Laser printers are the “workhorse” of your business. They should be fast, inexpensive to operate and feature useful options such as two-sided (duplex) printing. To select a good laser printer, remember these tips:

• Look for models with fast print speeds: at least 15 pages per minute or greater for B & W models, 8 PPM color laser
• Look for models with lots of memory or add more when you purchase: more memory frees up your computer faster while the printer processes large print jobs
• Look for models with built-in networking, so they can be located anywhere in your office and still be available to everyone on the network
• Newer models include Wireless networking - either WiFi or Bluetooth; WiFi networking means you can locate the printer anywhere in your office if you have a wireless router; Bluetooth means you can print from your laptop or PDA directly to the printer even if you don't have a network!
• Check the cost of ink cartridges before you decide on a laser printer model; cheaper models are sometimes a “bait and switch” to more expensive supplies you will need to purchase every month!
