2 You Have To Purchase A Printer For The Office. What Points Will You Consider While Purchasing?
Given the size of the investment, it is important to make sure that I buy the best for the budget provided to me. My tip would be doing not just buy the printer with the largest number of functions if many will not be used. In the same vein, it is unwise to buy the cheapest model available, as replacement and upkeep costs may make it ultimately more expensive than its higher-priced counterparts.
One of the first and basic decisions to make, and one that can have a huge impact on cost, is whether the office needs a black and white or a color printer. Colour printers tend to be significantly more expensive both in initial investment as well as long-term costs such as replacement ink. If the bulk of in-office printing comes in the form of text documents and memos, opting for a black and white printer may be the best choice.
