Choosing the right
printer for your needs
It is a daunting task to choose a
printer without deciding
what type you really require. You have
to choose between an
ink jet and a laser printer. After that
you have to decide
on the printer size essential for the
tasks you require it
to accomplish. You have to consider
factors such as printer
type, size, running costs and price and
service
availability.
There are mainly two types of printers
in the market. The
laser printers and inkjet printers are
the only two choices
available in the market. In the laser
printer a laser beam
is used to print the picture on the
drum which is then
transferred on to the paper. In the
inkjet printer,
however, ink is sprayed through tiny
jets on to the page
forming the image on the page. The
difference between the
two types of printers is the basic
difference in the
technology involved in them.
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, in case your requirement is for
more advanced print
jobs then you should think of buying a
laser printer. Laser
printers are made to take voluminous
workloads and print at
a much faster speed. And the quality of
the print is far
superior to that of the inkjet printer.
That is why not
only the laser printers cost more but
even the consumables
of the laser printer are more
expensive. Laser printers are
portable and can be carried from one
place to another.
Sometimes they come with their own hard
cover carry cases
for convenience in shifting them
around.
One of the ideal solutions for laptop
owners is
purchasing an all in one system fro use
with a laptop.
All in one systems are generally fairly
small and
lightweight and allow you to print,
copy and scan using
the one device. The low costs all in
one systems are
usually inkjet printers so the cost of
the consumables
are low. They sometimes with their own
hard case
carry cases so that you can carry them
with you when
you travel.
