How to select the printer
By: Carla Inchiostrona
Choosing a printer can be a challenge until you take
the time to determine what your needs are. You need
to decide between an ink jet printer and a laser printer.
Then you need to decide on what size printer you
require for the tasks you will ask the printer to do.
The two main types of printers are inkjet printers and
laser printers. Laser printers use a laser beam to
imprint an image on a drum which then fuses the
image to the paper. Conversely, inkjet printers spray
ink through tiny jets onto the page no laser imaging
occurs.
As far as utility is concerned inkjet printers can do only
small jobs whereas laser printers can take heavy loads of
work. Inkjet printers can do a variety of jobs such as
printing anything from spreadsheets to brochures to word
documents to photos. They are ideal for printing business
and professional documents that are not so expensive, on a
small quantity. These printers are made to take small print
volumes. Hence, they are not costly and can be easily
accommodated in every budget.
In terms of size ink jet printers are usually small and
lightweight and some come with carry cases for
portability. This makes them ideal partners for laptops
and PDAs and any other devices that require printing
facilities.
But if your job requires a high quality output, then you
should consider a laser printer. Laser printers are known
for providing high volume quality output at a fast rate.
The quality is better than the ink jet although its running
cost is quite high comparatively. They are also quite
durable and have a long life span than an ink jet printer.
If you own a laptop, you would be well advised to consider
purchasing an all in one solution. These systems have the
advantage of being lightweight, small and would answer all
your printing, scanning and photocopying needs. That is,
all in one device. These low cost all in one systems are
usually ink jet printers, hence their running costs is
quite low as compared to the laser printers. They usually
come with their own hard carry cases, so you could carry
them wherever you travel. Keeping these factors in mind,
you could surely find a printer suitable for yourself.
