In every modern business, the printer is an essential and integral part of daily operations, ensuring smooth and efficient workflow.
Depending on each company’s needs, selecting the right equipment is crucial. A wrong choice can seriously impact operational costs, task execution, and even employee productivity.
Laser Printers
Laser printers are ideal for all types of businesses, from small offices to industrial facilities.
They use toner cartridges, which contain fine powder for printing.

-
Toner cartridges can print thousands of pages without frequent replacement
Disadvantages:

-
While they support specialty papers like adhesive labels, these must be specially designed for laser printers due to the high heat used in the printing and image-setting process. Using the wrong type of paper can cause irreparable damage or costly malfunctions
-
Some color laser printers have a separate drum unit for each toner color, increasing overall printing costs
Inkjet Printers
Inkjet printers use liquid ink, which is sprayed onto the paper to create the image.
Advantages:
-
Ideal for printing photos and detailed images

Compatible with a variety of paper types and materials, as they don’t use heat in their technology
