Laser or InkJet? What’s the difference?

With so many different options for home printing it can be hard to make a choice. You want the best workspace you can build, so we’ve put together a list of differences to help make your decision easier!

• • Print speed: Laser printers are a faster option than inkjet printers, so they’re great for larger jobs.
• • Print quality: Laser printers are great for text, but inkjet printers usually have better colours so are well suited to printing images or graphics.
• • Cost per page: Inkjet printers are cheaper when used for occasional printing, but laser printers are cheaper per page when printing at high volumes.
• • Maintenance: Inkjet printers can dry out if not used frequently.

When to pick an Inkjet or Laser Printer

Choose a laser printer when you need high volume, text-based documents where you need cost effective printing due to frequent use.

Choose an inkjet printer when you have occasional printing needs, or need to print high quality colour photos or graphics.

What’s the Best Printer for Students?

Students have a varied set of needs and can benefit from a wide range of products. Generally speaking, inkjet printers are a good solution for students because they are relatively cheap, great for occasional use, and can print in high quality colour.

At Officeworks, we have a range of printers to suit many needs. Whether you need to print colour images or text-based essays, we’ve got something that will work for you

What is a Wide Format Printer?

Wide format printers are printers which support paper sizes much larger than standard paper sizes. These printers are usually used in industry rather than for home use, as they are used to print banners, posters, wallpapers and other large materials. Officeworks has a range of wide format printers available at different price points, so whatever your needs - whether you’re just starting out or have a thriving printing business already - we have something that works for you.
