We all know what printers are but are often confused which one to get for ourselves, right? Well, printers mainly come in two types : inkjet and laser printers. They both come with their set of advantages and disadvantages. It all boils down to what you want to primarily use it for. Let’s take a look:
Inkjet printers
In inkjet printers, printing is done through inkjet technology. This device works by spraying droplets of ink onto paper. The ink is stored in disposable ink cartridges - each colour has a different cartridge. Fitting these cartridges in hardly take a few seconds so setting up is a piece of cake! Inkjets are more affordable and hence commonly used in businesses and at homes. These were first manufactured in the late 1970s mainly by three big names: Hewlett Packard, Epson and Canon. An inkjet printer can also be a wireless printer.
Advantages of inkjets
Inkjets are a favourite when it comes to printing photos for they are known to create rich images with vivid colours.
Most inkjet printers are multi-functional devices. This means they come with a copy, scan, fax along with a print function. This is why you will see most offices using them.
What we love most about this printer is the fact that it starts real quick! They do not need a warm up time and are ready to print the moment you plug them in.
Not only do they start immediately, but they make very less noise while printing when compared to laser printers.
Inkjet printers do not take up much space as they are quite compact, making them light and portable too!
Although ink cartridges get over faster when compared to a laser toner, they are cheap to replace! So don’t worry about having to refill the cartridges.
However you should also remember that an inkjet printer is slow. Bottom line: if you think you’ll be printing a lot of photos along with text, and are looking for something cheap, this is for you.
Laser printers
Laser printers make use of a laser beam to transfer images and text onto paper. Nowadays a lot of people are opting for a colour laser printer for its high speed and precision!
Advantages of a laser printer
When it comes to quality, a laser printer is known to produce high-quality text but their image quality falls short when compared to the results from an inkjet. But nothing can beat them when it comes to printing text pages. You can print upto 20 pages per minute!
There is no risk of ink leakage or smearing of ink because it does not use ink in the first place
Laser printers could be a little more expensive than inkjets but you won’t have to spend too much on running them for once you buy a laser toner, it will stay for a long, long time. Their toners in fact stay for a longer time when compared to ink cartridges. Hence when it comes to laser printers, it’s not surprising that the cost per page can be surprisingly less!
Bottom line: if you’re looking at speed and at printing large text documents, then a laser printer is for you.
