I am guessing that it is an inkjet...I highly recommend getting a laser printer. The print quality is much better and the toner is going to save you in the long run...I mean the long run because it is costly in the beginning ( I have an HP 4550 and it runs about $250-300 for all 4 toners- black, cyan, magenta, and yellow) bt I haven't had to change it in a year and a half and they do not all run out at the same time....when I was using an inkjet I was dropping $50 a pop to replace the cartridges all the time! The print quality is not even comparable...I print my own brochures and they look professionally printed.
