How to Choose The Right Printer?

-


This question is very common among professionals and individuals who are looking for a printer that could perfectly match their needs. If you have never asked yourself the question, you should because the choice of a printer must be chosen carefully by determining your needs beforehand. Well-chosen equipment optimizes your budget and improves your working comfort.

On the other hand, unsuitable equipment is often expensive, it degrades your user experience and your working comfort. And there, the nightmare is often at the rendezvous, because you encounter more problems than you benefit from your printer.

To help you choose your printer, in this article we are going to offer you a guide to help you choose your printer better.

Define Your Need and Choose the Right Printer

Defining needs is the most important step, how can you want to buy something if you don't know what you want to do with it? A well-defined need is a well-chosen printer. The main criteria for choosing your equipment are:

1.      Standard printer or Multifunction printer? This clarification is important. Depending on the activity, you will need to scan and copy. In addition, in other circumstances, you will only use the print function (for a Doctor, or a technical control for example)

2.     Black and white printing (monochrome) or color printing? Indeed, some professions use exclusively black and white printing (Monochrome; notaries, lawyers, chartered accountants), while other professions favor color (in commerce for example). The price of the printer will also be different based on this information.

3.     Cartridge or toner?: If you have an inkjet printer, you should choose ink cartridges and if you have a laser printer, you should choose toner cartridges.

4.    High Capacity Cartridge, or High Capacity Toner? To determine the capacity you need, count the number of reams you use per month: 1, 2, or 3? This is a crucial element that influences the choice of equipment adapted to your needs.=

5.     A4 size, A3 printer? From A5 to A1, from Flyers to A3 plans, from printing envelopes to classic A4, determine the formats needed for your prints.

6.    And the connectivity? Wi-Fi, Lan, Eprint, Airprint, USB, Bluetooth… Choose the necessary connectivity according to your environment and your constraints.

7.     And the rest: Paperweight, print quality (DPI), print speed (PPM), duplex, scanner functionality, paper tray capacity, consumable capacity and cost, size and weight, MAC compatibility, decibel level … The better you define your need, the easier it is to target the hardware.

Establish A Selection Of Materials

Once you have defined your needs, you now know the following:

1.      Printer or Multifunction Printer

2.     Black and White or Color

3.     To print 2 reams per month

4.    In A4 and A3

5.     Wi-Fi printer

6.    I want to place it on my corner of the office

7.     Paperweight

All I have to do now is check out the available products. Again, to save time, it is better to contact your supplier. Ask him to offer you two materials, so that you can compare.

Little Bonus: Tips For Choosing The Right Printer

·         When buying your printer, you should know that a printer that is not expensive to buy is more expensive in terms of consumable budget.

·         If you opt for equipment with high-capacity toners, they will be more expensive up front, but you will save money in the long run.

·         Depending on your needs, be free to choose between an inkjet printer or a multifunction laser printer, some brands such as HP, Brother, Canon, and Dell have opted for equipment with an extended warranty, we suggest you make even to ensure your products as well as possible.

·         Consumer reviews will allow you to check the reliability and rating of the equipment. Thanks to the comments of Internet users, you will be fixed before making the purchase.

We compiled a list of three helpful tips you can use to help you prevent your printer from having some of the most common issues.

Tecas. Info : When sourcing a printer you have to consider what you will need the machine for. You have to ask yourself if the printer is for your personal use or for work purposes. Your printer has to be functional as an all-in-one printer. All-in-one printers can scan, copy and print from different trays. Certain varieties can send faxes too. Print resolution is what most people and companies want if detail is an important factor. One of the highest resolutions that you can get is about 4800 by 1200 DPI or dots per inch. This is an incredible number and often increases the value of the printer. Only inkjet printers can produce such high quality print jobs.
