Quick Buying Tips for
Laser and Inkjet Printers
|
3.
Laser printer toner cartridges prices will be higher than inkjet
cartridges prices. But toner cartridges last much longer which makes
their cost per page less in the long term.
4.
Bear in mind that the speeds stated by the manufacturers are often
higher than real life speeds. Inkjet or laser printer's print speeds may
vary depending on many factors such as print mode, system
configuration, page coverage, document complexity and software. So a
typical inkjet printer print speed may vary between 1 to 28 ppm for
black text and 1 to 20 ppm for color photo or graphics. A mid-range
monochrome laser printer’s print speed may vary between 6 to 25 ppm for
sharp black texts and 2 to 20 ppm for black & white graphics. A typical
color laser printer’s print speed will vary between 6 to 20 ppm for
black text and 1 to 12 ppm for color graphics.
5.
If you print a large number of documents each month, make sure the
inkjet or laser printer’s monthly duty cycle is high enough to cover
your needs. Duty Cycle means number of pages a inkjet or laser printer
is able to handle in a month.
