How to Choose Between Building and Buying Software

£40.70 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
For £33.92 ex‑VAT, the Canon PIXMA MG2551S is the kind of “good enough” printer you buy when you mainly need cheap, straightforward printing in a small office (or home office) and you don’t want to think about it. Realistically, it suits users who print occasionally, mostly basic documents, and want a simple all‑in‑one for scanning/copying without chasing premium print quality. If your expectation is crisp text and the occasional colour handout, it’ll do that comfortably—especially for the price.
Where it *doesn’t* make sense is for any office that prints heavily or cares about fast output and consistent reliability under daily use. Inkjet MFPs in this tier can get expensive if you run lots of pages, and the experience tends to be slower and more “consumer‑grade” than what you’d want for a busy reception or accounts team. If you’re printing often, sharing a network, or need dependable turnaround, you’ll likely end up paying more (in time and ink costs) than the low purchase price suggests.
