today we're going to help you buy a new printer the first thing to decide is
0:03
whether you want an inkjet printer or a laser printer and we're going to tell
0:06
you the key differences between these two technologies as fast as possible if
0:11
you don't know what kind of printer you have or it came with your computer or something like that the odds are good
0:15
you have an inkjet printer one of the advantages of them is they're extremely
0:18
inexpensive for the printer Hardware up front they have some other advantages as
0:22
well though they're very compact they don't use much power compared to their
0:26
laser counterparts and they are extremely versatile you can print to a
0:30
variety of media such as labels without ruining the sticker backs because
0:34
there's no heat involved in the printing process and because the vast majority of
0:38
inkjet printers out there do print in color you can get reasonably good photos
0:42
out of pretty much any inkjet printer these days Laser Printers are more
0:46
expensive in the short term you have to pay more for the hardware particularly
0:50
if you want a color model but they do tend to be more reliable so they'll last
0:54
longer and if you use them very infrequently they don't have nozzles
0:58
that can clog unlike their jet counterparts they also produce very

crisp text if you're printing out resumés print it on laser even the
1:06
cheapest laser printer from 10 years ago will print crisper text than the most
1:10
high-end ink jet printer today last but not least you'll save on toner in the
1:14
long run because toner with a couple of very few exceptions is cheaper than ink
1:19
for refills so it boils down to this if you're going to be printing a lot of
1:23
text get yourself a laser printer it'll look much more crisp it's way more
1:28
professional and you you'll actually save money in the long run if you do
1:31
enough printing if you're going to be printing photos and more often than just
1:36
sort of once a month or once every two months because then you risk having your nozzles Clogg then an inexpensive inkjet
1:42
printer is not a bad idea compared to entrylevel color Laser Printers an
1:46
entry-level color inkjet printer is much less expensive and will produce much
1:50
better results on a wider variety of different types of
