A printer is a computer peripheral device that transfers information to a piece of paper or a disk. It is a device that can be used for printing text documents, images and graphics. These printers may be connected to a PC via a wired or wireless interface.
The most common types of printers are inkjet and laser. Inkjet printers use a print head that sits over an ink ribbon. They are able to print colored pictures and text. However, they are susceptible to sunlight.
Laser printers work on the principle of a photo copy machine. Their output is usually human-readable. Unlike inkjets, a laser printer has a drum that uses a beam to scan the surface of the drum. This beam then attaches information to the drum to change toner.
Some home printers have special paper feed trays. Other than these, there are also all-in-one or multifunction printers that can print, copy and scan.
There are many printers for all kinds of budgets. The cost depends on the type of printing and the features. Typical printers can produce hundreds of pages in a day. If you’re on a budget, however, an inexpensive printer that can print three to six sheets a minute can be a good choice.
For large volumes of printing, inkjet printers are a great option. You can buy ink cartridges and ink tanks from various manufacturers.
All-in-one printers are a popular option. You can save money by signing up for an instant ink program. An Instant Ink program promises you a fixed number of pages for a fixed monthly fee.
