People often get confused on what to get when it comes to selecting a printer for their office or for personal use. Basically there are two types of printers i.e. inkjet printers and laser printers. Whenever you are planning to buy the printer, keep in mind how much you will use it, and how much is the amount you will like to invest. If you are buying it for personal use with daily print of around 5-10 pages, then an inkjet printer is the best option, while if you run a business and need to print out 50-100 copies daily, then a laser printer will be the one for the job. Laser printers cost more than inkjet printers and are more expensive to maintain. This is because the Printer Toner Cartridges of laser printer cost more and refilling involves more spending unlike inkjet printers and ink cartridges.
Toner Cartridges
The printers using toner cartridges utilize a technique in which toner is blended with a polymer and burned on to paper directly; it is more precise and clear when printing and it does not smear or spread out through the page. They carry a heating element which helps in melting down of particles in the toner. The melted particles then affix to the side of paper and print the word or image.
The size of the particles plays a crucial role in defining the quality of the printout. The smaller the size of the particles the better will be the image printing out. They can belt out 4000 – 5000 pages per cartridge which are many times more than the ink cartridges that print not more than 200 – 300 pages per cartridge.
Ink Cartridges
In the inkjet printers, ink cartridges are used. They work on the pressure phenomenon just like you see in a typewriter. Pressure is used to apply ink to the paper. The ink is cheap to own, and the maintenance of inkjet printers is significantly lower than the laser printers. This is why they still continue to be among the most affordable printers. Due to their usage of ink, the print quality is also great however, if they are not used for long periods of time, the ink of the cartridge may dry up.
Their compact dimensions ensure that they can be easily fitted in any corner of the home or office. The ink cartridge is very small compared to a toner cartridge and the size of the whole set up of an inkjet printer is not more than a sheet of paper.
With the world revolving around high performing and time saving products, laser printers are preferred because the toner cartridge prints faster and prints a better quality that is not easily faded away or smears out like on inkjet printers. In order to save money, the selection of printers should completely depend on the type of work that it will be used for and not on personal preferences. The printing time and capacity to roll out massive number of prints, makes toner based cartridges a favorite among corporations and government organizations while the cost effective inkjet printer is suitable for personal use and in smaller firms where printing is less.
