Thinking of buying a printer that is best for your printing shop or printing company? Well, I must suggest you read some printing reviews online and be updated on what’s new and what’s out in the market now. Below are three types of printers and their capabilities that would help you decide on the type of printer you must buy if you are new in the printing business.

Dot matirx printers. When your printing business need printing to carbon-copy or pressure sensitive forms, dot matrix printers are ideal. It is commonly used in workplaces where physical impact with the paper is important. Based on some online printing company reviews, these printers are able to produce sheets of plain text very quickly. These are also used for printing very wide sheets, often used by data processing departments for large reports with wide columns of information.

Dot matrix also creates images using a mechanism called a print head that contains a cluster of short pins arranged in one or more columns. The more pins that a print head contains, the higher the printer’s resolution. The lowest resolution dot matrix printers have only nine pins. The highest resolution printers have twenty four pins.

The speed of dot matrix printers is measured in characters per second (cps). The slowest dot matrix printers create 50 to m70 cps, while the fastest prints create more than 500 cps.

Inkjet printers. As per printing reviews, inkjet printers are the most common type of consumer level printers. What is distinct about inkjet printers is that they often create an image directly on the paper by spraying ink through tiny nozzles. Run-of-the-mill ink jet printers typically attain print resolutions of at least 360 dots per inch. These same models can print from two or four pages per minute (only slightly slower than laser printers). The most popular type of inkjet printer is the wide format printers that are able to produce extraordinary posters and banners. It can also print on vinyl and textiles, as well as paper. And their quality is outstanding.

Laser printers. If your printing business is big and your customers are top companies, better to use laser printers. These printers are more expensive compared to inkjet printers, but produces high quality prints and are faster. As the name implies, a laser is at the heart of these printers. A CPU and memory are built into the printer to interpret the data that it receives from the computer and to control the laser. The result is a complicated piece of equipment that uses technology similar to photocopiers. The quality and speed of laser printers make them ideal for offices where several users can easily share the same printer by using a local area network (LAN).

Just as the electron gun in a monitor can target any pixel, the laser in a laser printer can aim at any point on a drum, creating an electrical charge. The toner of a laser printer which is composed of tiny particles of oppositely charges ink sticks to the drum in the places the laser has charged. Then, with pressure and heat, the toner is transferred off the drum onto the paper. The amount of memory that laser printers contain determines the speed at which documents are printed. That’s how laser printers work.
