#tech4WorkFromHome: ApeosPrint C325 dw Printer by FUJIFILM Business Innovation

Friday, January 21st, 2022

What’s the home printer of choice for my #WorkFromHome setup? It’s the ApeosPrint C325 dw colour laser printer from FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp.

The compact ApeosPrint C325 dw single-function duplex and wireless colour laser printer from Fujifilm Innovation Corp makes a suitable printer for a #WorkFromHome workspace and at front-facing counter-tops of businesses.

The compact ApeosPrint C325 dw single-function duplex and wireless colour laser printer from FUJIFILM Innovation Corp makes a suitable printer for a #WorkFromHome workspace and at front-facing counter-tops of businesses.

First off, FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp is actually the new name for the former Fuji Xerox after the joint venture company (between FUJIFILM and Xerox) came under FUJIFILM.

As you may know, Fuji Xerox was a global leader in laser printers, especially for enterprises and business users.

My Take

The ApeosPrint C325 dw single-function laser printer is a suitable printer for #WorkFromHome and small businesses.

Its print quality and speed, ink economy, ease of use, as well as compactness, duplex and wireless capability make it a versatile printer for the home and at customer-facing counters.

The ApeosPrint C325 dw single-function printer is the smallest and lightest printer model in their lineup and is targeted towards counter services, clinics and small businesses.

I have been using the printer for the past few months and find it a suitable printer for the #WFH workspace considering its performance, economy, ease-of-use, reliability and compact footprint.

The key requirements I have for a home printer (for work) is print quality and compactness, as well as the ability to print colour, double-sided, and from a wireless network.

Naturally, factors like print speed, ink/toner economy, and maintainability also weigh in.
