Why Laser Printers?
September 27, 2007 – 12:11 amA couple of months ago, I bought an ink printer which I thought was a good deal. However, my friend chided me because he specifically told me to get Colour Laser Printers because maintenance cost is so much lower for laser printers than ink printers not to mention that ink is very expensive.
Ameiva.co.uk is a major company based in the United Kingdom that specializes in all kinds of printers from dot matrix to inkjet to laser printers and printer accessories. As a user of Canon bubble jet printer and Epson all-in-one, it is only natural that I am now looking for Canon laser printers and Epson laser printers. Not only does Ameiva carry both brands, they also offer colour laser printers from other major brands like Brother, HP, Samsung and the whole works.
You may wonder why people favour laser printers over ink printers. This was explained to me when I was looking for a printer. My friend told me that although laser printers and especially colour laser printers are more expensive at the point of purchase, compared to ink printers, laser printers output better quality prints, and print faster for both colour and black and white in terms of pages per minute and most important is the cost per sheet. My friend gave me a calculation of the cost per sheet between colour laser printer and inkjet printers and the difference is huge.
When it comes to maintenance, laser printers are very easy to use. On the other hand, I was told that to maintain the quality of my prints I would have to keep the print head of my inkjet printers prime by switching my printer on at least once a week even when I have no plans to print any document just to heat it up and to print a full colour page at least once a month or the ink will dry and clog up the print head. Is that a waste of ink or what? And print heads don’t come cheap either.
Based on these two factors, when I was looking for colour laser printers on Ameiva.co.uk, it is actually not difficult to decide on which colour laser printer to get. Of course, I will be sticking to a reputable brand name. Besides Canon and Epson which I have been a faithful user of their inkjet printers, I am narrowing down my choices to Minolta, Lexmark and Xerox laser printers.
If you check the website of Ameiva.co.uk, you can see that they have already calculated the approximate running cost guide for each printer. This information is a very good gauge for us and helps us to make a better decision when it comes to purchasing a laser printer, colour or otherwise.
Although I made a mistake in purchasing my inkjet printer, as a seasoned online shopper, I would like to point out that when you are buying something huge like a laser printer, you would want to check for the warranty period and any available deals for the printers. Ameiva.co.uk carries printers with up to three years free warranty and some come with cashback rebates or are available for trade in deals. All these are money saving factors that you should take into consideration and with the widest range of printers that I have ever seen on Ameiva.co.uk, you can easily compare prices and benefits in a single page.
