Laser printer
Inkjet printer
This is the most common type of printers in our time. Fast, compact, making high-quality copies of documents and photos and at the same time not expensive. These printers work on the basis of cartridges in which ink is poured. Printing is done by ejecting ink through the nozzles of the print head using gases( Bubble Jet thermal technology) or a diaphragm( Ink Jet piezoelectric technology).The first method is the most common method.allows you to achieve high quality text printing.
When printing photos, sometimes you may encounter a problem of clarity: the image may appear blurry. Technology Ink Jet allows you to achieve high quality, both text and photos. True, the cost of a printer with ink cartridges of Ink Jet technology is much higher than that of its thermojet colleague. It is also worth noting that the cartridges themselves wear out fairly quickly with frequent use, and with a long absence of work, the ink may dry up and the cartridge will have to be changed. When choosing inkjet printers, you should pay attention to the presence of a color cartridge and the monthly print volume, i.e.how many pages can be printed without refilling the cartridge. So, we calculate the pros and cons. Advantages of inkjet printers:
- Relatively high speed of printing;
- Color printing capability;
- Good quality of texts and images;
- Compact;
- Low noise;
- Low cost of the printer itself.
Disadvantages:
- High cost of consumables( ink cartridges, ink cartridges);
- Limited print head service life of the cartridge;
- A laborious replacement of ink.
Inkjet printers have torn the palm tree among the budget models and are the ideal option for a home.
Laser printer
The laser printer has the highest quality of printing, but at the same time is the most expensive in the market of printing devices. The principle of operation of such a printer resembles the work of a photocopier( copier), with one difference: the image formation occurs with the help of a laser. Documents and photos printed with a laser printer have high image quality, are resistant to fading and moisture. So, photos printed on an inkjet printer, in conditions of high humidity, can "flow", and those printed on a laser printer will not lose their clarity. In operation, the laser printer uses powder-toner.
Unlike ink, the toner does not dry out in the cartridge and can be used after a long timeout. A distinctive feature of the laser printer is the application of the toner almost simultaneously along the entire length of the print line, which allows achieving the highest printing speed among other types of printers. But at the same time, the laser printer consumes a huge amount of energy when printing, which requires connecting it to uninterruptible power supplies of high power.
It should be noted that during operation the laser printer allocates ozone, which can cause huge harm to human health. Therefore, it is necessary to well ventilate the room in which the printer is located.
Summing up, we can distinguish the following advantages of laser printing devices:
- Excellent quality of printing text and photos;
- High resistance to fading and moisture;
- High speed printing;
- Relatively low cost of a copy of one document;
- Low noise.
Among the disadvantages worth noting:
- High level of energy consumption;
- High cost of the printer( on average 3 times more expensive than inkjet);
- Isolation of ozone during operation;
- Labor-intensive replacement of consumables.
The laser printer is ideal for working and printing a large number of documents and images. It will also be indispensable for creating professional color photographs.
Be sure to look at the video, which gives advice on choosing a printer:
So, after reading this article, you can pick up a model in the online store. But do not forget: it is not necessary, after seeing a suitable model, immediately run to the cash register. It is better to go for a few more shops in search of the best offers, tk.the prices for printers in stores, sometimes even strikingly, are different. It is probably better to look at the MFPs, which is much more functional and practical than a printer.
Successful purchase!
There are only two types of printers: inkjet and laser. Each type is suitable for its own purposes, so use them is for their intended purpose. Do not expect from an inkjet printer beyond print speed, but from a laser low price. It should also be noted that the ratio of "price-quality" is not always directly proportional. It all depends on the printer's characteristics: speed, monthly print volume, noise level, size, etc.
When choosing a printer for a home, you should prefer the device is not very noisy and compact, and also cheap in service. After all, no one likes the printer, which occupies the whole table, or even the angle. Another thing is when the printer is intended for printing a huge amount of documentation, photographs, faxing, scanning documents, etc.: there is no way to do without a "box".Let's take a closer look at the printers themselves, their pros and cons.
