How can you choose the best printer for your office or personal use?

THINGS YOU SHOULD KEEP IN MIND BEFORE BUY A PRINTER.

When you decide to buy something, you dont just go and grab that from the market. You take your time knowing about the specifications, features, its uses, price, special factors and much more. This is important because you just dont want to buy something that does not suit your needs or requirements.

Same goes when buying a printer. There are a lot of factors which you need to really know about before you make your final decision.

Here are some points which would help you a lot while making a choice for the most suitable printer or copier.

SET YOUR BUDGET.

You may want to set your budget on what you want to spend for the printer. There are a lot of variations of printers in the market with significant price differences. Set your goal in terms of budget. Understand the concept of cost/ value benefits and the total cost of ownership.

KNOW YOUR NEEDS.

There is a large variety of printers available in the market to match your needs and requirements. Quite overwhelming right?

To make sure you get what you want, you need to know the specifications you want to have in your printer.

• Do you need color printer or black and white printer?
• Copy, Print, Scan and fax- what specific functions you want your printer to possess.
• Is it for personal or business use?
• How often do you print and what is the printing volume annually or monthly?
• Whether you need fax or not?
• Whether you need scan to email, fax to email?
• If you have any specifications regarding the paper size.
• What accessories you want your printer to come with- staples, finisher, booklet maker, 3 hole punch?

PAYMENT OPTIONS

There are certain payment options available for buying a printer. Some stores have options for direct buy, upfront payment or lease to own options so you can choose the payment option. I believe lease to own option is great as it really is cost effective and simple. 

TONERS

Gather information on what toner goes for your machine. This is important as you need to buy the toners constantly. It is important to know the difference between the original toners and compatibles. Originals are more expnesive as they are manufactured by the companies originally for the printers manufactured by them.

On the other hand, compatibles are the ones that are manufactured by some other company and are compatibles with your printer model.

PRINT QUALITY

Print quality is the print resolution that  printer gives you.Quality of a printer can be measured by the dots per inch. The smaller it is, the higher is the quality. You can always check the output of the printer before buying it.

CHOOSE YOUR BRAND.

There are  companies selling printers such as Canon, Lexmark, HP, Samsung, Konica Minolta and many more. There are also a number of printer resellers in the market who are actively engaged in buying and selling of printers. Check online and see where you can get the best deal and best prices.

CHOOSING BETWEEN INKJET AND LASER PRINTER

If you want to get the good photo output and want to stay cost-effective, then the inkjet printers might be a great choice for you. Inkjets are kind of cheaper then the laser printers.

On the other hand, if you are printing a lot of documents, then the inkjets might not be really the best choice for you. You should go for the laser printers as their operating cost might be less as the toners used in laser printers last much longer.

By taking into account all the above mentioned factors, you can definitely choose the most suitable printer for yourself.
