Purchasing an office printer – A checklist.

Before buying a business printer, ask yourself the following questions to make sure you invest in the best device.

• Clarify your needs:
  Define precisely what your printer needs to be able to do for you. Which features are essential?
• Think about print volume;
  Estimate how much you are likely to print each month as this will influence the printer you need.
• Print quality and speed:
  You’ll need to consider the print quality and speed, especially if you’re going to need to handle large print jobs.
• Check the features:
  Before making a purchase, make sure the printer you are looking at has the features you need such as scanning, copying, faxing, duplex and colour printing.
• Connectivity:
  Consider the ports you’ll need. WLAN, Ethernet and mobile printing options are the most standard.
• Energy efficiency:
  Find out how much energy the printer will consume as more energy-efficient models will save costs in the long-term.
• Paper management:
  Check the available paper capacity and if the printer you’re thinking of buying can handle different types of paper.
• Security features:
  Features such as encrypted print jobs and access limitations are critical in a business setting.
• Manufacturer and support: Choose well-known manufacturers offering good customer support so you can get the help you need quickly.
• Costs:
  Don’t just think about the purchase price. You’ll need to take into account running costs for toner and maintenance.
• Ecological aspects:
  If sustainability is important, check if the printer has eco certificates and features that will protect resources.
• Trial phases:
  Consider a trial phase to ensure that the printer fulfils all your requirements.
• Compatibility:
  Make sure your printer is compatible with your existing IT systems and software.
• Accessories and upgrades:
  Look into available accessories such as extra paper trays, staplers or upgrades that will add features.
• Warranty conditions:
  Review the warranty conditions and check if there are additional options available.

 

Inkjet or laser – Making the right choice.

Inkjet printers are an excellent choice for offices that need high-quality colour printouts for presentations or graphics as they deliver outstanding colour quality and are affordable. They are also good for smaller office and home use where small print volumes are the norm.

Laser printers, on the other hand, are great anywhere that relies on high print speeds and efficiency to handle large print volumes. They are especially economical when it comes to printing text documents and are characterised by low running costs as toner is cheaper than ink. If you work in an office where a large number of documents are printed every day, a laser printer should be top of your shopping list.

 

Office MFPs.

A multifunction printer (MFP) is perfect for offices that need a number of features packed into a compact device. They combine print, scan, copy, but also sometimes fax capabilities making them a top choice where space is at a premium and for SMEs handling copying and document digitalisation in their day-to-day business. Their versatility and space-saving properties also make them a good choice for use at home. MFPs are also cost-efficient devices as you won’t need to have several separate devices, reducing procurement and maintenance costs and with advanced features such as network capability and mobile print options, they’ll fit seamlessly into your modern, digital workplace.

 

Large format printers.

From architects’ offices and graphic design studios to construction planning, large format printers are used to produce very large print outs. These specialist printers are able to print high-quality documents on materials that are bigger than your standard A4 or A3 making them ideal for posters, banners, technical drawings, maps, large photos and other large-format presentation materials. They can also handle anything from paper to canvas and special plastics for the utmost versatility. Large format printers are an indispensable tool for businesses looking to produce high-quality, over-sized print outs in-house to save time and money engaging external partners. They are increasingly user-friendly and, with advanced print technology, are a worthwhile investment for every business that regularly needs large-format documents and marketing materials.

 

Work remotely with mobile printers.

Mobile printers are an innovative solution for people and businesses often on the go or working from different locations such as tradespeople and doctors on house calls. These compact, usually battery-powered devices give them the impressive flexibility and the ability to print directly from smartphone, tablets and notebooks via WLAN, Bluetooth or USB. Ideal for field workers, event managers, site supervisors and also travellers, mobile printers help you quickly create documents, invoices, labels and tickets without having to hunt down a stationary device. Many models are robust so they can be used in challenging environments while their light weight and compact size allow them to be easily transported. Invest in a mobile printer to considerably boost efficiency and flexibility in remote work environments and enjoy fast and effective printing capabilities wherever you are.
