With so many choices in on the market today, the task of selecting the right printer is often overwhelming. Asking yourself a few essential simple questions can take the guesswork out of buying a new printer. First, you should determine what you are going to be using the printer for. Then find out how fast your printer needs to be. You should also consider whether or not you will need to print in color and whether or not you only need a printer or a multifunction unit. An MFC (multifuntion) unit is able to handle not only printing, but also copying, faxing and scanning. Additional features such as duplex (double-sided) printing and wireless printing are options that are also available on the market today. Keep in mind that many printers today allow you to print directly from mobile devices as well as allow you to upload scanned documents without the use of a computer.
When purchasing a printer, it is always a good idea to inquire about the cost of replacement cartridges as well as the cartridge yield options. Some printers are going to be very inexpensive up front, but the cost of replacement toner or ink might quickly exceed the printer cost. Whenever possible, purchase a printer that accepts high yield cartridges. Although they might cost more up front, the cost per page printed will be much lower.
