Home Printers: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. There are two main types of printers: inkjet and laser. Inkjet printers effectively spray layers of ink down onto a page. This creates text or images by adhering thousands of tiny dots of color to the paper passing through the unit. Laser printers use scanning beam of light that attracts toner onto paper via a static electric charge. The differences in between the two come with many pros and cons, depending on your personal needs.
Fact #2. Inkjets operate more slowly than laser printers. Many affordable options can churn out more than two dozen pages per minute. They're perfect for printing out long documents like a complex tax return or a thesis paper. They also tend to be more expensive than their inkjet counterparts. Even the cost of toner will tend to be more than ink cartridges. But they do tend to be more efficient, and ultimately cost effective.
Fact #3. For basic documents, look for paper with a brightness rating of 90 and a rated weight of about 20 lbs. That approximates the going average used in copy machines at busy offices. It's suitable for a printout that you don't intend to keep forever. The higher the brightness and weight, the better quality will be achieved. For laser printers, heat sensitive paper should be watched out for. Anything with a gloss finish or an applied seal may be damaged by the unit.
Fact #4. Hard copies of documents can never be lost due to a technological glitch. On the flip side, many feature scanners can also be used to upload analog documents or photos. That way you can preserve them on a disk, computer, or the cloud. Either way, they can help make sure that you don't lose access to important records.
Fact #5. You can find a perfectly decent printer suitable for almost every use for well under $100. These are devices capable of printing, scanning, sending and receiving faxes. They also have wireless features. This can seem frivolous. Tucking one into a closet or under a desk can save you space and hassle.
