What is the difference between laser printers and inkjet printers?

Laser printers

 

Using lasers in printers may sound like a dangerous technology, especially with so much paper around, but the funny thing is that these are actually some of the simplest printers out there. So how do they work?

 

The principle of laser printers is to use laser scanning imaging technology to charge the imaging drum with static electricity to attract toner, while the heating roller heats the paper to fuse the toner inside the paper to complete the thermal imaging printing process.

 

Laser printers are usually used in offices and workplaces, not at home. They use toner rather than printer ink and are more economical, especially when used on a large scale. High printing accuracy, speed, and cheap and durable supplies are its advantages.

 

Duplex laser printers allow automatic duplex printing, while inkjet printers require a manual approach for duplex printing.

They can handle color printing, but not nearly as well as inkjet printers can handle photos and images.

 

Inkjet printers

 

Inkjet printers have become the most commonly used printers because they can provide excellent print quality without breaking the bank. You'll find inkjet printers of all shapes and sizes, from very large A3 photo printers all the way up to small wireless and portable compact printers that you can take with you on business trips.

 

Inkjet printing works by depositing very tiny droplets of ink precisely onto the paper to form an image. It has the advantages of small size, easy and convenient operation, low printing noise, and the ability to produce images comparable to photographs when using specialized paper.

 

Dpi (droplets per inch or dots per inch) is a common acronym that you will see when referring to inkjet printers. For example, when a printer has a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi, this means that the printer will place 600 dots per inch horizontally and 600 dots per inch vertically. Printers with higher dpi will produce better print quality. Lower dpi will generally increase print speed and reduce ink consumption, but it will reduce print quality.

Advantages of Thermal Inkjet Printer

Understanding Thermal Inkjet Technology Thermal  inkjet technology  is a non-impact printing method that involves the use of tiny droplets of ink expelled onto the printing surface. It relies on thermal energy to heat the ink and create the necessary pressure for droplet ejection. This technology enables precise and controlled placement of ink droplets, resulting in high-resolution prints. How Thermal Inkjet Printers Work Thermal inkjet printer  consist of a print head with a series of microscopic nozzles. These nozzles are heated rapidly using a tiny heating element. As the ink within the nozzles heats up, it forms a vapor bubble, which forces an ink droplet out of the nozzle and onto the paper or other printing substrate. This process repeats for each required dot, creating the desired image or text. High-Quality Prints with Exceptional Detail One of the primary advantages of thermal inkjet printers is their ability to produce prints with exceptional detail and clarity. The precise c

What is continuous inkjet printing?

Inkjet printers are the most common type of printers used today. Two main methods can be distinguished: drop-on-demand and continuous inkjet technologies . Dod printers work by expelling tiny ink droplets, one drop at a time, with each drop precisely placed onto the substrate. Continuous inkjet printers expel ink from the print nozzles in a continuous, steady flow. Typical substrates suited to inkjet printing include paper, films, metal, plastics, and many other materials. A closer look at CIJ printing An industrial Continuous Inkjet ( CIJ ) printer is used for coding and marking products and packaging during production and packaging processes. Mainly variable data is printed; typical applications include expiry dates, batch and production information, serial numbers, and promotional codes. CIJ printing is a non-contact, versatile solution for these use cases, providing high-quality, reliable coding on fast-paced production lines. By reliably coding each product they can help to ensure
