To any business owner, the decision of what type of office equipment to purchase is an important one. Most companies create and store their documents on their computers, but they eventually need to be printed. Therefore, when it comes to deciding on a reliable printer, investing in a laser printer has stronger benefits than settling for an inkjet printer in the long run.

Laser printer cartridges yield more prints at a quicker speed and with a better resolution. Laser printers use powdered toner and heat to fuse the powder to paper. Lasers apply electric charges to the areas where toner is required. Inkjet printers require water soluble inks; these are sprayed onto the paper by jets. This type of ink can sometimes get smeared when it becomes wet. The laser printers toner cartridge holds a large amount of toner and can usually print around 3,000 to 5,000 pages depending on brand and type. While it is slightly more expensive than an ink jet cartridge, it has a much longer printing life and provides quality images.

Most laser printers now offer the same type of features that inkjet printers have. They can print on different types and sizes of papers and the toner is slightly cheaper than the ink used in inkjet printers and they tend to last a lot longer. Laser printers are generally quieter than inkjet printers. This could be of great significance in a quiet office where the printer is in a central location. Another excellent feature of laser printers is that most arrive network ready right out of the box, meaning they include all of the necessary connections and software to walk you through the complete set-up process.

Did you know that laser printers also come in a multi function variety? Yes, you can save both space and money by combining printing, scanning, fax, and copy functions all into one machine.
