A printer turns digital images and text into physical copies on paper. They follow a simple process to do this: They receive the print job from your computer or phone, and then they use their built-in computers to arrange for the text or image to be printed on the page. Printers use a variety of methods to make this happen, including inkjet, laser and thermal printing technologies.
When choosing the right printer for your needs, consider how much you’ll be using it and whether you need a device that offers high-resolution prints for professional documents or creative projects. Also think about connectivity options, such as USB, wireless and Cloud printing. Many printers offer a multifunctional design that combines scanning, copying and faxing capabilities into one unit. This can help to save space and can be useful for home or office environments.
Inkjet printers use a nozzle to spray a liquid ink on the paper, which is then dried with heat and fused to the surface of the page. They’re ideal for creating high-quality documents and photos, and they often include a number of features that can help with this, such as automatic image optimization or borderless printing.
In contrast, laser printers are a more durable option, as they use heat to transfer toner onto the paper and can withstand heavy usage without overheating. They also use fewer resources than inkjet printers, which can save you money in the long run as they require less maintenance and have lower running costs.
