Many small and medium business owners want to know how they can determine which printing technology is best for their company. Here are a few tips you can use when you purchase your next printing device.
When determining your printing device requirements, it is important to consider the number of users, functionalities required, desired print speed, internal use vs. client usage, large print jobs vs. personal convenience printing, need for colour, cost of the printer, cost of the supplies and the guarantee.

| Inkjets work well in home offices, small workgroups and for individual users in business environments |
|
At Lexmark, our range starts from single function printers that handle basic printing requirements at a low acquisition cost through to all-in-one devices that go beyond basic printing, to include scanning, copying and faxing plus photo printing features, wireless and Bluetooth for workgroup use.

An employee requiring the flexibility to work from home as well as the office would also benefit from an inkjet and a laser.
There are features common to both inkjet and laser printers that can enable you to accommodate to the needs of your growing business, such as:
- High quality printing
- Ease of use and user-friendly
- Colour printing
- Networking
- Multi-functionality: scanning, copying, faxing
