Buying a New Printer? Six Factors to Consider

Here are a few things to think about when buying a new printer to ensure you get the best deal on the best machine.

Your price range. Manufacturers sell inkjet printers cheaply, then make money when customers return to buy overpriced ink. Laser printers cost more up front, but they tend to be more economical over time.

Your type of printing. Printers nowadays can be highly specialized to a certain type of use.

Your volume. Studies have shown that laser printers are much more economical when printing in volume.

Your space. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny personal use machines to husky business printers designed for high-volume use and more complex graphics.

Your computer and operating system. Most printers work with both Macs and PC's. But some aren't readily compatible with certain operating systems-Linux requires specialized drivers that can be hard to find. In addition, some printers only connect to computers via a USB port-which not all computers have.

The price of cartridges. To make sure you're getting the best deal, first take a look at the cost of cartridges and factor that into the cost of the printer. Avoid printers that have three-in-one cartridges. And if you can, avoid cartridges with Smart Chips.

Finding the right printer takes time-and you'll often have to look beyond the sticker price to figure out whether or not you're really getting the best deal. But a little research can go a long way, and in the end you'll find the time you spent is worth it.
