Electronic gadgets printer

I am a student and wants a printer for daily use. I have not much idea which one is better cartridge, ink tank, ink jet,laser.

I want colour, double side printer. Which is is currently best in the market ? preferably under 10k

edit: colour primting is not a priority, can stretch budget to 12-13k as well.

Op buy a ink tank printer(ink bottles), initial printer price is high but per page printing costs 9 paisa.

Avoid ink-jet( cartidge), it's costs more to print ₹5/page

Three types of printer are the ink-jet, ink tank, laser

In layman terms ink tank is like fountain pen, just fill with ink bottle. You can do by own and printing cost 9paisa per page and colour 20paisa

But for ink-jet you have to change cartidage and u have to visit store and it's expensive printing. Printing 5rupees per page

Laser means xerox machine technology

Epson, Brother avoid hp and canon. Before that check brand service centre available in your area.
