How To Buy A Good Printer For Your Business
Once you know this information, you are ready to go choose a printer. The first
thing you will notice is that there are a lot of differences between printers.
Laser Printer vs. Inkjet
For the average home user an inkjet printer is adequate. Most people I deal with want to be able to print out the occasional photo from their digital camera and their documents. Some just want to print out their homework. An ink jet printer is great for this.
Laser printers are more designed around the needs of a business. They are more
cost effective for higher volume printing. They do not use ink, instead they use a powdery substance Viagra Jelly called toner. Many are black and white only,
and take a single toner cartridge, color laser printers take four toner cartridges, black,
cyan, magenta and yellow.
Laser printers are usually a lower resolution print and are not considered photo quality. However they give a permanent bond, so if you intend to print out brochures, they are better done on a laser printer. If the paper gets wet, it can still be read, unlike an inkjet. A few of these such as Oki, use a waxed based toner which gives you a nice magazine quality glossy print, most however give a flat finish.
A toner cartridge can range in price from $50 on up. Although toner is usually more expensive per cartridge, page yields average 3000 to 5000 plus pages printed per cartridge. Inkjet cartridges get you between approximately 200 to 600 pages per cartridge. These page yields are usually based on printing text only at 5% page coverage.
Photo Printer vs. Document Printer
In the ink jets, there are differences between the two. This has mainly to do with the ink. There are two types, Kamagra dye based inks, which are better for photo’s , and pigment based inks which are better for documents. Some inks are chemically formulated to work with the manufacturers brand of photo paper, but most brands of photo paper will work with any printer. Hewlet Packard for example has put kind of a bar code on back of their photo paper which the printer reads, claiming a chemical bond with HP Photo Paper and therefore the fastest print.
Another difference is in the print heads (where the ink sprays out from). With Canon, Brother, Epson and some newer HP’s, the print heads are actually a part of the machine. This requires regular printing, meaning at least a page a month (weekly would be better), otherwise the erectile dysfunction cialis print heads could dry up, and then it can actually be cheaper to replace the printer, if the replacement print heads are even available. These printers are generally better for photo printing.
