Most people looking for a printer only know one thing - they want something that prints well, and prints fast. Beyond that, the choice of models, cartridges and running costs quickly becomes a headache.
This is where we come in. Our experts listen to what you need and what you want to spend, then pick a printer or scanner that suits you - and tell you what it will really cost to run.
There are two technologies on the market, and the right one depends entirely on how much you print and what you print. Here's how they compare.
Laser printers use cartridges full of a fine powder called toner, which is heated and fused onto the paper. They're the workhorses of a busy office.
Cheaper per page than inkjet, faster on high volumes, and toner doesn't dry out when the printer sits unused.
A full set of toner cartridges can cost several hundred pounds to buy up front.
Inkjet printers hold a cartridge full of liquid ink, which is sprayed onto the paper in tiny droplets. They're the natural pick for colour and lower volumes.
Cheap to buy, compact, and excellent for photos and colour work.
Cartridges print fewer pages, and the ink can dry up and block the nozzles if the printer isn't used regularly.
| Feature | Laser | Inkjet |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per page | Lower - the cheaper option to run at volume | Higher - fine for occasional printing |
| Upfront cost | Cartridges can cost several hundred pounds | Cheap to buy, cheap cartridges too |
| Speed | Faster, built for high volumes | Slower on large print runs |
| Colour & photos | Usable, but not its strength | Excellent for colour and photo quality |
| Sitting idle | No issue - toner doesn't dry out | Ink can dry up and block nozzles if unused |
Not sure which suits you? That's exactly the sort of thing we work out for you - just tell us roughly how much you print and we'll take it from there.
This is a tricky one - it all depends on your needs. But our main advice is simple: don't settle for cheap.
You can pick up a bargain printer easily enough, but you'll often find the ink costs more than it would on a pricier machine, because cheap printers tend to burn through cartridges far faster.
The best way to measure the real price of a printer is by how much it costs per print. Judge it on cost per page, not the sticker price, and a "cheap" printer can turn out to be the expensive one.
The good news? We do all of this research for you, so you don't have to.
A black cartridge that prints 5,000 pages and costs £50 works out at just 1p per page - the number that actually matters.
Whether you want a dedicated scanner or a multifunction printer that scans, copies and prints from one machine, we'll match it to how you actually work.
We'll factor in the volume you scan, whether you need an automatic document feeder, double-sided scanning, and how it should connect to your network and cloud storage - so filing paperwork stops being a chore.
Four steps, and only the first one needs anything from you.
Complete the form or give us a call. Roughly how much you print, in colour or black, and what you want to spend is all we need to start.
We weigh up laser against inkjet, compare cost per page and pick a machine that suits your volume - not one that looks cheap and drinks ink.
A clear price for the machine and a realistic running cost, so you can see what it will actually cost you over its life, not just today.
We deliver it, connect it to your network and computers, and hand it over printing and scanning, ready to work.
Buying online, you're left to decode cartridge yields and page counts on your own. Buying through us, the same team that recommends the printer is the team that sets it up and supports it afterwards.
One printer for the corner of an office, or a fleet across several sites - the approach doesn't change.
The things customers ask us most before choosing a new printer or scanner.
Send us an enquiry and one of our team will come back to you with a recommendation, a price and the running cost you can expect.
You don't need to know the difference between laser and inkjet. What you print, roughly how much, and what you want to spend is plenty to go on.
