Do you know .... How to choose a printer? Laser or inkjet?

We have become accustomed to the printer - an indispensable assistant in any office. Gradually, however, this type of equipment is gaining and domestic PC users. For someone so handy tool for printing information in work or training for someone - another modern toy that allows itself to print your photos or images. However, despite the fact that your printer in the house - the need for fun or pleasure, how to choose, many do not have a clear idea.

At the current market printers now compete in two main types: inkjet and laser printers. Matrix has long become obsolete, they are very noisy, slow, the print quality is poor, the document can only be black and white, and, of course, of any photo printing is not at all, so to speak mainly be on the first two types.

Inkjet printers
So, inkjet printers. The mechanism is nabryzgivanii printing ink on paper through tiny nozzles in the printhead head. Struyniki can be as black and white or color. However, many color and the ability to provide black-and-white printing. Stojat such inexpensive printers.

However, supplies to them (cartridges) - single, very large expense. Other shortcomings of inkjet printers is the need to use paper exceptional quality, otherwise the seal will run. The paint dries not immediately, and an image or text you might grease.

Furthermore, if jet printer that has not use paint on the head and block dry nozzles, through which it must be sprayed on paper, so struynik requires careful attention.

The disadvantages also include what speed color printing compared to black and white is very low.

Laser printers
Laser printers print principle similar to Xerox. They also have printing photoconductor, and are also used powdered toner. Only instead of light affects the laser beam. Laser printers print always exercised maximum resolution, the printed page does not require time to dry. Cost of consumables for lazernikov not great. Cartridge is enough for a large number of prints, and can be repeatedly re-wheel toner, which is inexpensive.
However, they much more expensive than inkjet printers. Another negative - they can only print in black and white images, color printing is available only to very expensive professional models of color.

Choosing between the jet and laser printer is dependent on the purpose for which it is used. If the primary functions to be performed by your printer - is printing black-and-white text, and you're going to use it regularly, it makes sense to buy a laser printer. If there is a need to print both text and colored images, of course, need struynik to function as a color or black and white printing.

Photo
If you're using a digital camera and want to print their own photos, you should pay attention to Photo Printers. This may be struyniki with 2 extra nozzle (light blue and light purple) to get rid of grainy caused by too abrupt transitions of colors, or sublimatsionnye printers. Sublimatsionnye printers have a special tape, which pressed for the paper and heated, after which the dye penetrates the tape with polyester coating paper. Sami printers are relatively inexpensive, but consumables (cartridges and special paper) doing work with them expensive.

Key characteristics
When buying a printer, in addition to, to determine the preferred type, you should carefully to consider the characteristics of specific models.

One of the most important points is, of course, print quality, which directly depends on resolving the printer is measured in pixels per inch. For laser printers authorization may be from 600 t / d to 2400 t / d. To print the text of a 300 dpi, for print graphics - 600 dpi, for high-quality photo printing - 1200 dpi. In addition to permission to print quality and impact other factors such as quality of toner, paper.

Another important aspect - the speed of the press. Print speed indicates how many pages the printer prints per minute. In black and white printing, it is usually slightly higher than the color. When buying a printer, you need to bear in mind that in describing the model is usually indicated a maximum speed of the press, which is possible at the lowest quality (regulated by the printer). When choosing an inkjet printer worth paying attention to the amount of paint in the color cartridge and toner cartridge in the resource pages.

In conclusion, once again like to recall that before going to buy a printer, it must be clear about why you need it, and what characteristics are most important to you. Then you will only choose one of the models that meet your requirements, and enjoy the comfort of home, which he will provide to you.
