A household printer is a kind of printing product purchased by families with children in recent years due to many irresistible factors. If it is distinguished by printing technology, it can be divided into laser printer with more demand for printing documents, inkjet printer with more color photos and documents, thermal sublimation printer and zink printer for portable photo printing, Today we mainly talk about the difference between inkjet and laser printer.

An inkjet printer is like this

 

As the name suggests, inkjet printers realize printing operations by accurately spraying ink drops. The size of ink drops, the accuracy of inking points, and the speed of printing are the three most important reference basis for selecting inkjet printers.

 

What can an inkjet printer do? It can print color documents (of course, it can also print black-and-white), images, and photos for home users, bringing the ultimate color experience to home users.

 

When choosing an inkjet printer, household users should first pay attention to the technology of its core component - the nozzle. At present, the inkjet printer on the market mainly uses two nozzle technologies. One is the thermal foaming printing technology led by Canon and HP, which is characterized by low nozzle cost (the price of the printer will be lower), very small ink drops (at least 1 μ L), and natural color transition in the photos; The other is the micro piezoelectric printing technology used by Epson and brother, which is characterized by accurate inking point, durable nozzle and high restoration of details in photos.

 

In addition to paying attention to the technology of the nozzle, household users will also find that the ink-jet printing products in the market are divided into general ink-jet printers with ink cartridges and continuous supply printing products with original ink injection. Most of the general ink-jet printers using ink cartridges are designed with ink and nozzle integrated.

 

When the printer is blocked, the ink cartridge can be replaced directly. Of course, a set of original ink cartridges is more than one-third of the price of the ink-jet printer; However, for the continuous supply printing products with original ink injection, the ink volume is calculated as thousands of pages. Users do not need to purchase consumables for a long time. If there is a plug, they can only drive the built-in flushing print head function through the printer, which is more troublesome.

 

Laser printers are like this

 

Laser printers are favored by enterprise users because of their durability and low maintenance cost. Subsequently, some entry-level laser printing products are purchased by household users. Laser printers mainly realize printing operation through the heating and fixing of toner on paper. The printing resolution and printing speed are the two most important reference basis for selecting laser printers.

 

What can a laser printer do? Laser printing can be divided into color laser printers and black-and-white laser printers. The difference is that the latter can only print black-and-white documents and images, while the price of the former is often more than 1000 yuan, which few families will choose.

 

The internal core structure of a laser printer using laser printing and imaging is relatively simple. The consumables that users replace daily can be divided into selenium drums and powder boxes. The cost of a selenium drum is high, but it is more durable. One selenium drum is enough to support the printing of more than 5000 pages of documents, and the toner in the powder box is the key to the imaging of a laser printer. Of course, some consumables of laser printing products adopt the drum powder integrated design. The price of a single consumable from the original factory is more than 100 yuan. However, because it can print thousands of documents, the cost of single sheet printing is relatively low.
