Buy Printers

Which printer to buy?

I do not have printer. Should I get a piece of an inkjet printer or a laser printer? It all depends on your needs. For example, you want to print in color, a laser printer is probably not in question, as color laser printers have only from about 1,000 euros. Or maybe a color laser printer.

Print mainly a lot of text, we recommend a laser printer, because this works reliably, usually has a larger paper tray and also is cheaper to maintain) (cost per printed page. For this he has to buy is usually more expensive than an inkjet printer.

All current ink-jet printer can print in color and are for no more than 100 euros to have. The drawbacks are the more expensive side, and the prices generally slower printing speed.

Pay attention to the cable length

Make sure that the parallel printer cable not longer than three meters. We use the test lab, but also well-shielded cables that are almost seven feet long and the pressure is still functioning properly.

Do you want to bridge larger distances, you can use a serial cable. But then the pressure decreases performance because the data is no longer parallel, but can only be transmitted Bitwise.

The best solution to connect the printer away from the PC, provides the network or a printer server.

Graphics, depending on the printer language as a bitmap (for example, PCL4 or 5e) or as vector data (PostScript, PCL 6) sent to the printer. All current printers have an internal compression and can also print two or four megabytes rather complex graphics.
