00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.200
today we're going to help you buy a new printer the first thing to decide is

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:08.080
whether you want an inkjet printer or a laser printer and we're going to tell

00:00:06.520 --> 00:00:12.519
you the key differences between these two technologies as fast as possible if

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:17.080
you don't know what kind of printer you have or it came with your computer or something like that the odds are good

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:21.039
you have an inkjet printer one of the advantages of them is they're extremely

00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:24.960
inexpensive for the printer Hardware up front they have some other advantages as

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:28.640
well though they're very compact they don't use much power compared to their

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:32.759
laser counterparts and they are extremely versatile you can print to a

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:35.960
variety of media such as labels without ruining the sticker backs because

00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:40.280
there's no heat involved in the printing process and because the vast majority of

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:45.079
inkjet printers out there do print in color you can get reasonably good photos

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.559
out of pretty much any inkjet printer these days Laser Printers are more

00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:52.280
expensive in the short term you have to pay more for the hardware particularly

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:56.359
if you want a color model but they do tend to be more reliable so they'll last

00:00:54.440 --> 00:01:00.199
longer and if you use them very infrequently they don't have nozzles

00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:04.159
that can clog unlike their jet counterparts they also produce very

00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:08.520
crisp text if you're printing out resumés print it on laser even the

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:12.920
cheapest laser printer from 10 years ago will print crisper text than the most

00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:17.600
high-end ink jet printer today last but not least you'll save on toner in the

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:22.600
long run because toner with a couple of very few exceptions is cheaper than ink

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:26.360
for refills so it boils down to this if you're going to be printing a lot of

00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:30.360
text get yourself a laser printer it'll look much more crisp it's way more

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:33.439
professional and you you'll actually save money in the long run if you do

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:38.119
enough printing if you're going to be printing photos and more often than just

00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:44.479
sort of once a month or once every two months because then you risk having your nozzles Clogg then an inexpensive inkjet

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:48.759
printer is not a bad idea compared to entrylevel color Laser Printers an

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.759
entry-level color inkjet printer is much less expensive and will produce much

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:56.159
better results on a wider variety of different types of

00:01:54.119 --> 00:01:59.960
