After you have decided that you need a laser printer, you will need to decide on its specific model (for example, choose an economical one or one with high performance and network capabilities). You must understand which parameters are important and important for you, so as not to overpay for unnecessary options, but at the same time, you will not be left without those functions that are really necessary or may be needed after a while.

Step 1
If printing speed is a priority for you, then it is worth discarding printers of the lowest price category right away, focus on the middle one. These printers will print approximately 26 pages per minute or more, as opposed to cheap laser printers, which print a maximum of 17 pages per minute; and it will take them a few minutes to print one color image.
Step 2
When choosing a color laser printer, it is important to have it printed on site. It's also worth reading the spec sheet and seeing how the printer will behave when turned on. Test it when printing in different modes (for example, printing text pages and graphics with a photo). The fact is that the same printer in different modes may not show equally good results.
Step 3
Be sure to check what resolution your chosen model of equipment has. Resolution is indicated in dpi (dots per inch). And the larger it is, the higher the image quality will be. For most types of printing, a standard resolution of 600x600 is suitable, but it will not be suitable for printing photographs.
Step 4
When choosing a device, do not forget to pay attention to the operating systems it supports. For example, if you are accustomed to working with Windows, then, probably, almost all printers will suit you, but if you want to print from Linux or MAC, then you may have problems with the choice (MAC printers work mainly HP brand).
