What to look for
Sample scenario
How we tested - Print Quality: Most printers print at 600x600 dpi but some use exclusive technologies that offer printing resolutions equivalent to printing at 2400dpi.
- Total Cost of Ownership: Look at the initial cost as well as the cost of replacing toners. It's also worth comparing the cost per page between various printers.
- Paper Capacity: Check to see the number of pages it can hold and the paper sizes it supports.
- Expansion Potential: What's the maximum amount of memory that the printer can hold? Can you fit a hard disk or duplexer to the printer as well as any additional paper trays and output bins.
