There are many types including multifunction printers, photo, inkjet and laser printers. Generally if you are printing photographs it is better to use an inkjet or ideally a photo printer however if you’ve a lot of documents to print then a laser printer is ideal.
If you plan to use mainly to print photographs then a photo printer should suit you’re needs. Most photo printers can produce good quality photographs however the more expensive photo printers generally offer you extra features or faster photo printing. You can get inkjet multifunction printers or laser multifunction printers however it might be more economical to purchase a laser version if you have a lot of printing as the cost per print page is cheaper so in the long run a multifunction laser printer can work out cheaper.
You may also want a printer with network features so multiple staff can access the printer. You can choose a mono laser printer or a colour laser printer. Many small businesses only have a small requirement for colour printing so they often purchase a high quality mono laser printer and maybe a small inkjet for any colour printing they might do from time to time, it’s really depends on the requirements of the business.
