Frequently asked questions

Which type of printer is best for home use?

Inkjet printers are ideal for home use due to their affordability, compact size, and ability to produce high-quality images and documents. With Bajaj Finserv’s Easy EMI options, you can purchase a reliable inkjet printer without financial strain.

What is the difference between inkjet and laser printers?

Inkjet printers use liquid ink to create vibrant images, making them suitable for photo printing and casual use. Laser printers, on the other hand, use toner and are faster and more cost-effective for bulk document printing. Bajaj Finserv offers financing solutions for both types, ensuring you find the right fit for your needs.

How does a 3D printer work compared to traditional printers?

Unlike traditional printers that print on flat surfaces, 3D printers build objects layer by layer using materials like plastic or resin. They are perfect for industries like prototyping and healthcare. Bajaj Finserv provides Easy EMI plans to make high-end 3D printers accessible.

Which type of printer is most cost-effective in the long run?

Laser printers are the most cost-effective for long-term use, as their toner cartridges last longer and produce more prints per refill. With Bajaj Finserv’s zero down payment options, investing in a laser printer becomes even more economical.

Can one printer type serve both personal and business needs?

Yes, multifunction printers like inkjet or laser models can cater to both personal and business needs, offering features like scanning, copying, and wireless connectivity. Bajaj Finserv’s EMI Network Card makes these versatile printers affordable for everyone.
