How to choose a printer that will do the work for you

These days, the printer has evolved in a very remarkable way. Printers started out with the dot matrix type which was very difficult to use. Dot matrix printers are the ones that print very strongly and it is difficult to feed them with the paper.

Now laser printers and inkjet printers have replaced dot matrix printers. How do you choose the perfect printer for the job? Below are five of the most important qualities to look for when choosing a printer.

The most important factor to consider is resolution. Resolution is the number of dots a printer prints in one square inch. Your old dot matrix printer couldn’t print in high resolution. Inkjet printers are perfect for this. A good quality printer with high resolution can produce 1440 by 720 dpi.
The operating cost of the printer should also be considered. The speed of the printer is very important, especially if you are using it in the office. Laser printers are perfect in this regard, documents of 80 to 100 pages can be printed in a very short time. Laser printers are also very cost effective to run as their cartridges are not replaced very often.

Printers that are photo lab quality are essential if you are looking for a printer that can print high resolution images on photo paper. Those who often use printers to print images should get dye sublimation type printers. With this type of printer, the dots are softer, which makes images appear sharper.

Print volume per minute is essential if you are printing a large number of black and white documents. There are printers with a lower resolution of about 400 by 400 dpi that can print about 70 black and white pages in a minute.

The size of the print should also be considered. There are certain printers that can print all sizes of documents, large or small. The usual paper size is 8.5 by 11, but for these types of printers, you can print documents from envelope to tabloid size.
In order to select the perfect printer for your needs, you must first determine where the printer will be used. If you are interested in printing photos then a photo printer is necessary, but if you are more interested in printing documents then rugged printers with fast printing are appropriate to use. High resolution is important, however, it must be matched to the speed, quality and price of printing.
Keeping the above specifications in mind, you will be able to buy the right printer that meets your requirements.
