Look out for...
What to look for when buying a colour laser printer:
- Print speed: Should be based upon the amount of users that will be using the printer as well as the average volume that is going to be printed per month.
- Print quality: Most printers print at 600x600 dpi (dots per inch) but some use exclusive technologies that offer printing resolutions equivalent to printing at 2400 dpi and higher.
- 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.
- Finishers: The type of finishers that can be attached varies between vendors but the types of finishers are not limited to only punchers, staplers, stackers, and booklet finishers.
