leaves something to be desired. Would any old laser printer really print these charts in a clear and sharp way, or what do you guys recommend?

Another avenue of my thinking here is that screenshots (of a chart) generally have fewer pixels per inch than an image printed directly from a trading platform. Anybody have any thoughts on the accuracy of this matter?

Thanks all,

Check into HPDirect see if they do it, where you are.

Basically I pay £3 per month ( not noticeable ) and I get to print 100sheets, doesn't matter if there is 1 letter or it's full A4 photo hires fancy paper.

When the cartridges which are big get to 1/2 full your printer orders the required ink without you realising it and your like, ohhh what's this package, so you never run out or have to worry about damn ink and it's CHEAP as chips.

Charge if you go over 6p per page, or you can sign up for more pages if required.

lol if your chart reading ability sucks, 'nice clean charts' won't help one bit.

Think about the environment and don't waste the paper and ink ... just save screenshots.

Canon appears to do the same thing. Sounds like a nice feature. I'm definitely looking into it.

The trick to print charts is to print on white background. Keeps the charts clean and easily legible and does not use much ink/toner.

I was about to write this as well. Saves ink and you don't drench the paper. The price bars also tend to become sharper and better visible when no background color is printed.
A white background also enables annotations in the chart area.

My printer stopped working, (namely, it does not print sheets at all).

Well that's all a printer does, so in general when broken it'll do that.
