Which Graphic Printer Suits Your Needs, And Your Budget?

Graphic Printers are available in two basic types

, laser and inkjet. Laser printers are further divided into monochrome and color formats. Whether you should choose a laser or inkjet printer depends partly on your budget, but the decision mainly hinges on your printing requirements.

If you plan toprint mostlytext documents with or without graphics (grayscale photos, line art, charts, etc.), then a laser printer is the right choice. Laser printers are capable of printing much higher-quality text and line art than inkjet printers, and they are usually good at rendering grayscale images, including photos. Laser printers are also faster than inkjet printers, and they offer lower per-page printing costs.

If you need to print color documents (other than photos), and print quality is more important than upfront cost, consider a color laser printer.

If you want to print color photos, and print speeds and text output quality aren't at the top of your priority list, then an inkjet or photo inkjet printer is the better choice.

If your printer will be shared over a home or business network, be sure that it supports a wired or wireless connection. Some printers are network-ready out of the box, while some are available in standalone and network-ready versions.

Print resolution is another area that can be misleading. Inkjet printers deliver resolutions that are usually off the charts compared to a laser printer, but because of the difference in technology, text or line art printed on an inkjet printer will never come close to matching the crispness of text or line art printed on a laser printer.

Paper capacity can be an important factor. Many laser printers ship with a 250-sheet paper input tray, which sounds generous until it's time to refill it. If you do a lot of printing in a day, there's nothing more annoying than stopping frequently to refill the paper tray.

Print speed : You should be most concerned about print speed if your printer will be used regularly by multiple employees, or if you often run large print jobs.

Memory capacity may be a factor, particularly if you print graphics-heavy documents. Laser printers ship with enough memory to handle multiple print jobs, but if you print large or graphics-heavy documents, additional memory can free up your computer faster. Even if you can't afford to add memory now, look for a printer that offers an expandable memory option.
