One of the first things you'll want to determine is whether or not you need a color laser printer or a monochrome laser printer. If your printing needs include mostly text documents, a monochrome printer might be a better option for you. You'll also want a printer with a high print resolution. DPI stands for dots per inch, and the higher the dpi, the better your printed images are going to look. If you are printing images for presentations and handouts, you might want to consider a laser printer with a high printing resolution. Mobile and wireless printing options are becoming more important in the digital age. Being able to print a document straight from your phone or tablet is an asset and saves you going through the trouble of trying to get your document on the right medium before printing. Look for a laser printer that offers compatibility to Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, as well as Wi-Fi printing. Another consideration to keep in mind is how well your printer performs. Some printers only take a few seconds to warm up and print, while others can leave you waiting to begin the printing job. Print speeds are measured in pages per minute (ppm). Printers that can print 32 or more pages per minute are considered speedy and efficient.
