Laser or Inkjet Printer: Choosing the Right Type for Your Business

At BuyDirect, we stock a range of inkjet and laser printers from leading brands, including HP, Lexmark, and Canon – but how do you know which is the best choice for your business?

Although both types of printers are designed to produce clear text and images, inkjet models are operated by ink cartridges, while lasers instead use toner powder. This makes inkjet printers better for high-resolution graphics or photos, and lasers more ideal for crisp black and white prints or documents requiring sharp text.

For instance, the HP Color LaserJet Professional CP5225dn is specially designed to print everyday business documents, marketing materials, and wide-format projects. The in-line print engine applies four colors in a single pass for accurate print quality, while the HP ImageRet 3600 resolution technology creates smooth colors and perfectly crisp text.

On the other hand, the HP DesignJet Z9 + 24" PostScript Printer delivers smooth transitions and sharp details, thanks to its vivid photo inks and HP Pixel Control. This model prints up to 2.5 times faster than other inkjet printers without losing quality, allowing users to cut post-processing time by around 20% with the integrated vertical trimmer.

Printing speed and volume are other key considerations when it comes to selecting a model. Laser printers tend to operate more quickly as the toner is fast-drying, making them ideal for printing large documents in bigger corporations. Businesses with smaller offices and lower printing volumes may find that inkjet printers sufficiently meet their needs.

Fax Machines: Key Benefits and Uses

Unlike analog fax machines, which can only send or receive one message at a time, having a modern fax machine offers a range of benefits, including secure data encryption and password protection.

Some of the other reasons why you may consider investing in digital fax machines for your business include:

Send and Receive Faxes Without the Full Address: Unlike emails, you don't need to know every letter of the address when using fax machines. Simply enter the business' name and your message should easily reach the intended recipient.

Incoming Faxes Are Less Likely to Get Lost: With email or telephone transmission, messages can get lost or buried within the junk folder. Fax machines ensure that the message physically arrives on paper and won't get lost in transmission!

Provides Legal Protection: Medical providers and law enforcement services tend to choose fax machines over other forms of wireless transmission because they keep legal documents more secure. Sending papers over the phone means there's less chance of signatures getting tampered with, plus companies can keep confirmation pages as a form of legal evidence.

Works as an Organizational Tool: Using fax machines is a great way of maintaining organization when it comes to paperwork. Being able to sort out and keep a record of your most important documents makes the process of sending copies to clients and other companies easier – no longer will you need to run back to the office whenever you need to print papers!

Combines Printing and Copying Functionalities: Today, modern fax machines have many more purposes than simply sending documents; they often double up as printers and photocopiers too, which saves your business plenty on buying new equipment.

Streamline your workload and make the most of a small office space with the Canon Faxphone L100 Laser. This fax machine provides printing, copying, and fax server functionality, offering quality results for all three machines.

Keep your workforce productive with a Quick First Print Time of 8 seconds, 19 pages per minute copying, and 33.6 kbps faxing, alongside a comprehensive address book featuring 20 one-touch speed dials.

Plus, ensure your new systems run smoothly by stocking up on wholesale printing supplies and accessories. Discover ink cartridges, rollers, belts, fusers, and more at BuyDirect today.

FAQs

Find out everything you need to know about printers, copiers, and fax machines by checking out some of our most frequently asked questions below:

Is There a Difference Between a Printer and a Copier?

Printers allow a user to send documents and photographs from a computer network, which can then be printed from the device. On the other hand, copiers don't need to be connected to a network; instead, they simply make copies of a physical document. You can also purchase multifunctional devices that support both printing and copying.

Which Type of Printer is Most Useful?

Inkjet printers are best for home use, particularly when it comes to printing small or image-heavy documents. Laser printers are a better, more efficient and economical choice for large documents that contain lots of text, which is why they are often preferred by businesses.

Can I Use My Printer As a Fax Machine?

Most fax machines and printers come with dual functionality, so can be used for both. Although not every printer model has built-in fax machines, many support faxing through external services. This means that you can send documents online from any device using internet fax.

Which Copier Machine is the Best?

The best and most efficient copier machines generally come with combined copying, printing, and fax technology. For instance, at BuyDirect, our bestselling model is the HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP. This multifunctional copier is designed to handle business solutions securely, while also conserving energy.

Do You Need a PC to Use a Printer?

While printers can be connected to PCs and laptops, you can print documents and photographs from any mobile device, wherever you are, with the wireless printing functionality. This includes both smartphones and tablets; simply download the printer's corresponding mobile app.
