The sad truth is that not all printers are created equally. Not all manufacturers are equal, either. When weighing out your options, it is important to find the right printer that fits for your specific print needs. Every brand creates devices with different strengths and features, so knowing what your company is looking for in a printer is essential to choosing the right one.
If you’re looking for a new office printer here are some tips for help you find what you are looking for:
Inkjet or Laser
Your first consideration is choosing between an inkjet or laser printer. Neither is necessarily better than the other, but they serve different purposes and meet different printing needs.
An inkjet printer is more ideal for high-quality images and offices with smaller spaces for a printer. A laser printer is better for black and white printing, offices with more area, and cost less per print. A laser printer will cost more upfront but will present better long-term savings because of lower costs per page and ink replacement costs.
Purchase or Lease
You might not be aware of this, but you have the choice between purchasing your printer or renting it. There are, of course, pros and cons associated with both options, so you must take into account depreciation, maintenance, tax incentives, and cost. Our team at Advance Office can help you decide which option is best for your company.
Evaluate Features
Every multifunction printer comes with different features for various functions. When considering purchasing a new printer, be sure to consider what features might be useful in your unique industry. You will want to consider print speeds and volumes, paper types, what quality of images you print, and what workflow options are available for it.
