A printer is a crucial part of our day-to-day lives, whether we are printing school assignments or business documents. Choosing the right printer for your needs requires careful consideration of your budget and long-term usage plans, as well as an understanding of the different types and features available in the market.
A computer printer is a machine that takes digital text or images and prints them onto paper, film, cloth or other material. In addition to the traditional printed pages, some printers are capable of printing bar codes, holograms and 3D objects.
The first mechanical printer was invented in the 19th century by Charles Babbage. More recently, computer printers have become a key component in the workplace and our everyday life. They help us print important documents, create school assignments and even produce 3D prototypes.
Modern printers are highly versatile and come in various shapes, sizes and colours. Some are multifunction devices that can also scan and copy documents. Depending on your needs, you can choose between laser and inkjet printers. The main difference between these two types is that laser printers use toner rather than ink, resulting in lower running costs.
When shopping for a printer, consider the volume of printing you will need to do regularly and whether you need color printing capabilities. Check the printer’s maximum page per minute speed and toner or ink cartridge capacity. It’s a good idea to opt for an energy-efficient printer with either ENERGY STAR, EPEAT or CECP certification.
