WHAT PRINTER SHOULD I BUY?

For most people, this really is a perplexing query as you will discover a lot of selections are available to you.

The solution to resolving this query will be to do some significant thinking as to what you are going to need the printer for, and after that to analysis the market place for all those type of printers by going to the diverse printer review evaluation internet pages. You may even look at technically inclined forums including PCreview or Whirlpool.


But for now, lets go back to the essential uses you could have for your printer.

 A single technique to make the determination of what is the proper printer for you personally will be to set out your specifications for the printer, and these can be broken down as follows, assuming that the minimal requirement is met in every situation:
1. Speed of printing pages ? (a) not vital, (b) at times essential, (c) crucial
2. Quality of print ? (a) not critical, (b) a necessary level (c) essential
3. Colour print ? (a) no requirement (b) occasional colour (c) photo top quality
4. Usage ? (a) printing only (b) copying, faxing, and scanning
5. No of 'printer users ? (a) just your personal computer system (b) some computers inside a home or perhaps a compact workplace (c) many computers

When determining  the above selection criteria, keep in mind the saying "champagne tastes - beer prices".
 In other words, deciding on the ideal of every option to make a decision can be way above what it is possible to afford. What's the point in saying you wish for a good quality print with colour when you really only require a printer to sustain recipes and household account records.
Apart from figuring out the above variables, it is best to also place the 5 above specifications into a priority. For instance, if you are a photographer just beginning out using a restricted spending budget, your priority would most likely be along the lines of three, two, one, four, and five. The usual residence requirement may be two, three, four, five and one.
 It's very much a matter of personal perception,as to what printer you wish to obtain, but what undertaking this exercise does is enable you to establish what your hot points are. As an example, in the event you run a business enterprise that creates substantial volumes of documents for example a legal firm, then your requirement will be as follows:
1 - crucial
 5 - a lot of printer users
 4 - quick copying is usually a high requirement
 2 - occasionally significant
 3 -  no requirement

Essentially the decision making in this case is revolving around the fact that we do quite a bit of printing and we've five solicitors and three clerical staff all with printing needs, that good quality, so long as it's acceptable will not be a high priority, and that you simply don't use colour.

if you apply the above criteria to your own needs, this should help you in determining what type of printer you need.
