Printers are output devices that give a proper impression of a document or image on paper, transparency, or film. Printers are now available with different technologies and capacities enabling you to buy the exact model as per your requirement. Heavy duty printers capable of producing thousands of impressions everyday, and sensitive printers good enough for thirty pages a day are available across the counter. The options are large and the choice is yours.

Before buying a printer it is important to estimate the exact nature of your output job. In case you are in a business where you need to print about say ten letters a day an inkjet printer is your perfect buy. If however you are is an advertising or publicity business, where quality of your output is of primary importance then a laser printer would be your best option. In case you run a hotel where hundreds of bills are to be typed regularly, then the appropriate choice would be a dot matrix printer. If however, you are running a financial institute where reports running several hundred pages are to be printed regularly then a high speed line printer would give you value for money.

Thus before deciding on a printer, study your exact needs, make a thorough market survey of different options available, seek professional guidance and then finalize the product. It is a well contemplated decision and must not be hurried upon.

Inkjet Printers As the name suggests, these printers use ink as the chief ingredient for making impressions. These printers use blue, red, yellow, and black ink cartridges for taking print outs. Printing is done by the formation of ink bubbles inside inkjet heads. Ink used in these printers is aqueous in nature using a mixture of glycol, water and colored pigments.

Inkjet printers are capable of printing letters, images, and graphs. These are ideal for normal office correspondence, printing of school projects, and preparation of ordinary reports and presentation material. Inkjet printers usually take pages up to legal size and are ideal for homes, small offices, and low profile job works.

Laser Printers Laser printers are ideal office printers having immense capabilities. As these use photocopying principles the printing speed is significantly higher than inkjet printers. Laser printers printing is only one color can reach a speed of up to 200 pages a minute. For full color outputs speed of 100 A4 pages per minute could be achieved. Unlike aqueous fluids as in inkjet printer, laser printers use toners of different colors and fuser for making impressions.

The images are sharp, crisp and dry, and of superior quality. For error free printing laser printers are the best option for your office. Important documents, presentation material, and clean images are best prepared by laser printers. Business laser printers might paper up to A3 size.

All-in-one Devices These equipments carry out both input and output functions in form or scanning and printing respectively. These all-in-one products are even capable of copying documents as in photocopiers. These devices are perfect for homes and SOHO (small office home office) segment. As none of the jobs, namely, printing, copying, and scanning are required extensively in these types of establishments, an all-in-one appliance is the best item.
