The printer is a tool we can use to print a document (text, image and other views) from computer to paper or similar media. Currently there are several brands on the market printers like Epson, Hewlett Packard (HP), Canon, Lexmark and others.
Of the various brands and types of existing printers, we can broadly categorize printers into 3 types, namely inkjet printers, laserjet printers and dot matrix printers. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these printers, the following bit ulasanya.
1. Type InkJet Printer
This type of ink the printer uses to print the quality of their prints is pretty good on average depending on brand and type of printer. Inkjet printers are generally used type of dye ink which is a type of ink to the advantages of perfect color printouts but quickly faded and less resistant to weather changes. Another type of ink is pigment ink that has characteristics not quickly fade, do not fade quickly when exposed to sunlight, when drying the ink on the print media faster than the dye ink color prints but not as good as dye inks.
2. Laser Jet Printer Type
The laser printer is a printer with ink raw materials in the form of powder or toner. How it works similar to a photocopier that makes this printer has the advantage in speed print documents more quickly when compared with other types of printers in addition to the quality of their prints are also very good and the ink dry faster when compared to inkjet printers.
One drawback is the price of Laser Printer reltif more expensive when compared with laser printers inkjet printers so that generally only used by the agency or office only.
3. Type Dot Matrix Printers
Dot-Matrix printer is the type of printer that the print resolution is still very low and this is because this type of print head consists of needles arranged (approximately 9-24 pin), these needles will be “hit” ribbon (ribbon printer ) so as to form a character on paper. Type of dot matrix printers have advantages in terms of price printer ribbons are cheap, durable use of several proven dot matrix printer I have ever met over 8 years old and a printer of this type can be used to print paper copies or continuous form.
Besides the advantages above types of dot matrix printers have shortcomings in terms of print quality not as good as inkjet and laserjet printers, printer of this type are only suitable for printing in the form of written documents only and dot matrix printers typically have only one color, the color black. When it is printing, the printer of this type make a sound loud enough movement arising from the mechanical and the printer head. In addition although the price is quite cheap printer ribbons, printer prices themselves are relatively expensive when compared with the kinds of inkjet printers.
