What type of user are you? Suggested Printer: Why? Cost appox:General home user

The home user needs versatility and a low price to print occasional documents and photos, but does not require huge volumes, high speed, or highest resolution printing.

Desktop colour inkjet Cheapest option for the versatility required. Slower than laser, and cost per print is higher. Depending on budget, choose one that has standalone faxing and auto document feeder.

R1000

Desktop colour inkjet multifunction Still fairly cheap, and still versatile (although cannot print photos). Faster, and cheaper cost-per-print. Choose one that has standalone faxing and auto document feeder.

R1500

Desktop colour laser, with a 2nd photo printer

Laser is faster and more expensive, plus the photo printer gives best quality at low price. Can’t fax or scan. Choose this if you have above-average home print volumes.

R3500

Writer

A writer needs higher volumes of text printing, perhaps with some graphics. Cost per page is an important factor. This applies to professional writers, part-time novelists, or students writing theses.

Desktop mono laser Cheapest cost per print, speedy, low upfront cost. But not a versatile choice. R2000

Desktop colour laser Still fairly cheap cost per print, with some versatility for printing graphics (at a cost). R2500

Desktop colour inkjet Cheapest option upfront, but slow. Choose a model that minimizes cost per print above all else. R1000

Digital photographer

Any inkjet can print photos in color, but there are specialist printers available at reasonable prices that give results that approach professional photofinishing. You’ll need to check the characteristics of the ink set, the supported papers, and the color-management tools. Most can print directly from compatible digital cameras.

Photo printer Best quality at reasonable prices, but not a versatile choice. Choose one that uses dye sublimation. R2000

Desktop colour inkjet (or multifunction) with specialist photo-printing additions

Versatile – can print photos and documents. Opt for a model that has a photo-printing mode, memory-card slot, and perhaps an LCD screen for previews.

R1500 – R2500

Entrepreneur

If you often work from a home office or run a small business, you need versatility, with price, speed, and usability as additional factors.

Desktop colour inkjet multifunction Cheapest option for the versatility required. Slower than laser, and cost per print is higher. Depending on budget, choose one that has standalone faxing and auto document feeder.

R1500

Desktop colour laser multifunction Still fairly cheap, and still versatile (although cannot print photos). Faster, and cheaper cost-per-print. Choose one that has standalone faxing and auto document feeder.

R3000

Desktop colour laser If you already have a standalone fax. R2500

Corporate

In a corporate environment, or even a smaller business, a printer needs to be shared among several people and handle large volumes. Versatility is a consideration, and cost-per-print will be much more important than upfront cost. Features such as network printing, high-capacity toner cartridges, and larger paper input and output trays become important.

Workgroup colour laser Can handle multiple print jobs from various computers. Fastest option. Choose a model with the necessary processor, memory, and paper trays to handle the volumes you require.

R4000

Workgroup colour laser multifunction All the benefits of workgroup colour laser printers, plus the versatility to scan, copy, and fax. Depending on how your group operates, you may be better off paying extra and getting a standalone fax/copier, so that print jobs are not held up by other functions.

R5000

Colour inkjet multifunction May be sufficient if your group’s printing needs are modest and budget is an issue. Choose a higher-end model that can produce the volumes you need, and that supports network printing.

R2000

Mobile Professional

If you’re on the road, you need a light, small printer. Speed, versatility, and so on do not count for much – you just need to print wherever you are. Portable printers typically come with a battery (either standard or as an option) and/or a car charger, and some support wireless printing from a cell phone.

Mobile colour inkjet Best (only) choice for truly mobile printing. Weighs as little as 1kg. R2000

None Use the hotel’s business centre, or a kiosk at the airport, or the printer at the office you’re visiting. R0

Type: About: Pros: Cons: Look out for:Desktop These printers work pretty much the same way

photocopiers work – they use a photographic drum to attract electrically charged toner and transfer it to paper, where the image is fused using a heated roller. Even though this type of printer can fit on a desktop, many models boast high-end features such as networking / workgroup capability, full-duplexing, high-capacity paper trays, and more.

• Fast print speed

• Low cost-per-page

• High volumes

• Crisp printing

• Prices dropping all the time, especially for colour models

• Lowest total cost of ownership for medium-to-high volume printing

• Higher upfront costs (especially for colour models)

• Lackofversatility(scan/copy/fax)

• Notsuitedtoprintingphotographs

• Notidealformediumtolargeworkgroups

• Price: Between R2500 and R4000

• Resolution:600x600dpi

• Printspeed:10to20ppm

• Paper capacity (standard): 150 to 250 sheets

• Memory:32MBormore

• Interface:USB,parallel,andRJ-45(Ethernet)

Workgroup Laser Printer

Designed for small-to-medium offices or small-to-medium teams within larger companies. Desktop laser printers use a photographic drum to attract electrically charged toner and transfer it to paper, where the image is fused using a heated roller. These printers have features developed specifically for multiple users in a networked environment, including larger input and output trays, duplex (double-sided) printing, sorting, and stapling. They also have faster processors and more memory so as to be able to handle multiple tasks.

• Print speed: More than 20 ppm

• Papercapacity(standard):250sheetsormore

• Memory:64MBormore

• Interface:USB,parallel,andRJ-45(Ethernet)

Inkjet Printer Inkjets print by applying to the paper a precisely controlled stream of tiny ink droplets from one or more cartridges. The size of the droplets and the way the stream is controlled determine the print quality. General-purpose inkjet printers can print photographs (not to be confused with snapshot printersdesignedtoprint4”x6”orsmallerprints).Better than laser printers at printing rich graphics and photographs.

Multifunction/

all-in-one

Combination copier, scanner, printer, and fax, all in one unit. Available in laser and inkjet models, with the benefits and drawbacks of each technology (see above), and prices to match. Suited to home offices and small businesses. Better models feature flatbed scanners, automatic document feeders, colour faxing, and OCR (optical character recognition) scan conversion. Some models allow simultaneous functionality – faxing while printing, for example.
