If you are planning to purchase a printer, then laser printers are worth spending on. The reason behind this is that laser printers provide the highest text and image quality available today.
Which laser printer you choose will depend not only on how much you're willing to spend, but also on various other factors. Here are some logical ways to narrow your choices:
Quality, resolution, and color: The standard resolution in most laser printers today is 1200 dots per inch (dpi). This is well-suited for everyday printing.
Speed: Lasers still hold the high ground in terms of speed. You can get a full-color results as fast as 3 to 4 pages per minute (ppm), and black-and-white result as fast as 25 ppm.
Paper handling, size and capacity: Paper handling is important when shopping for a laser printer. Most laser printers use letter-size, cut-sheet paper. If your requirements vary, then look for specific models.
PCL or postscript: Printer command language(PCL) is the standard printer language for HP's and most other laser printers. Postscript printers are used with desktop publishing software and drawing packages. If you keep these factors in mind then I'm sure nobody can befool you and whatever you buy would definitely not make you feel that you have wasted your money.
