Modern color laser printers offer high-volume printing at lightning speed. They’ve even become more eco-friendly and durable. If you’re unsure about what type of color laser printer you need, here are some features to consider.
What makes laser printers so desirable is the crisp, bold, and professional-looking prints on a variety of paper types and sizes. A typical laser printer’s resolution is 600 x 600 dpi. A high-resolution machine can produce 2400 x 600 dpi for printing photographs and documents with text, charts, and images.
Laser printers produce more prints per toner cartridge than ink cartridges. Also, toner cartridges for these machines are recyclable and reusable, reducing waste and unnecessary costs. The cost to print one color page is pennies and a laser printer can print 25 to 100 pages per minute from low-end to high-end printers... .
You can expect a desktop color laser printer to last anywhere from 3-5 years—or longer. As with any piece of equipment, the duty cycle—light or heavy—should tell you how long it is expected to last. Additionally, storage of a toner cartridge or paper stock and proper replacement of a fuser should lengthen the life expectancy of your laser printer.
Another consideration of a laser printer is its size. At Connection, we offer a wide variety of color laser printers that are a perfect match for all business types including retail, industrial, medical, professional, educational, and governmental settings. Printers range from lightweight and compact to larger options with ample paper storage, duplex printing, collating, stapling, and scanning capabilities. Plan for where you will store your printer—such as on a countertop or in a mailroom.
One last key feature of any color laser printer is its connectivity and compatibility with your systems. At Connection, you’ll find laser printers with USB ports, wireless connectivity, and RJ-45 networking capability. Print from a flash drive, a mobile device, or a networked computer for quick and easy color copies for a meeting or presentation. Our laser printer gurus at Connection can guide you through the features your business or organization may need from a color laser printer.
