A Buyers Guide http://www.digitalprinter.biz/laser-printers-or-inkjet-printers-a-buyers-guide/ http://www.digitalprinter.biz/laser-printers-or-inkjet-printers-a-buyers-guide/#comments Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:07:47 +0000 admin http://www.digitalprinter.biz/laser-printers-or-inkjet-printers-a-buyers-guide/ Should you buy an inkjet or a laser printer? Often people buying a new printer are confused about whether to buy a laser printer or inkjet printer. The short answer is it depends on what you’ll be using it for, and how much you’ll be using it. Inkjet printers have a lower initial purchase cost but cost more to run because the ink is more expensive when measured on a per page basis. Laser printers cost more but their running costs are lower and they have a better print quality because in general they have a higher resolution (expressed in dots per inch – dpi). If you want to print photos at home however, you are best to choose a photo quality inkjet printer. Inkjets are great for home use and for photo printing. Lasers are good for high-volume applications, like offices, or for applications that need high print quality. Inkjet printers transfer tiny droplets of ink directly to the page. A laser printer creates an electrostatic pattern on a drum that attracts ink powder that is subsequently fused onto the paper. This is more complex technology so means a higher price than for an inkjet printer. If you examine the same page printed on both a laser printer and an inkjet, you will be able to see that the characters on the laser printer produced page are sharper. That said however, inkjet printers are getting better all the time in terms of the sharpness of printed characters. Another aspect to consider is how heavily you will be using a printer. Printer manufacturers express the durability of a printer in terms of duty cycle in pages per month. For example, a typical laser printer will be capable of a duty cycle up to 7,000 pages a month while a typical entry level inkjet printer is capable of up to 500 pages per month. Some of the more recent inkjets provide excellent color clarity and brightness, and are very well suited for printing photographs.

Some of the more recent inkjets provide excellent color clarity and brightness, and are very well suited for printing photographs.

While inkjet printers themselves are cheaper, their ink is more expensive per page printed. Ink cartridges need to be replaced fairly often if you print a lot, especially if you’re printing pictures or photos.

The manufacturer’s stated pages per cartridge measurements are very much dependent on what you printing. They are based on only a small percentage of the page actually being covered in ink.

Toner cartridges for laser printers have a higher unit price than inkjet cartridges, but have a higher capacity so that the cost per page is lower for lasers.

As sophisticated technology continues to change the landscape of the office environment, it becomes more and more difficult to determine the best course of action when choosing an appropriate printer. The laser printer, one of the more popular types of printers, has a variety of benefits that sets it apart from its counterparts.
As its name suggests, a laser printer employs the work of a laser beam to complete the printing process; the laser – like a camera of sorts – captures the image to be printed. The information is then printed by the toner cartridge which is standard to the laser printer. While other printers utilize liquid ink in their toner cartridges, a laser printer works with a powder ink that makes for a pristine and sophisticated result. The laser printer, free from ink and, therefore, free from smearing, produces a high resolution, and much more professional looking product than many other printers.
Office environments often turn to the laser printer for exactly this reason and are confident they can trust the laser printer to give them consistent professional results. And when, as is often the case in offices, multitudes of documents are printed at one time, the laser printer more than holds up to this increased need, leaving you free to concentrate on other things.
For a more creative work environment that relies on the printing of graphics and color photos, the laser printer continues to maintain its popularity. As office needs change, the laser printer keeps pace, elevating its technology almost yearly to match the demand for high resolution, photo quality copies.
Because of its price, the laser printer is often relegated to the office, rather than chosen for home use. But either way you use a laser printer, you will undoubtedly find its quality and reliability to be unmatched.

In general, when compared to its rival the ink jet printer, the advantage of the laser jet is not only because of its quality and efficiency, but in the long run, it’s the best value printer on the market.

Ink jet printers actually use a spray nozzle to project hot, boiling ink onto the paper; which can sometimes lead to compromised print quality-the ink may seep, or “absorb” through the paper, or the appearance may look smudged. Another concern with ink jets is the fact that you have to purchase new ink cartridges, and replace the printer heads more frequently as a way to maintain the printers’ wear and tear, which can get pretty costly over time.

The actual printing process for a laser printer involves not ink, but toner powder. After the laser beams an image onto the paper, the toner is actually “attracted” to the laser beam. The toner powder is subsequently melted onto the paper, which creates the image. A laser printer can actually produce images with much more precision, and with little waste, which obviously saves money and allows for extended periods of use on toner. The toner for laser jets is inexpensive, and for larger businesses with mass quantities of printing to be done; it’s economically the better choice.

Not only is the image quality great, you have to consider that many companies now use industrial sized Laser jet machines as their primary printers; since a whole network of office computers can all print from the same laser printer.

Many businesses prefer to use them mainly because of their ability to outlast the ink jet in terms of durability; they also print large amounts of paper at a rather efficient rate. Ink jets print at much slower speeds and can’t produce the same amount of paper volume as a laser jet.

Laser printers are pretty durable and are easy to maintain; while it’s impossible to repair ink jet printers once they break.

The bottom line: if you are looking for maximum printing efficiency,…

For serious businesses, a laser printer is definitely worth the few extra dollars, as the advantages of a laser printer far outweigh the value of an ink jet.

The Dell uses manifold steps in processing the image that degrades the text quality, blurring edges, and leading to problems in registration. Next, the HP laser printers have a fast warm-up and printing time, which is as low as 16 seconds. The Dell laser printers, on the other hand, take up to 51 seconds. This means that the HP laser printers can print 13 pages in the time the Dell starts up and prints a single page. Over all the winner, the HP laser printers, evidently, deserve some serious acclaim!

Essentially, a laser printer uses an actual laser beam to produce an image of a document on the printer’s photoreceptor or metal drum. The laser creates an electrostatic charge on the drum, which helps attract the toner to the image created by the laser. The toner in turn, is then fused to the piece of paper using a heating element, thus producing a copy of the original document or image.

Although ink jet printers represent a more affordable option to laser printers, the multiple benefits of a laser printer make the investment worthwhile. Among the factors that make a laser printer a better option for most businesses and offices are the fact that a laser printer is faster, more precise, and in the end more economical than an ink jet printer.

Laser printers are much quicker at printing images and copies of documents because of the use of laser technology. Since the laser is able to move much faster than the ink jets in an ink jet printer, a laser printer has the ability to make more copies faster.

In addition to its greater printing speed, the nature of the laser’s diameter is such that it allows for more accurate and detailed drawing and copying of text and images, all without having to sacrifice any additional ink.

Perhaps the most important factor that makes a laser printer a better choice than an ink jet printer is the fact that over time, they are actually more affordable than ink jet printers are. Initially, a laser printer does represent a greater investment than an ink jet printer does. However over time, a laser printer will be cheaper to maintain. Toner powder is more expensive than ink jet ink, but it does last longer than the ink in an ink jet printer, which has to be replaced more often. This factor makes a laser printer a more sound investment for offices and business that have a high rate of printing documents.

]]> As its name states, a laser printer is a type of printer that uses laser-based technology to carry out basic printer functions. Essentially, a laser printer uses an actual laser beam to produce an image of a document on the printer’s photoreceptor or metal drum. The laser creates an electrostatic charge on the drum, which helps attract the toner to the image created by the laser. The toner in turn, is then fused to the piece of paper using a heating element, thus producing a copy of the original document or image.

Initially laser printers were more expensive as with most new technology. Laser printers are in fact only slightly more expensive than ink jet printers are. Most would agree that an affordable laser jet printer represents a much more viable option for a business than a high-end, expensive ink jet printer.

There are a few basic scientific principles behind the laser printing process and they explain the great advantages to using a laser printer.A laser printer obviously uses a laser to print, but how does it get the image on a sheet of paper? Laser printers use the process of electro photography whose primary principle at work is static electricity. Since oppositely charged atoms are attracted to each other, objects with opposite static electricity will cling together. Laser printers use a revolving drum, or photoreceptor, made out of highly photoconductive material that is discharged by light photons. The photoconductor, a photosensitive surface, is uniformly charged by a wire with an electrical current running through it, called the charge corona wire, with static electricity. The printer then beams a laser across the surface of the drum and projects an image of the page to discharge certain points. The laser is essentially “drawing” the letters and images to be printed as a pattern of electrical charges.Afterwards, the toner, a fine powder, is spread over the surface of the drum and only adheres to the charged areas, which is how the latent design or image becomes visible. Next, the sheet of paper rolls along a belt and is given a negative charge by the corona wire. The paper is charged opposite to the toner since the toner has a positive charge. With the toner powder affixed, the drum rolls over a sheet of paper. The negative charge of the paper is strong enough to pull the toner pattern away.

A laser printer is one of the most common printers used today, especially within businesses small and large due to its capability to rapidly produce high quality text and graphics. But while you know what a laser printer is, do you know how it actually works? There are a few basic scientific principles behind the laser printing process and they explain the great advantages to using a laser printer.

A laser printer obviously uses a laser to print, but how does it get the image on a sheet of paper? Laser printers use the process of electro photography whose primary principle at work is static electricity. Since oppositely charged atoms are attracted to each other, objects with opposite static electricity will cling together. Laser printers use a revolving drum, or photoreceptor, made out of highly photoconductive material that is discharged by light photons. The photoconductor, a photosensitive surface, is uniformly charged by a wire with an electrical current running through it, called the charge corona wire, with static electricity. The printer then beams a laser across the surface of the drum and projects an image of the page to discharge certain points. The laser is essentially “drawing” the letters and images to be printed as a pattern of electrical charges.

Afterwards, the toner, a fine powder, is spread over the surface of the drum and only adheres to the charged areas, which is how the latent design or image becomes visible. Next, the sheet of paper rolls along a belt and is given a negative charge by the corona wire. The paper is charged opposite to the toner since the toner has a positive charge. With the toner powder affixed, the drum rolls over a sheet of paper. The negative charge of the paper is strong enough to pull the toner pattern away. Also, since the paper and the drum move at the same speed, the image pattern is picked up exactly as it was “written.” In order to keep the paper from clinging to the drum, it is discharged by the detac corona wire right after picking up the toner.

To permanently fix the transferred image to the paper, the toner is fused with pressure and heat. To do this the paper is quickly passed through the fuser, which is a pair of heated rollers. The printer then cleans all of the excess toner and electrostatic charges from the photoconductor to make it ready for the next print job. The printer cleans itself through the heat actually melting loose toner powder away and by passing the paper through the discharge lamp which exposes the entire photoreceptor thereby erasing the electrical image. After these steps, the paper then rolls out onto the output tray ready for pick up.

Due to the unique method of exposition and formation, laser printers and color laser printers have many significant advantages over other types of printers. Laser printers offer the best print quality and highest resolution and have the ability to print up to 200 monochrome pages per minute. Laser printer speed depends upon the printer model and the graphic intensity of the job being printed. However, the bottom line is that laser printers are much faster than inkjet printers due to their unique process. This makes them ideal for users with heavy printing needs, whether they are monochrome text documents or multiple-page documents loaded with text, charts and images.

The first commercial implementation of a laser printer was by IBM with the model 3800 in 1976, but the first mass market laser printer was through the combined efforts of HP and Canon. While HP printers and Canon printers were first to the laser printer consumer market, Brother printers, IBM printers and others quickly followed and overtime dropped significantly in price.
