If you are thinking about purchasing a printer you will need to think carefully about many aspects before choosing one to make sure that it fits your needs because the process of buying a printer is not as simple as grabbing one off of eBay. Instead, if you browse online or head into a big electronics store you will be confronted with dozens of choices from the most popular brands such as HP, Brother, Epson, Canon, Dell, Kodak, and many more. In fact, for every computers electronics manufacturer, there are two more divisions that manufacture printers.

Outside of the basic brand choices, you also will need to consider what your true printing needs are. For example, many printers on the market now come equipped with dual capabilities allowing you to print as well as scan or copy items. If you work with photos or own a business then paying a little more for these extra functions will be very logical and almost a built in perk of owning a high quality printer, however if you truly just need a printer for occasional printing of simple documents or web documents you may not want to pay a few extra quid for functions that you will never use.

You will also need to consider the benefits and disadvantages of laser over ink printers. Ink printers tend to be lower in cost upfront, but the refill cartridges are very expensive making them practical for those who plan on only occasionally using their printer and mostly in black and white tones. On the other hand, laser printers will cost more upfront but the ink lasts longer and is cheaper to refill making it the much more practical choice for someone who knows that they will need their printer on a regular basis.
When it comes to ink cartridges you may also want to investigate manufacturers that allow third party toner self refills if you are looking for a way to print regularly without overspending your budget. Some manufacturers will sell the ink in bulk at a discount if you are willing to get a bit messy when refilling the cartridges which can save you a great deal in the long run. This is especially true if you own an office and are looking at purchasing more than one printer for the office since the wholesale prices will hands down beat any single cartridge price.

Finally, the last detail you may have overlooked when it comes to what printer to purchase is size. Many people get so wrapped up in the type of printer they should purchase that they forget about the space they have to work with. Before purchasing a printer you should have a clear idea of the area that you have to place it in as laser printers (especially colour laser printers) tend to be much larger in size than inkjets or mono laser printers and therefore will need to carefully be planned for.
