If you’re starting a new business or updating the office supplies in an established one, the first choice you will have to make is what kind of printer you will supply your office with.
This can be a daunting task, especially because there are so many options out there. To help narrow down what’s best for your company, we’ve highlighted the two most popular – Inkjet and Laser Printers – as well as the pros and cons of each.
Inkjet Printers
Pros: Inkjets are the show ponies of the printer world. They are known to print crisp, sharp documents and photos ideal for presentations. The size of these printers is usually smaller, making them easier and cheaper to replace if they experience issues.
Cons: Typically, Inkjet Printers are used in-home or for casual printing jobs. This is because their ink cartridges are smaller then most, allowing only smaller quantities to be printed.
Laser Printers
Pros: Laser Printers were created with the commercial environment in mind and geared to print in bulk. Nine times out of ten, these machines are almost always are more efficient in their use of toner when compared to their Inkjet counterparts.
Cons: However because of their printing speed and size, a Laser Printer is likely to cost much more than an Inkjet. In the event of a breakdown, replacement of these machines can be pricier then most.
