Some printers do not keep the paper flat while it is printing.  The
paper does not move through the printer in a straight motion.  The
paper path through the printer is curved.

Very thick or very thin paper may not follow the twisty path through
the printer and may get crunched and stuck within the machine.

For most printers, the cost of paper, ink and toner is a linear
function of how many pages are printed.  No matter how many pages you
print, the cost for each page remains about the same.

Some printers have very expensive parts that must be replaced  now
and then.  This is in addition to the cost of the paper, ink and
toner.

A "niche" is a very small space or container.  A "niche use" means
"for a special purpose, not widely used".

The printed pages look the same even if you print it on different
printers.

Some printers can be connected directly to your corporate network.
Other printers must be connected to a computer connected to your
network.

Hope this helps.
