Even if your office or business is making an effort to go paperless, you still need to print some documents to run your business effectively. To make your printing efficient, you want the best printer for your needs. There are many available models of commercial printers, and they all have various features that make them useful for different types of businesses. When you’re looking to buy or lease a printer, you need to select a model that has the features you want.
Here are three features that you should consider when comparing commercial printers.
Print Speed and Volume
One of the first questions you should ask when buying a printer is, “How much do you print?” Printers have pages per minute (PPM) and images per minute (IPM) ratings that let you know how quickly the printer can put out pages. If you need to print a high volume, a printer with a higher PPM or IPM rating is going to be better for your business. On the other hand, if you only occasionally have to print a document, a lower PPM rating will be fine for your business operations.
Paper Handling
Different printers are compatible with different types of paper. If you only have to print standard letter-size documents, a smaller printer that can only handle that paper size will be sufficient. However, if your business prints larger pages or pages of various sizes, you will need a printer that is compatible with multiple paper sizes. Some printers can adjust to fit different sizes, while others have multiple trays for each paper size.
Connectivity Options
We work and run our businesses from more devices than ever before, so you need a printer that can communicate with every device you need to print from. Most printers have both wired and wireless connections, so you can always have a strong connection, no matter your Wi-Fi setup. If you do a lot of work from your phone or mobile device, you’ll appreciate the convenience of having a printer with mobile printing capabilities rather than having to email files to yourself every time you need to print something.
