Over recent years computer printers have simultaneously plummeted in price and gained myriad exciting new features and capabilities. The only major downside to the recent proliferation of new models and types of printers available is the matter of choosing the most suitable for your circumstances. Although there are hundreds of different models of printers available from a great number of manufacturers, the different types of printer break down into just a few categories. Here we'll explore the top 3 printers for your office and outline the reasons why they are the best.
Inkjet Printers
They are the most popular form of the printer for the office user. Recent advances and improvements in inkjet technology have not only improved the quality of prints using inkjet printers but also meant that documents are printed faster and less ink is used and less wasted. The huge majority of inkjet printers are capable of full printing color, and they lend themselves well to printing images. As an additional benefit, many inkjet printers also incorporate additional hardware such as a scanner and can print directly from a memory card, which greatly adds to their overall usefulness. Due to the relatively high cost of ink compared to laser printers, inkjet printers are more suitable for light use as opposed to heavy duty and offer a low entry cost but a higher cost per print over the life of the printer. In summary, inkjet printers are best for those with only occasional printing needs and who are particularly likely to print high-quality images rather than black and white documents.
Monochrome Laser Printers
Monochrome laser printers have historically been the printer of choice for larger offices but have waned slightly in popularity in recent years due to the gradual decline in the price of color laser printers. Since
toners
are cheaper than for inkjet printers, they are designed to handle high volumes of document printing and obviously not the best choice for photo printing as they are incapable of printing in color. Monochrome laser printers offer the lowest price per printout and incredibly high speed, as such, they are ideal for companies who need to print a large volume of documents.
Color Laser Printers
Essentially offering the 'best of both worlds' when considered alongside inkjet and monochrome laser printers, color laser printers are capable of printing in color and at high speed. This speed and form of the printing mean that it is not as adept at printing high-quality photographs as an inkjet printer, but more than capable of handling both text and graphics to a highly competent level. Although the cost of entry is higher than with monochrome or inkjet alternatives, over the life of the printer, the cost per page resides between the other two. If your output volume is high and likely to cover the printing of documents, graphics and photographs (which don't have to be of impeccable quality) then a color laser printer is likely to be the best choice.
Having decided which type of printer is best for your circumstances, there is simply the task of comparing the individual models available to find the best-priced printer to cater to your needs fully.
