In todays down economy we are more concerned about our wallet than anything else and it is for certain that we want to get the best deals that will benefit our family. So I decided to write this piece to remind you on how to choose the right printer. You see when you buy a printer, its not just the amount you pay for your printer its far more than that, it’s the cost to run the printer that is the most expensive. For example when you are in the market to buy a car, you don’t buy a car just because you want a car, you will do your research on MPG and much more, it is the same with printers.

After you buy a printer, it is the ink cartridges or the laser toner cartridges that will cost the most, a lot more than what you paid for the printer. So when you buy a printer choose wisely. You can simply do a cost analysis to see how much the cost of a printer is over a certain period of ownership. Calculate the cost per page for different types of a printer. Compare a ink cartridge printer to a laser printer. In most cases it only makes sense to go with the laser printer because it will give you far more pages per ...
... toner cartridge than ink cartridge would give you. Lets look at a comparison of an inkjet printer to a laser printer.

In this comparison I will take the HP printers, one HP inkjet printer and another HP laser printer and compare the HP Toner to HP inkjet cartridge. One of the most popular HP inkjet printers is the Office Jet 8500Pro which uses the HP940XL and in the after market the HP940XL cartridges cost $50 at 2inks.com and the black gives you roughly 2200 pages when compared to a HP toner cartridges Q2612A which cost $29 and gives you 2500 pages at 5% yield.

Although I have to admit that this can never be a head on comparison because the inkjet printer will give you color prints and the laser will not but HP offers many color laser printers that consumers can use. In general laser printers give you superior quality to inkjet printers and usually cost much less than inkjet cartridges in the long run. The inkjet printer might a cheaper up front cost however the cost the cartridge will dry up you cash eventually and leave you with ink guzzling printer just like when you buy a SUV which will the same with its gas. It is our standing and the industries to purchase laser printers for great quality and long-term investment with great returns. Plus you have a choice between OEM cartridges and after market, which cost a fraction of the OEM cartridges and despite what the OEM likes to tell you will not void or affect your warranty.
