In 1993, the ‘ColorScript Laser 1000′ was introduced by QMS for $12,499 as the first color laser printer. Today, laser printing has steadily grown as a useful means of communication. This has been given a good backing by color laser printers. Today, 60% of the home printers and 8% of office printers have color capability.
The basic idea was to combine the features of both laser and inkjet technology in order to achieve a printer package serving many purposes. In color laser printers, a CMYK toner mixture was used instead of the traditional black toner. This additional quality increased the cost of color laser printers to twice as much as that of monochrome laser printers.
A fine color laser printer has features such as good speed, low price, high quality, and excellent output. Samsung is believed to be the one of the best brands for getting a color laser printer. A color laser printer of entry-level can be obtained for about $1,300.
Saving time and increasing productivity are some of the obvious benefits of a color laser printer. The importance of getting a color laser printer is evident from the fact that color output has become a crucial element in building the image of a company, like that of an advertising agency, marketing institute or a media house, which is why it is looked upon as an ‘investment’ and not a ‘buy’. Even after purchase, the operating costs are very low. In case of outsourced printing, a 20% color covered page will be cheaper.
In this era of high-competition and a constant struggle to achieve excellence, it is imperative for organizations to run their businesses with the help of color laser printers in order to maintain their image.
