Thus now we can see that little corner of the guest room or living room which we have converted into our ‘temporary office’. You can enable it as your ‘office’ and that too for simple. And to turn it into a ‘perfect office’, here’s a look at the basics of choosing a printer. Which are suitable as well as your needs.
Key factors to consider
Before choosing one or another model, evaluate the use that you will give to your future equipment, the volume of pages that you are going to print (individual and professional), the space that you have at home or if you will need your prints to be in color or in black and white
1/ Balanced performance
The magic formula to meet your future printing demands. Before deciding on a team, keep in mind that there is a balance between capacity and printing speed.
2/ Total connection
Your life and your work is already online. When choosing equipment, check that it has a WIFI connection. You can place it in the place you want in your home and it will allow you to print from your mobile or tablet, without even needing to turn on the computer.
3/ Cost per page
It is evident that your printing volume will have decreased since you are at home, but in the long run, opting for one team or another can mean very important savings for your pocket.
We give you some keys: ink printers are the best option due to their low energy consumption and low cost per print.
Take another note: opt for models with high-capacity cartridges that will allow you to print on both sides.
4/ Rent or buy
The formulas to support the self-employed, SMEs and ‘teleworkers’ have skyrocketed. Whether the decision is up to you or your company’s task, keep in mind that leasing is an optimal option:
affordable monthly fee for a piece of equipment that includes transportation and installation, maintenance, technical support, including changing cartridges/ toner, and the support and training you and your employees need.
5/ Space
Not all of us have mansions. Maximizing the space we have is vital. Over time, the office will move to our home: that little pile of reports will grow and grow and with it the rest of the office supplies and gadgets that will turn that small island home into a continent.
Measure and evaluate the space you have for your printer. Fortunately, the offer is very wide: a small team can already be a multitask.
6/ Laser, ink or multifunction
We already gave you a note in point 3, but here we expand on it. It is the turn to talk about the type: laser, ink or multifunction.
Laser printers: A luxury a few years ago, somewhat more affordable today. We have them in color, black and white (cheaper), and they provide the plus of a higher number of pages per minute (PPM) than ink. While it is true that their cartridges are more expensive, the higher print quality and a high PPM range balances the scales.
Inkjet printers: quality at a reduced price. Although they have the drawback that they take longer to print than a laser, with a good configuration and a good paper, you can obtain professional quality at a low cost. They are compact and ideal for small businesses that need to control expenses.
Multifunction: print, copy, send and receive faxes, nothing can resist a multifunction. We have laser and ink; with double-sided printing to reduce paper consumption by half, with wireless connection and even the possibility of scanning documents and saving them in the cloud. Against them: they need space.
Whether you already know what equipment to acquire for your employees or the one you are going to propose to your company or if you are still thinking about it, we invite you to contact us.
Our team of experts will study your case and give you the best option, as well as a completely free printing savings plan.
In addition, we have an extensive catalog of variety of printers, a world reference in printing, adapted to all pockets and needs.
