How to Choose a New Desktop Color Laser Printer
This is my first time here in the states. And, I can't tell you how impressed I am with the stores, restaurants and cities that I have visited over the past five months. I was born and raised in Australia, and I can tell you that we have none of the conveniences that many Americans take for granted. For instance, I have been using a desktop inkjet printer for almost 5 years now. And, the cost per print, let alone if the ink cartridge dries up, is just outrageous. I spend almost $200 every month to have the "joy" or "privilege" of receiving documents out of my computer. But, now thanks to my old boss I am going home with a brand new desktop color laser printer. There were many color laser printers to choose from and the initial price points run from a low of $150 to a high in the neighborhood of $3,500. What differentiates these desktop color laser printers is the total cost of ownership. (initial price, copies per duty cycle and expected duty cycle for a set of ink or toner) What you will find, in almost all cases, is that the desktop color laser printer near the bottom end of the price range has a much higher total cost of ownership than the printer that enters near the top of the price scale. I don't mind paying for quality if I can save money (buying multiple printers, ink, etc.) over the long haul so I chose the Hewlett Packard CP4025dn because I wanted a medium to high duty cycle with the lowest cost of ownership. Using a total cost of ownership tool I was able to compare all of the top name brand desktop color laser printers on the full range of total cost of ownership.
Desktop Color Laser Printer Reviews, Coupon Codes, Etc.
The website I visited even had the latest desktop color laser printer reviews, feedback from industry experts on each name brand model and coupon codes that helped my save 10 percent on my desktop color laser printer. I want to say goodbye to my current printer and hello to my new desktop color laser printer, you will make my life so much better and my documents so much more fun to print. I want to be nice about pitching the old one in the trash. But, more than likely I will just kick it to the curb without another thought. Desktop color laser printer technology improvements and price drops have got to be some of the most important, impactful improvements in the technology industry over the past five years. Do your own comparison of total cost of ownership between a desktop inkjet printer and a desktop color laser printer and I think your eyes will be opened. Desktop color laser printer technology will win hands down. And, the total cost of ownership for a desktop color laser printer is on average 50-60% cheaper than that old inkjet.
Total Cost of Ownership for the Desktop Color Laser Printer
Total cost of ownership consists of multiple factors that should be taken into consideration; initial cost, ink or toner cartridges costs, whether you can use refilled or remanufactured cartridges or whether you are stuck with the Original Equipment Manufactured (OEM) ones and finally the number of prints per cycle. The number of prints per cycle is the number of pages you get for each set of ink or toner. What did I find? Well, you can imagine my surprise when I started looking at desktop color laser printers in today's market and found that some of the new breed of desktop color laser printer had an initial price point that would seem to keep it from consideration but after closer review the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) on the high end gave those desktop color laser printers a lower TCO than the lower end or the current breed of desktop inkjet printers. And, when all TCO factors were tabulated, the medium to high end desktop color laser printer was actually much cheaper over the expected life span of that printer. Add a service contract onto the end of the manufacturer's base warranty and the TCO number decreased even more substantially. There is a never ending supply of TCO information and comparisons of TCO between the desktop color laser printer and inkjet printers on the Internet. I can tell you that what helped me the most was looking at Total Cost of Ownership tools and running the numbers to find the most reasonable desktop color laser printer that also offered the lowest cost toner cartridges, duplex printing and all of the network connections I wanted. (HP CP4025dn) Happy shopping and happy printing.
