The Printerland Guide to Laser Printers
Last Updated on June 16, 2020 by Christian Ralph
Buying a new laser printer can be a daunting task for even the most tech savvy customer. This guide will outline the benefits of laser printing and also help you decide if a laser printer is the best choice for your needs.
Laser Printer Speed
As a general rule, laser printer technology is vastly superior to inkjet printing in terms of print speeds. The addition of duplex printing technology which allows users to print automatically on both sides of the paper eliminates time wasted turning sheets over manually. This makes laser printers the perfect choice for fast paced offices and home users who print large amounts.
Laser Printer Quality
Due to the fact that laser printing actually fuses the toner particles to the paper, this means there is no risk of smudging when compared to inkjet printing. This makes laser printers perfectly suited for producing crystal clear text prints and vividly detailed graphics. Browse our range of colour laser printers here
Laser Printer Economy
Don’t be fooled by the higher price of Laser printers when comparing to inkjet printers. The overall running costs of laser printers are far cheaper in the long run. Laser printer toners are much higher capacity than ink jet cartridges meaning overall cost per page is lower than inkjet counterparts and the need for toner renewal is also greatly reduced.
Once again, laser printers which are capable of duplex printing can help to dramatically reduce both time and money by printing automatically on both sides of the paper. This function is particularly useful when printing text documents.
Mono or Colour laser Printers?
If you require a printer which will be predominately used for printing text, then a mono laser printer may be the right choice for you. However, if you regularly print charts, photos and other colour images than a colour laser printer would be the perfect choice for you.
