Is your inkjet printer failing to produce the high-quality images and photos you want at the pace you need? It might be time to consider switching to a color laser printer so you never have to worry about image quality or printing speeds again. Luckily, Staples carries a wide selection of color laser printers from multiple brands, making it easy for you to find the right one for your home or office.
Why Should I Buy A Color Laser Printer?
You may think that color laser printers get a lot of hype, but trust us when we say that it's warranted. Here are some of the features laser printers have to offer:
- Toner vs. Ink: Unlike traditional inkjet printers, color laser printers use longer-lasting toner cartridges to print text and images.
- High Pages Per Minute: Most laser printers can print anywhere between 12-40 pages per minute.
- High-Capacity Paper Trays: Most laser printers come with larger than average paper trays which allow you to get your big printing jobs done with ease.
- Long-Lasting: Color laser printers last up to 10 years or more if you maintain it properly, so get ready to be in a long-term relationship with your printer.
Choose an All-in-One Color Laser Printer for Convenience
As the name suggests, all-in-one or multifunction printers bring all of the functionality of several pieces of office equipment into one machine that can copy, scan, and even fax documents. All-in-one printers are perfect for a home or small office and they are also a great option for workplaces with limited counter storage. So, save yourself space and money by getting a laser printer that can do it all.
Printer Setup: Wireless or Wired
Whether you get a wired or wireless printer is ultimately up to you, but keep in mind that setup will look a little bit different depending on which one you get. Opting for a wireless color laser printer will allow your phone or computer to effortlessly connect to it from anywhere in your home or office. A wired printer can only print from the computer it's connected to, so if you work with multiple people who all need to use the same printer, a wireless connection is a better option.
Additional Laser Printer Features to Consider
When you’re ready to take the plunge on a printer, we recommend that you keep these last little bits of information in the back of your head:
- Print Speed: If you need to print a lot of documents or share a printer with multiple people, look at some of the models with the highest print speeds you can get, but don’t settle for anything under 20 pages per minute.
- Duplexing: Printing on both sides of a page saves printer paper, which can save you money and the environment in one action. So, make sure the model you choose supports automatic duplexing.
- LCD Display: LCD displays make operating and troubleshooting a printer way simpler. Choose a model with a touchscreen color display and an intuitive interface for convenience.
- Duty Cycle: A printer’s duty cycle is the maximum amount of pages it can print in a month without causing damage. Laser printers have a variety of duty cycles, so make sure that the model you have your eye on has a high enough duty cycle for your printing habits.
- Mobile Printing Compatibility: Nowadays, all of our pictures are on our phones, and once it’s time to print them out, it’s important that our phones can seamlessly connect to our printers. Many of our printers are compatible with AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Mopria, and Wi-Fi Direct.
