With so many features and benefits to consider,buying a new printer often feels like a daunting task. Today, we hope that we can shed some light on common features of printers to make the process of buying your new device simple and easy. By purpose (general or special), intended use (home or office), and technology, are the three most useful ways to categorize printers. Defines your needs by all three categories and you're on the right track to find the right printer. To begin with, let's compare laser printers and inkjet printers.
Laser printers
use toner cartridges and area reliable and highly efficient option for any home
or workspace that is frequently printing documents. They are usually fast and
produce high quality text, so they are great for printing documents.
Inkjet Printers
use ink cartridges and are ideal for printing images and recommended for
general printing at home or in the office. If you plan on printing your own
photos, and want more vivid colours then inkjet printers are a better option
for you.
There are some points
which you should know before purchasing printers.
1.Printer Speed
Print speed is measured
by pages per minute, known simply as PPM. This number will tell you how many A4
sheets can be printed per minute. If you are printing often, we recommend
looking at purchasing a printer with a higher print speed.
2.Printer Resolution
Print resolution is
measured by dots per inch, or known as DPI The more dots, the higher the image
quality will be. This is not important if you plan on mainly printing documents
and text, however if you want to produce high quality images, you should look
out for a higher resolution.
3.Connectivity
USB connectivity is
standard in all printers and allows you to connect to one device in a fixed
location. If you want to share the printer with multiple users then wireless is
the better option. Most printers allow wireless printing by connecting the
printer to a wireless router. Printers that have WiFi Direct allow you to
connect directly to your printer without the need for a router. Some printers
have NFC connectivity which allows you to wirelessly print simply by touching
your mobile device to the printer.
4.Cost
The cost of the printers
is depend upon the amount of usage you have daily or weekly, by keeping this
point in mind you should buy printers.
Key Features
Other key features of
printers include automatic two-sided printing and an automatic document feeder.
Automatic two-sided printing will allow you to print on both sides of a page
and will help you to reduce paper wastage. Not only does this help to produce
more professional looking documents, but it also makes your printing more
sustainable as you can use half as much paper. An automatic document feeder
will enable you to scan and copy multiple pages automatically. Selecting a
printer with this feature will help you to save time when copying and scanning
documents.
