From large to small and everything in between, office printers cater to a wide variety of needs and preferences.
No matter how much your organisation uses digital services, printed documents are easier to read and often necessary for many types of workflows and sectors, from legal and healthcare to manufacturing and retail. That's why office printers remain essential workplace tools, and why Sharp have a wide range of office printers to support you.
How much space do you have?
When looking for an office printer, it's important to keep in mind how much space you have available and how extensive your printing needs are. For those with spacious offices, a large printer could be a good fit, however, if you're working from a home office or an office with limited space a smaller desktop printer may be the best option.
What are your printing needs?
While some printers are single function and are designed solely for printing documents, multifunction office printers, also known as all-in-one printers, offer additional capabilities such as scanning and photocopying. These printers can even be equipped with advanced finishing options like booklet-making and hole punching, which means you can tailor your printer to best support your needs.
You should also consider if you will need an A4 printer or an A3 printer, and whether a black & white printer will suit your needs or if a colour printer is a necessity.
Office printers vs Desktop printers; which is best for you?
Whether you need a basic A4 black & white printer or a multifunctional A3 colour printer, there are a range of devices to choose from that cater to a variety of needs. Home office users and those with limited space often opt for desktop printers, which can offer affordable A4 printing, whilst some models are also capable of printing in A3 size, both in colour as well as black & white.
Whilst desktop printers are perfect for small teams or businesses with low printing requirements, office printers are more suitable for companies that have high printing needs that may vary more, making them ideal for a variety of small and medium businesses. Light production printers, designed for speed and reliability, are great office printers that are best for teams or departments that require high print volumes and a variety of finishing options.
