28 Oct How to Determine the Right Printer for Your Business
Your office’s printer is the hub of your business, and having the wrong printer for your company’s size and business needs can cause delays, productivity issues, and inefficiencies. Here are some helpful tips on choosing the right printer for your business:
Determine Your Budget for Printer and Supplies
The first thing you should do when choosing a new printer for your office is to create a budget. Consider not only the cost of buying or leasing a printer, but the cost of toner or ink, paper, and maintenance. You may find that you end up having only a few options in your price range, making your decision much easier.
Consider the Size and Volume of Your Business
If you only print things once a week, you don’t need a heavy duty office printer. But if you print large volumes of material every day, or have complex printing needs, you should choose a larger commercial printer. For instance, if you know you have to print out hundreds of court pleadings every day, make copies of huge volumes of documents, or print a weekly bulletin that requires sorting and binding, you won’t be able to meet your office’s needs using a small desktop printer.
Compare Leasing vs. Buying a Printer
In some situations, buying a printer outright makes the most economic sense. If you need a small printer that won’t need much maintenance and you have the budget for printer supplies, you’ll find it is more cost-effective to buy than lease. But if you need a commercial printer, copier, and scanner that will get a lot of use, need frequent maintenance, and requires costly supplies, leasing will be a much more budget-friendly option.
