Determining Which Printer Is Right for You
Use the following questions to help you identify which printer features are important when selecting the correct printer to meet your needs.
There are several types of portable, smaller printers designed for on-the-go use that feature rugged cases and battery power. For the size, however, you will sacrifice the ability to print large volumes and lose many of the bells and whistles of bigger printers.
For photos, most inkjet models are quite capable of printing quality photos on several different types and sizes of photo media. For more professional applications, there are several types of higher-end photo printers of different sizes and capabilities. Many have battery power for field work, as well as ports for connecting to media, such as SD cards and directly to a camera.
It depends on how much you are willing to spend. Like most technology that is developing, the best gadgets are going to come with the highest price tag. There are printers out there that will make you a boat, but it will require a very large printer, and an awful lot of expensive plastic filament spools. For the parent who just wants to experiment with toys or basic household items, there are some reasonably priced models on the market.
The rule of thumb is to buy a printer that has more memory (RAM) than you need for everyday use. When in doubt, however, buy a model that can at least be upgraded. Memory is directly linked to speed and quality. If you want to print quickly and produce higher-quality graphics, you'll want more memory. Most printer models are upgradeable. If you need more memory to handle either a higher volume or larger job, some models come with built-in SD card slots to easily add more memory to your printer.
Security is paramount when working with several different users, especially if sensitive information will be printed. Many office printers offer security options, including user-authentication features that require ID badges or passwords. Stored data-protection features and encryption can be used to help protect stored information, and network monitoring software can detect problematic viruses.
The key is to buy a printer that can handle anything. A quality multi-function laser printer will be the best bet for the money. These all-in-one printers combine a printer, fax machine, copier, and scanner, so an MFP may be the more economical choice. Many models feature USB and Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as memory card bays, auto-duplexers, and auto feeders.
A simple workhorse black-and-white or color laser printer will suffice, depending on the printed documents. These machines, which use toner cartridges to print documents and feature higher print speeds than inkjets, can produce crisp text documents and sharp color graphics for spreadsheets, brochures, and newsletters. Look for a model with an output tray that can handle more sheets of paper than you'll produce in a day. Otherwise, production could be delayed if the tray fills up before it can be emptied.
