Questions

Why use a laser printer over an inkjet?

Inkjet printers have lower prices upfront. Their ink cartridges are cheaper than toner cartridges. Inkjets are great for printing photos, images with vivid colors, and better if you print on heat-sensitive material.

However, if you’re printing enough black-and-white paper documents, laser printing is more cost efficient and much faster. If you print lots of long documents with graphs and images in them, a color laser printer is a worthy investment. If your documents are black and white only, a monochrome is great value.

Laser printers tend to be larger with more bulk and weight, but OEMs do offer compact laser printers if device mobility is a requirement.

Why are monochrome laser printers popular?

The top selling laser printers for B2B customers are monochromes. Why buy a printer that prints only hues of black?

Frequent blank and white document printing wears on inkjet printers; also sometimes ink text looks fuzzy on standard office paper, and self-cleaning drains ink cartridges quickly. The total cost of ownership adds up and it makes sense to buy a laser printer if your printing needs are mostly documents.

A monochrome printer tends to have a lower price per page than color laser printers, and inkjets produce nicer color images. If a company has dual needs—bulk black-and-white printing and occasional color printing—they usually buy both. A monochrome laser and a color inkjet gives you quality printing for most situations.

How do you match printer durability to your company needs?

Manufacturers rate printer durability by duty cycle, the number of pages per month it is tested to withstand. Calculate how much your business prints looking at paper costs over a few years. Make a rough calculation with that data, and consider the trajectory of your needs—remember to plan for five years.

Can you print over a Wi-Fi network safely?

Most laser printers connect over a wireless network for convenient mobile printing in a BYOD office. A Wi-Fi printer reduces cable clutter, and connects to cloud storage which enables remote employees to print files on the office printer. Professional grade printers accommodate network security configurations to enforce privacy policy.

What is the difference between all-in-one and multifunction?

A printer that functions as a copier, scanner, and fax machine is called an all-in-one (AIO) or multi-function peripheral (MFPs). The difference is networking—MFP connects to a network, and an AIO interfaces with a computer though USB. Either works great for cutting down equipment costs and space in compact office settings. An MFP works well for a business that wants set printing policies on a user-by-user basis.
