Printer Ink Cartridges for Home or Office by:Kathryn Dawson
Looking for a printer for your home office? Deciding on the right one for you can
be a difficult decision to make, especially if you are not really sure what each type has to offer.
Printers have come a long way in recent years and these days they come in all shapes and sizes. Basically, there are three types of printers, the inkjet printer, the laser printer and the dot matrix printer. Here is a brief guide on the features of each.
Generally, ink-jet printers are the most popular type of printer as they are not too expensive. They use ink cartridges that can be purchased in black or colour, and can turn out excellent quality graphics, text, documents and spreadsheets and photos. Quality inkjet printers can produce precise and sharp images and are manufactured by some of the leading names in technology, including Epson, Canon, Lexmark, HP, and Ricoh. Suited to both personal and professional use, their specific features include network connectivity options, elevated dpi, integrated memory and memory card slots.
Photo inkjet printers have a broad range of editing options and features which print out clear, pure images. Their ability to catch the vibrant colours and tiny details of the original image is inspiring.
Laser printers offer a premium printing technology that gives a professional end result. They are highly efficient and can meet the business needs of most companies. They are slightly more expensive than other types of printers due to their speed and the quality of the printing they produce. The laser beam guarantees a sharp, clear print quality and extraordinary picture quality and they are suited for all types of documents, whether it is text and documents or photo and image printing.
Most laser printers these days have a standard resolution of 300-1200 dots per inch (dpi), which is sufficient for typical everyday printing and small desktop publishing jobs. If your business calls for larger printing jobs then you should consider investing in a laser printer with a higher dpi. There are more expensive models available with resolutions of up to 2400 dpi that can meet a more demanding printing schedule.
The standard paper size for any printer is 8.5" x 11", your laser printer is also able to cater to various other paper sizes, as well as recycled paper, thick stock paper, transparencies, labels, envelopes, and postcards. Quality laser printers are available from Xerox, Brother, HP, Okidata, Konica Minolta and Lexmark. Choose from laser multifunction printers, wide format laser printers, Mac compatible laser printers, and refurbished laser printers.
Xerox laser printers are well-known as some of the world's best because of their brilliant print quality and efficiency. Turn your old printer into a viable printing center with xerox laser multifunction printers or a similar multifunction laser printer.
Dot matrix printers are a good solid printer that don't focus as much on quality but more on getting actual printed content out in a reliable and methodical manner. They are particularly useful in businesses that have a lot of heavy-duty applications or invoicing to be printed out on a regular basis as they allow for multiple copies of one invoice due to carbon copying.
The advantages of dot matrix printers over the previous models are that they can use continuous paper rolls instead of utilizing individual sheets and have one of the lowest printing costs per page. Some of the world leading dot matrix printers manufacturer's include Okidata, Epson, Tally and Genicom.
Look online for printers where you'll find lots of advice and information on each model and all the leading brands. In addition, the latest inkjet cartridges and accessories such as photo paper can be found. Before buying your printer, ensure you are certain of your business needs and requirements. Be careful to select a model that can offer you all the necessary features, check the types of printer ink cartridges it can accept and and is supplied by a trusted brand.
