Whether you are purchasing 20 printers for a business or one for home, it is not easy to make a decision. There is such a wide range of both inkjet printers and color laser printers available that you can easily be overwhelmed. Before you even speak with a salesperson, think through the features that are essential for the kind of usage, do some research online and review the following information.

Inkjet Printers

If you operate a home-based business, telecommute from your company's office, or just need to run off paperwork for all those community volunteer jobs you hold, you need to have a reliable, cost effective printer. The best solution can be found among the inkjet printers at your local electronic shop. The features you are looking for might include capacity for:

- Printing in black and white or color
- Scanning
- Printing photos in various sizes
- Processing bond, card stock and photographic paper
- Printing envelopes, labels and business cards
- Printing from networked computers
- Printing from compatible mobile devices such as iPhones or iPads
- Wireless printing
- Printing faxes
- High color resolution; e.g. 9600x2400 dpi with five individual ink tanks

It is not always easy to make a decision with a salesperson in front of you, so do some research on the internet first. Your selection should depend on what you need. If you have one computer and will be printing only the occasional email or recipe, a simple basic machine will do the job. However, if you must be able to print high-resolution colored diagrams from your business files, you will need a higher end model. Remember that you can print black and white document on a printer with a color function. Ask questions of friends and colleagues who do similar work with their printers.

Color Laser Printers

For most applications, and given the choice, most organizations and individuals prefer to use color laser printers. Laser printers do not require ink, and instead use toner, which is a mixture of plastic and iron particles that are melted onto paper by heated rollers in what is called a fuser unit.
