Let’s find you that printer!
Why You Need to Get the Right Printer From the Get-Go
As you’ve found yourself reading my article, you’re probably already in a situation where your printer is failing to keep up with your needs. You might feel like running out and grabbing the first flashy-looking printer you come across.
Anything’s better than what you’ve already got right?
Well, not quite. Making a hasty decision without investing the time into selecting the right device will likely lead you right back to where you started. By taking the necessary steps to choose a printer that meets your specific requirements, you can reap several benefits:
- Enhanced Productivity: A suitable printer can handle your printing needs efficiently, ensuring that you can meet deadlines and complete tasks promptly. It eliminates unnecessary delays and keeps your workflow running smoothly.
- Improved Efficiency: Investing in the right printer can significantly reduce downtime and maintenance requirements. You won’t have to waste precious time troubleshooting printer issues or waiting for repairs. Instead, you can focus on your core business activities.
- Cost Savings: An inadequate printer choice can lead to increased costs over time. It may require frequent repairs, consume excessive amounts of ink or toner, or have a short lifespan. By selecting the right printer initially, you can avoid unnecessary expenses and optimise your printing budget.
The Top Five Factors to Consider When Picking a Printer
Now we know why it’s important to ensure you have the right printer from the get-go. But what exactly should you be looking for?
Let’s take a closer look at these five crucial factors that should shape your decision-making process:
#1 Print Volume and Speed
Understanding your print volume requirements and desired printing speed is crucial in choosing the right printer. Take into account factors such as the number of documents you need to print daily, the number of employees who will use the printer and any future growth projections.
If you’re looking for a small business with a low to moderate print volume then maybe can opt for a compact and cost-effective printer. At the other end of the spectrum, a large corporation with a high print volume might need a more robust and fast printer.
#2 Print Quality and Resolution
Print quality and resolution play a vital role, particularly for businesses where image and document quality are essential. You will need to consider the nature of your printed materials and the industry you operate in.
If your business relies on professional-looking brochures, marketing materials, or presentations, you’ll want a printer that can deliver sharp, crisp, and vibrant prints. On the other hand, if most of your printing involves internal documents or basic text-based materials, a printer with the standard print quality might suffice.
#3 Additional Functions
When considering a printer for your business, it’s essential to evaluate whether you need it to do anything beyond basic printing. Do you need to copy documents? Make professional-looking marketing material? Are you one of the few people still sending faxes in 2023?
Here are some of the functions to think about and what features are worth considering:
- Scanning and Copying: If your business frequently deals with paper documents that need to be digitised or duplicated, choose a printer with a built-in scanner. You will definitely need to find a device with sufficient scanning resolution and features like automatic document feeders (ADF) and duplex copying are also important if you work in high volumes!
- Booklets and Brochures: If your business frequently produces booklets or brochures for catalogues, manuals, or informational materials, look for a printer that offers this capability. Alongside high-quality colour printing, these printers typically have features like automatic duplex printing, stapling, and folding options to streamline the booklet production process.
- Faxing: Believe it or not many industries still rely on fax communications! If you are one of these businesses that require faxing, definitely consider a printer with built-in fax capabilities to streamline your faxing needs.
By considering these additional features, you can find a multifunction printer that consolidates your document-related tasks and improves overall efficiency within your organisation!
#4 Paper Handling and Media Compatibility
Every business has unique printing requirements when it comes to paper handling and media compatibility. Consider the paper sizes you commonly use, such as letter, legal, or tabloid.
Additionally, if your business requires printing on special media like envelopes, labels, or glossy paper, ensure that the printer you choose supports these options. Some printers offer advanced paper handling capabilities, such as automatic duplexing (printing on both sides of the paper) or multiple paper trays, which can improve workflow efficiency.
#5 Connectivity and Network Integration
In today’s interconnected world, the connectivity and network integration features of a printer are crucial for seamless printing workflows. Evaluate the connectivity options the printer offers, such as USB, Ethernet, or wireless connections.
If you have multiple devices or need to share the printer across a network, ensure that the printer supports the necessary network protocols and can integrate smoothly into your existing infrastructure. This enables employees to print wirelessly from their laptops, desktops, or mobile devices, resulting in increased convenience and flexibility.
