Printer buying guide


In last few years things have changed dramatically. Loads of new things have arrived in the market. And we easily get confused when we enter in to the market places because of the variety we see. It’s really difficult to choose and a printer in of no difference. Its seems like a straightforward shopping but buying a printer can be a tough job. In this buying guide we will discuss what kind of requirement need what type of printer. This discussion might make your printer shopping easy.
Two basic type of printer are inkjet (standard models and dedicated photo models are the types of inkjet printer) and laser printer (monochrome and color formats are two types of printer that comes under laser printer). Inkjet printers are mainly used for photo printing, especially dedicated photo models of inkjet printers. When it comes to printing colored or non colored documents other than photos than laser printer is the best option. Inkjets can print anything but while text and graphics are printed better in laser printer photos quality are better ininkjet printers. Laser printers are expensive but cost effective in long run. If you print 50-100pages/week than laser print is best for you.
This was a general info but before you go to an electronic store you need to know what your requirements are so that you are going to buy a printer. How much the printers will be used? If you are going to share it with someone or in the office does it have the wireless? Features like networking capabilities, print speed, print quality, paper capacity, size, and weight should be always remembered and taken in consideration while buying a printer.
Budget might vary depending upon the brands and features. The price of laser printer ranges from a few hundred dollars to over one thousand dollars. There are printers that come with fax, photocopy scanner too. If you are intending to buy a printer for your home or stationary than this might be an excellent choice. There are lots of other things which can be sorted out when exact requirement is known and no one knows better than you. But before always remember to ask about the warranty of the printer you are buying other services that might come along with it. The other advice I can give is to check and see how much the ink cartridges are going to cost you to replace. Most printers are cheap these days -- that's because printer manufacturers want you to buy the printer so you are then dependent on them for the replacement ink cartridges.
