What makes a good laser printer??

If you are in the market for a laser printer for your business or office then it could be a good opportunity for you to read up on what makes a good laser printer.

Firstly you'll want to think what you will be using your laser printer for.
Will it be for full colour presentations or just for standard letters?

Colour laser printers usually have 3 colour cartridges and 1 black. A simple mono printer will just use the one black toner cartridge.

Second the PPM speed will be another factor to consider. Will the printer will be in continuous demand? Or will it be for the odd letter with intense demand say once a week?

Thirdly how big is the laser printer you have in mind, will it need to sit on a seperate desk or will its footprint be small enough to allow it to sit next to your computer?

Fourthly do you need the printer to be installed over a network to allow multiple users print their documents and reports?

Historically, per copy, laser printers are cheaper to run than inkjet printers but this is based on usage.

So you will also need to consider other consumables that eventually need replacement - parts such as fuser units, transfer belts as well as your toner cartridges. If parts fail in your printer all at the same time - and based on usage type this can happen - the cost to replace these items can be prohibitively expensive. In some cases costs can be double the cost of the original laser printer so this is something you should consider when buying a laser printer.

Is the printer easy to use?

Is it environmentally friendly, if it is you'll need to look for the Energy Star badge on the machine.
