Inkjet
printers are generally cheaper and replacing inkjet cartridges is
an easy, clean and hassle free procedure. Inkjet printers may be slower
than laser printers but for the price, inkjets provide mush superior
quality and a higher dpi (dots per inch). |
Today most inkjet printers are colour printers, using a mixture of
standard, common colours to create a multitude of tones and colours.
An inkjet printer will usually take four cartridges at once - black,
cyan, magenta and yellow. Sometimes the three vivid colours are packaged
in just the one cartridge for ease.
photo printers build on the existing technology for inkjet printers
by adding more life-like colours, that cannot be mixed using the standard
three. Photo printers also offer a much higher resolution, with a
higher dpi. Some newer photo printers are pict-bridge compatible and
others allow you to plug your digital camera memory card directly
into the photo printer and print direct.
In recent years all computer peripherals have expanded in scope, increased
their technological capabilities and come down in price. This is very
true of inkjet printers, but also of scanners. A logical progression
is to combine these two technologies into a 'multi function printer'.
Multi function printers are usually a scanner and an inkjet printer
combined. They have the ability to scan, print and copy - without
the need for the computer. Although slower than a photocopier, multi
function printers offer a cheaper alternative. Some multi function
printers also have fax-machine technologies built in so you can send
and receive faxes as well
