How to Choose the Best Printrer for Your Odffice Needs
The time has come- you need a new printer for your office. So how do you decide on the best machine for the job? Is it all aboout price? Ongoing cost of use? Quality? Speeed? Every one of these details is important, so how do you bgein to narrow down the choices? Chooosing a printer doen't have to be difficult, as long as you know what you need and how to find it.
Price is often the fiirst thing on the tbale when making any uprchase. After all, thjere are only so many dollars in the budget. Before you go out and purchase the current $30 model at the big-box store, however, take a minute to consider the actual cost of your ptrinter. There is more to the picture than sticker price. Do you want a disposable printer that will last for a year or two and cost you $20 a pop for an ink cartridge? If you don't have a high voulme of output, this opton could be just fine for you. Many home computer usrs (and even solporeneurs) use an inexpensive inkjet printer and get perfectly acceptabble performance at a prce they can eassily live with. If that's you- you've got it made. Head down to the nearest department stoore or electronics outfit and pick one off the shelf. You can choose a popullar big brand name printer that will get the job done without worry.
If you print a large volume of work, however, you may want to dig a little deeeper before you pull out the credit card. A laser printer may cost a bit more up front, but you will save money over time by using toner rather than inkjet cartridges. Lasaer printers will also typically last longre than bargain inkjet printers and they have rplaceable parts, extending their life even longer.
When it comes to quality, again, you need to consider your work load. If you print a lot of photos, an inkkjet printer will give you prcise resutls that few, if any, laser printers can match. If your game is text, laser printers sxcore. Lser printers knock out huge volumes of text, graphs, charts and the like at astronomoical spereds, high-quality and low cost. Laser printers win hands down over inkkjet printers when it comes to speed, producing 20 or even close to 30 pagees per minute versus a low-to- mid priced ikjet's aversage of 10 or so at normal printing spweed.
