These printers can be of inkjet or laser type and come with a variety of features:

Color or Monochrome

Color or Monochrome

If you require the printer mainly for text or documents, it is prudent to opt for a monochrome printer as it is more cost-effective.

Monochrome printers allow you to print innumerable black-and-white copies. You can enjoy better page yield and super-fast speeds with reduced cost-per-page.

Color Printers

Color Printers

You can use color printers at home and work, both. They are commonly used to print multicolored documents and images. Color printers are available in both inkjet and laser models.

Resolution

Resolution

The clarity of the printed image depends on the resolution of a printer. Thus, a printer with higher resolution, which is measured in DPI (dots per inch) will print better and clearer images as compared to a printer with a lower DPI.

Printer Speed

Printer Speed

For text documents, print speed is calculated in terms of ‘pages per minute’ (PPM). For photos, it is ‘Images per minute’ (IPM). This information might be important if you’re looking to print many documents or if there are multiple users.

Inks and Toners

  • Ink is what the printer uses to print the document or image on paper
  • Laser printers have high-capacity toners which reduce the cost of printing significantly. For heavy printing needs, it’s advised to invest in an expensive printer that provides an economical cost per page.
  • In the case of inkjet printers, replacing the ink cartridges may outstrip the cost of the printer.
