Inkjet vs. Laser Printers

When shopping around for a new office printer, one thing it’s important to know is the difference between an inkjet and laser printer.

Inkjet

An inkjet printer is traditionally more suitable for at-home use and low-volume productivity requirements. Inkjet printers use ink for all of your important printing needs. A lot of inkjet models can perform multiple duties, such as scanning and copying in addition to printing. You may also find models with wireless connectivity for your convenience.

LaserJet

LaserJet printers are typically found in a midsize to large office environment or other high-productivity workspaces. This type of printer uses toner instead of ink and is ideal for a greater printing demand. These printers and their required toner cartridges are known to be pricier than ink-based equipment, but they’ll have a good return on investment if you have frequent tasks, as they produce and perform quickly and efficiently.

Determine Your Need for Office Printers

You have many choices when it comes to selecting an office printer, such as printers that are wireless, all-in-one printer options, or inkjet printers and 3D replicators. Desktop models that can be paired with any business laptop and desktop computer, have a small footprint and are a smart choice for smaller businesses where space is at a premium. For larger companies or those with more demanding print needs, large, high-capacity models are the best option. For optimal efficiency in demanding businesses, choose models that accept high-yield ink cartridges that produce up to 12,000 pages. Ensure you purchase a printer with a maximum monthly duty cycle that exceeds the maximum number of pages you think your business will produce in a month. This optimizes the lifespan of the printer and reduces the need for maintenance.

Computer Printers and Scanners for Every Task

Maybe it's time to eliminate boxes of paper and upload vital documents to cloud files, or maybe part of your company's purpose includes specially printed menus, brochures, invitations, or other eye-catching handouts. To complete all these tasks, check out a range of printers and scanners and choose the model that best fits your business needs. Consider models with features such as automatic duplex printing to reduce paper use. Some printers offer multiple connectivity types and connect easily to your office network, allowing for printing from mobile devices for optimal efficiency. An all-in-one laser printer is hard to beat because of its ability to perform multiple jobs, which increases convenience and therefore productivity.
