For Reliable Print Quality, These 3 Things Must Be Considered When Buying a Printer Machine

Astragraphia Document Solution - One of the tendencies of customers when they want to buy a printer is not knowing the advantages and fundamental differences of the type of printer they are going to buy. Most will only look at the economic and practical aspects. Even though buying a printer machine is something that must be considered carefully, both for end-users and for companies and governments who want to procure it, so they can get maximum printing results.

Currently, two technologies dominate printing machine technology: laser printers and inkjet printers. Printers with laser and inkjet technology certainly have different prices when compared. Laser printers are more expensive than inkjet printers because they are the most recent technology. However, even though the price appears to be slightly higher, laser printers are worth considering because they are less expensive to maintain. As a result, if you want dependable and comprehensive print quality, you must consider these three factors before purchasing a printer machine.

Print Quality

Laser printers are printing machines with the latest technology that can produce very good print quality. There are several factors that you should know, how come laser printers are more reliable when it comes to print quality. First, the type of ink used by the laser is in powder form, which is stored in the toner. The way laser printers work is to print documents, namely by gluing melted toner all over the paper together, causing better print results. Second, printer printouts using toner have an even and consistent quality on each sheet compared to the print head on an inkjet printer, especially if it is used too often. With these two things apart from the higher quality results, the ink on printouts using a laser printer is more durable and does not fade easily. Dare to prove it?

 

The next thing is the number of prints that can be produced. Both have different numbers of printouts. At first glance, the price of the toner used is indeed more expensive than the price of ink for inkjet printers. However, please note, a toner can be used to print 3,000 sheets of documents with consistent quality. While inkjet ink can usually only be used for hundreds of sheets.

 

Consumables, Duty Cycle and Durability

Although these two types of printers do not have specific numbers regarding their respective ages, however, both have different duty cycles. The first thing to note is the components used. In laser printers there is only toner which affects print quality, whereas in inkjet printers there is a print head. The print head on an inkjet laser is usually often the main problem for early damage to the inkjet printer, because it is used too often resulting in the print head being damaged quickly, especially to replace the print head on an inkjet printer you have to spend a lot of money too, it can even be done many times, you know. . The difference is with laser printers which only have toner without a print head, which can last longer. This is because laser printers do not have a mechanism called print head cleaning, so the machine will continue to function normally without the need for a cleaning mechanism. In addition, when viewed in terms of monthly duty cycle, laser printers have significant advantages over inkjet printers. High-end class inkjet printers have a monthly duty cycle of 30 thousand pages. Meanwhile, laser printers have a duty cycle of 52 thousand pages or nearly double. The reliability (durability) of a printer can be seen from how often paper jams occur. Research conducted by FUJIFILM Business Innovation shows that inkjet printers experience 16 paper jams when printing 34,840 sheets. As for the laser printer machine, it is less than half.

 

After-Sales Service

Things that usually escape the consideration of potential buyers are after sales services after buying the printer. For this one thing, you need to pay attention to where to buy goods, so that the originality is guaranteed both in terms of the engine and other components. Case study, for example, if you want to buy a laser printer with the best technology at the moment, namely the Fujifilm Apeos C325dw, then make sure you buy it from an official distributor, namely Astragraphia. Because in addition to guaranteed authenticity, the after-purchase service is also more reliable and has an official guarantee from Astragraphia.

Well, the three factors above have provided knowledge about why laser printers are more appropriate for you if you want to get maximum printouts from a printer machine. In essence, buying a printer is not only seen from just whether or not the printer is cheap. Because, if we are careful with all kinds of maintenance, inkjet printers require maintenance costs that are more expensive than laser printers. To be able to get the best results in printing, there's nothing wrong with investing more in a laser printer machine that has various advantages.
