The Best Printers For Large Companies

In addition to numerous obligations in work organization, daily work with demanding clients and following short deadlines, we are sure that most managers do not have enough time to research the market in order to find a suitable printer for their office or company. Therefore, in this text, we will provide several guidelines that could facilitate the search and purchase of a printer that will meet the needs of work in large companies, while not creating unnecessary maintenance costs. We’ll also offer five of the best printer models for large businesses that could save you valuable time.

Acquiring a reliable and affordable printer for a large company is a very demanding task, the realization of which requires taking into account several parameters, such as print speed, paper capacity and maximum monthly work cycle. A printer with a low print speed (below 30 ppm), as well as one whose maintenance is too demanding, is not the right choice for large companies where hundreds of documents are printed daily. The monthly duty cycle is a feature that tells you if the printer is able to handle large volumes of work, and the large paper capacity means you don’t have to refill the printer every so often.

In addition, when choosing a printer, you need to consider whether you need black-and-white printing, color printing, or perhaps both, and whether you intend to additionally use the same device for scanning and copying. For large offices and companies, it is very important to choose a printer that can be used in a network in order to enable its use by a larger number of users. At the same time, you should know that “wired” printers are faster, while wireless models are not so fast, but they are often cheaper and more flexible.

Printers can be of different dimensions, characteristics and prices. Large offices and companies that want a high-quality printer should plan at least 500 euros in their budget, which is the cost of the cheapest laser monochrome printers that can handle the work capacity of large companies, and for some top-quality printer models, it is necessary to allocate five-digit amounts. The most famous manufacturers of printers for large companies and offices are Canon, Lexmark and HP. For models belonging to these brands, it is also much easier to find and buy replacement inks and toners.

Since we have already concluded that in large companies there is simply not enough time to research the printer market, we have prepared a short overview of quality printer models for large companies:

HP Laserjet Enterprise M608dn – some companies try to separate the printing and scanning functions on different devices and prefer monochrome printers because of the much lower costs compared to color printers. If you are one of them, then we suggest you consider purchasing the HP Laserjet Enterprise M608dn, which has a print speed of 61 ppm and a maximum monthly duty cycle of 275,000 pages.
