Finding The Best All-in-One Printer

Small and home-based businesses find that the All-in-One printers are both popular and convenient. There are so many AiOs, as they are called, from which to choose so how can you be sure you are getting the right model for your needs? Before you go shopping for a printer, Inkbarn wants to offer some tips: 

1. Consider your needs. Do you need to fax, scan and copy and how many sheets will you print in a day, week, year? Know a little about what you want before you go shopping so you choose the printer that handles multiple duties to suit your needs. Better to be prepared than let the salesman convince you on the printer he likes best. 
2. Do you need network connectivity? This is important for businesses or homes where multiple devices with be routed to the same printer. In addition, many models have built-in memory and an LCD screen so you can store photos or documents without having to use a PC. 
3. Do you really need an all-in-one? Generally this is the right choice for most office settings but a photographer, for example, may prefer a high photo-quality copier. You should also consider usage. If you do a lot of printing and have multiple employees using the printer, you may find you need a more printers for your office. 
4. Decide if you want an inkjet or laser all-in-one printer. There are advantages and disadvantages for each. Inkjet cartridges need to be replaced more often, and this can be expensive if you’re using OEM cartridges. Inkbarn carries compatible inkjet cartridges saving you up to 88% on replacement costs making this a more affordable option. Laser printers use toner cartridges, which cost more than inkjets but they last longer and handle a larger volume of pages. 

All-in-one printers are an excellent choice for many situations. They help you save by having one machine over independent fax and copier machines, they save energy and can improve efficiency. Preparation will be key when it comes to shopping for a new all-in-one printer.
