While portable printing technology may not be something new, a portable laser printer is still a relatively new concept that is becoming increasingly popular. The device is particularly useful for business people who travel a great deal and require printing on the road. While the majority of hotels offer printing facilities to business travelers, it will make perfect sense to have your own printer rather than hoping for the printing center to be open at 11 at night so that you can print an extremely important presentation scheduled for nest day. Just imagine what will happen if the shop is closed down or their printer is out of order. Having a portable laser printer by our side at all times can help avoid all these worries.
There are many well-known brands offering laser portable printers. The Dell Company features a full range of portable printers and so does HP. Then there are brands like Toshiba and Brother offering reliable, yet relatively inexpensive printers. HP and Samsung are the two companies dominating the portable printer laser model; HP with its laserjet printers P1005 and P1006 and Samsung with the monochrome laser printer ML-1630. The HP models are less heavy than Samsung and weigh around 10 pounds; however, they are larger and may not be handy if you have limited space. The Samsung printers, on the other hand, are smaller in size and can fit inside the laptop case easily. Their front-feed paper carriage allows you to store items on top of the printer, including the laptop.
If you carry one of these to your office, your boss will be amazed not only at the pace with which you can print out your documents, but also the quality of the prints your printer can deliver. A problem that is common in many small portable laser printers is short battery life or in some cases no battery life. These printers don’t hold large quantities of paper or ink and hence you should make sure that they are suitable for your intended use.
As far as prices of portable laser printers are concerned, they are a bit more expensive that the inkjet models. The starting price for high-end printers capable of printing quality color photos is $3500 and can go all the way up to $10,000. Monochrome laser printers, on the other hand, can cost somewhere in the range of $200 to $2000. As with any other gadget, you will get what you pay for.
