What laser printer is right for you?

First let's look at the types of laser printers on the market today.

We will review 3 types of laser printers out there today.

Monochrome printers "also known as laser printers". These printers print in black and white and only use one laser scanner assembly. The "cost per page" is lower than a color LaserJet printer. For small business and home use laser printers can offer a significant savings over a color LaserJet printer. Laser printers can be purchased for under $200. For more high-volume printing these can run up $1000 depending on the model. Some even come in wide format (Up to 11" x 17"); these are sometimes called 11x17 printers.

Color Laser Printers also know as "color LaserJet printers" have two or more scanner assemblies and have 4 colors cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Color LaserJet printers have a higher "cost-per-page" production cost than monochrome printers do. A color LaserJet printer can be purchased for under $300. For more high-volume printing these can run up to $1000 depending on the model.

All-In-One Printers combine copying, printing, scanning, and faxing into on printer. These are available in both inkjet and laser technologies. Inkjet will typically cost less than laser, although laser printers are decreasing in price as they become more popular. And if you want to save even more money you can buy refurbished All-In-One printers at deep discounts.

Decision time.

In deciding which printer to buy you have to ask yourself 4 questions.

1. How much printing are you going to be doing?

2. Do you want to print in color or black in white

3. Do you want to copy, print, scan, or fax?

4. How much do you have to spend?

After answering these four questions you will be on your way to selecting the best laser printer for your needs.

Want to save even more money?

You can save up to 20 to 50% off retail if you purchase a refurbished laser printer.

Refurbished laser printers are printers that have been rebuilt to factor standards by trained and certified technicians. Most of these printers come with a 90 day warranty. If you are in the market for a printer this is a great way to save a tone of money.

History of the laser printer.

Laser printers have been around since the 1970. The first laser printer was invented in 1969 by a researcher at Xerox. Since then cost of laser printers has fallen dramatically over the years. In 1984, the HP LaserJet sold for $3500. Now you can buy one for under $200.
