Why Buy a Laser Printer?

If you have ever seen a document from a laser printer, you probably noticed that they just have that extra little zing that you can’t get from your inkjet printer. Laser printers look especially vivid with color documents. 

Laser printers have started to drastically decrease in price. There was a time not too long ago when laser printers were only found in the office. It was very rare to actually see one in someone’s home. Now, it is not uncommon to see a laser printer priced at 100 dollars, and color laser printers for around 200 dollars. This makes it even easier to afford the quality look that you can only get from a laser printer.

Laser printers might have a higher price tag initially, but once you factor in the cost of ownership and replacing cartridges, laser printers are actually cheaper. Laser printers have a lower cost-per-page than most other printers, so the money you spent on the laser printer will easily be recovered within a year. Typically, the cost of printing from a laser printer is about 2 cents per page, while inkjets can cost as much as 8 cents per page. Toner cartridges will typically last longer than the ink cartridges of inkjet printers.

Laser printers are becoming more and more popular, and as a result, there are more models than ever to choose from. Many all-in-one printers utilize laser technology as well.

As with any printer, you should determine how you are going to be using the printer. Decide whether you want color or not. Then you can look at print speed, resolution, and all the other important data.

Below are the criteria TopTenREVIEWS used to evaluate laser printers:

• Print Speed: If you have a fast printer, you will be able to accomplish more. You don’t want to be slowed down waiting for your printer.
• Resolution: Resolution is the key to sharp looking documents and photos. Look for a printer with the best resolution that your budget allows.
• Maximum Medium Size: If you ever need to print something larger than 8.5 x 11, make sure your printer can handle it.
• Monthly Duty Volume: How many pages a machine generally prints or copies per month. The recommended volume can help determine whether a printer or copier is best for use at home, or in a small, medium, or large office.
