Whether you are currently shopping for a new copier or you have just gotten fed up with your old monochrome device, there are a lot of things that you need to consider before you buy a new copier. In addition to cost, you will want to factor in other considerations like your intended use for the copier, it is possible that you can even get the results that you need from your current copier. Before you use your budget on getting a new copier, you must know what your creative and professional needs are and find a copier that can best accommodate those needs.
Do I need a new printer?
Some people do not like using older printer models. The reasons depend, some may think it does not look professional enough, some may not even have a high resolution, and for some people it may give an unsatisfactory printing experience. Whatever your reasons are for getting a new copier, it may be worth reconsidering that old, dependable device that you have had in your home or office for the last few years. With some modifications, you may be able to get like-new print quality from your tried-and-true printer.
What are my print needs?
If you have decided that your old printer can no longer be saved and you are determined to get a new one, you may find yourself wondering what to do next. One of the most important factor to consider when weighing your options is what you will be using your device for. If you are looking for a printer to use at home, then you may have different needs than if you were getting a shared printer to use at your office. Consider what you need and how you can meet those needs before you commit to purchasing a device that won’t serve you well.
Where will this printer be used?
In addition to considering what your print needs are, you also need to consider where the new printer will be set up. A desktop inkjet printer for your home does not leave much to consider, but what about a massive, free-standing MFP laser printer at your office? Some department printers are like a piece of furniture, while other smaller printers may still be too large for desktop use. Consider where your new printer will ideally be set up and whether or not you can accommodate a printer in that location.
What kind of product specs should I look for?
You have made up your mind on what kind of printer would best meet your needs, but you are not out of the water yet. Even after the laser printer vs. inkjet decision and the home vs. office use choice, you will still need to check a number of printer models that fall under each category. This question boils down to performance, what do you need from your printer in terms of colour capabilities, print quality and print speed? If you will be using your printer to produce photos for work or school and you need professional results, consider a photo printer that accepts more than just magenta, black, cyan and yellow cartridges. Some printer models also accept additional ink cartridge colours like green, red, photo cyan and photo magenta.
How much should I expect to spend?
Another important factor to consider is the cost of the printer. If you are going to buy a printer for your office and if you are going to use a business expense account, cost is less of a concern. But if you are paying for your printer out-of-pocket, you may need to consider how much the printer costs. You will also need to consider the hidden cost of buying a new one, like how much the ink or toner will cost.
