There are several things to consider before you invest in a new printer and we’ve found the most important features you need to help you decide which model is best. Here are a handful of things to look for before buying a printer for your Chromebook.
Connectivity: Knowing how your new printer connects to your laptop is important. You may need access to WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity to print from your Chromebook. Other printers come with an additional cord to plug into your laptop.
Size: The size of your printer determines where you can store it in your home, but it also affects what size paper and projects you can print. Be sure to measure the dimensions of your office space to determine what size printer you need.
Output: Depending on what you decide to print, you need to decide whether you need color or monochrome capabilities. Color printers can print both color and monochrome, but monochrome printers will only print in black and white.
Print Speed: Print speed refers to how many pages your printer can complete in one minute. Some are quick, while others take their time to complete your project. Print speed is more important for commercial offices who need documents printed quickly.
Technology: There are two common types of printers: inkjet and laser. Inkjet printers use individual ink cartridges to print your photos and documents, while laser printers don’t use ink at all and laser your text and pictures onto your paper.
Warranty: Warranties are very important for printers as a malfunction can make or break you finishing your project. Most warranties cover any malfunction or missing pieces so double check to see how long your printer is covered.
