What Notary Signing Agents look for when buying a printer

 



We asked NSAs what the most important qualities are when purchasing a printer for loan document assignments.

When buying a printer, Notary Signing Agents primarily look for a dual-tray capability to print both legal and letter-sized paper, fast printing speed, high-quality black-and-white printing with reliable toner, and a compact, portable design; essentially prioritizing the ability to handle different document sizes quickly and efficiently while maintaining clear print quality.

Reliable black and white printing:
Color printing is not necessary, but high-quality black toner is essential for clear, legible documents. 

Compact and portable design:
For mobile notaries, a printer that is lightweight and easy to transport is important. Breakdown of the top 4 qualities
