Choosing The Right Printer For Your Startup

When most of the important communications are done via phone calls and emails, still there is a demand for
documents and images in printed forms. Printers are necessary for startup's and, its confusing to select a
suitable one among the wide range of laser, inkjet and all-in-one printers.
With startups, people have to manage their exceeding costs and try to save every penny. Purchasing any printer
is quite easy but it's better to understand your printing requirements, like the running costs, toner cartridges
and maintenance costs. To help you make a wise decision, here are some points one should consider before
choosing the right printer for your startup.

Check out your printing requirements:

Depending upon the type of your print requirements, it's important to check whether one needs black & white

prints or high-quality colored prints. Another concerning point is, how frequent you require prints? Do you
occasionally print documents or there is a huge need for printing the documents at a higher scale? On clearing
these points, you will definitely know about your printing requirements.

What features do you require in your printer?

You can find bundled high-end all-in-one printers till mono printing machines. With your startup requirements,

configure the features which you require the most in the printer. Is it that you only require to print documents,
or there is a need for a scanner, fax, duplex printing and all the other features like memory card slots etc.
Also, if there is an internet connection, then the WiFi compatible printer can be quite suitable. To select one,
it's important to write down the features you require the most in your printer.  

Space occupied by the printer:

Startup begins from a room, backyard, garage and at the initial stage, there is always an issue with space. Also,

there are space changes and shifting of the stuff from one place to another. If this is the case, then don't plan to
buy a bulky printer when a small desktop printer can be a right choice for you. Small printers have the same
functioning and you can easily shift them from one place to another.

Price and running cost of printers:

It’s totally vague to spend a fortune on an expensive printer right in the very first step. Startups should be
calculated and focused, and not wasting money on expensive printers. Also, it is sensible to calculate the

running cost with an idea of how many prints you require in a specific period of time. Ink cartridges are costly and try to go with affordable printing devices to lower the running cost of printers.  

Conclusion:

Starting a business is difficult but choosing the right printer for startups isn’t, especially when you are aware

of your needs. One should be clear enough about what kind of prints will be required and in how much
quantity. Do not invest a good amount on large printers, when a small desktop printer can perform the similar
tasks as you need. Also, calculate the initial and running cost factors like pages, toner cartridges,
maintenance etc.
