Colour Laser Printers

Why choose a colour laser printer?

Colour laser printers offer several advantages over their inkjet counterparts, including:

Faster print speeds: Colour laser printers are generally faster than inkjet models, making them ideal for high-volume printing tasks and busy office environments.

Consistent print quality: Laser printers deliver sharp text and vivid colours with consistent quality, even on large print jobs.

Lower cost per page: Although colour laser printers have higher upfront costs, their toner cartridges usually have a higher yield, resulting in a lower cost per page over time.

Less frequent maintenance: Laser printers typically require less maintenance and experience fewer issues with printhead clogging or ink drying out.

Buying a colour laser printer

When choosing a colour laser printer, consider the following factors, in addition to the standard specs such as resolution, print speed, connectivity, and media support.

Toner type

Assess the type and quality of the toner cartridges used by the printer. Some models use separate cartridges for each colour (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), while others use a combined cartridge. Separate cartridges can be more cost-effective, as you only need to replace the depleted colour.

Colour accuracy

If colour accuracy is a priority, look for printers that offer advanced colour management features, such as Pantone colour matching or calibration tools.

Duty cycle

Evaluate the printer's recommended monthly duty cycle to ensure it can handle your print volume requirements without causing excessive wear and tear.

Energy efficiency

Colour laser printers can consume more power than inkjet models. Consider the printer's energy consumption and look for models with energy-saving features or certifications, such as Energy Star.
