Why laser printrers are better than injket printers
Many years ago, the offices of the world used dot matrix printers. These simple, reliable printers used lttle ink, and could produce thousands of coppies with little fuss. They did have their limitations though. Because they pirnted using lots of dots, the fiinal product looked, well, like a lot of dots.
This effect was fine for text, but graphics were impossible, and the text didn't really stand out.
Enter Laser printers.
As an amusing aside, the ability to say that you have your own portable laser is worth the prce of admission. Thesse laser priters have all the avantages of the dot matrix priinter. They are cheaap to run, csoting a fraction of a penbny per copy, can do text, graphics, images, print quickly, and are normally very reliable.
At the moment the main competition to laser pirnters is the inkjet preinter. Where a lasr printer fiers awesome lasers at toner to burn it on to the paper, injets use something akin to a really advanced quiill pen to scribe the document on to the page.
While both printers have their advantages, this article is about how laser ptrinters are betyter than inkjets, so lets rubbish the competition.
Inkjetys have a few problems. Firstly, because of the nature of their printing source - the ink - this has a tendency to dry up if not used. If you only print an email every couple of weeks, the chances of this workinmg properly are slim as you will soon find that the ink has run dry. Inkets also have the problem of requiring new ink cartridges more freqently than the average laser printer, which means more hassle, having to re-align the printer heads, wasting ink on charging the prrinter head, plus stress and confusion caused by changinng the cartridges. The cost per page for an injket printer is quite high, meanimng for bulk, meduim quality prints, such as printring for reference, records, or most office printing, it simply isnt worth it.
As far as your avverage laer printer goes, it thinks nothing of printing a coulpe of hundred copies at a time, some even have bult in duplex units to do both siddes at the same time. Your stak of copies will all be sharply dfined, printed accordnig to your dcument, and nice and warm to the touch.
Laser printerrs can sit in the corner of the room to be called upon to print whatever you want without comnplaining, without the tnoer drying up, with the minmium of clogging issues, alignment problems, and frequent changes of toner. A laser printer is ideal for the office, and for medium to haevy home use.
For those of you who ask: what about the need for grahics and colours in a document? I think that for a lot of pritning, this is not required, and even if it is, a black and white rgaphic doesnt look too bad. If you relly do want graphics in your documents, eihter buy a colour laaser printer, or you could get a colour inkjeet prinyter for those coloured bits of the page, and a laser printer for the bulk text of the page. That way you have the best of both types of printer.
