Section 1: Evaluating Tabloid/A3 Color Printers Overview A workgroup printer is a resource typically shared by up to 25 networked users on a regular basis. Because it is common for a network to include multiple computer platforms, such as any of the various versions of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Unix or Linux, and because a network printer is relied upon by multiple users, we recommended that the following criteria be used when evaluating which printer to purchase for your office: Productivity Can the printer keep up with your daily and monthly print volumes? Print Quality Does the printer produce consistently highquality output for your workgroup's office document demands? Deployment, Management and Ease of Use Is the printer simple for your IT staff to deploy and manage, and will it be easy for your employees to use? Support Does the manufacturer provide the resources you need to ensure maximum uptime and optimal performance? Sustainability Does the printer meet the industry's recognized environmental sustainability standards, and will it help your office reduce consumable usage? This section examines each of the evaluation criteria in greater detail, covering the specific features and performance attributes you should look for in a highvolume color printer. When the same criteria are used to evaluate every device under consideration, you'll see how the Phaser® 7500 color printer excels against other manufacturers' products.
