Answer» Quote from: Geek-9pm on July 23, 2011, 02:21:16 PM Do you not know? Well, I'd call it being obstinate, but others might be less kind... Maybe the OP should just start a business...hire about 35 PEOPLE and then buy a laser printer... Then your Post would make sense.umbra - was your question answered or do you still need more info? This topic got a little off track.Quote from: Salmon Trout on July 23, 2011, 02:24:09 PM Well, I'd call it being obstinate, but others might be less kind...Well.. That could also be said about laser printers obstinate Quote adjective /ˈäbstənit/ The rag-tag INKJET printer army has not be able to overrun the obstinate laser printer stronghold. Knock it off please. If you want to argue something take it to another topic. Let's leave this one for the OP.To the OP: summary: you can buy an ink jet or laser printer for roughly similar prices, and the laser will be cheaper to run, unless you need to do printing things that only an ink jet can do. But only you know what print jobs you want to do. One option that hasn't been mentioned, is to have both. Many, many years ago, when printers only ran off parallel ports, I had both at home. I had to use a add in card for the second parallel port. There are things that a laser does better than an ink jet, and things that ink jets can do that a laser can't. Depending on what I had to print, I selected the best printer for the job. At the time I had plenty of desktop room. I had a separate scanner too. Today, because of space limitations I have an all in one.I was wondering if a modified inkjet printers are more practical and cost saver? Most Internet Cafes here in our place who have printing job services use this kind.

Most Internet Cafes here in our place who have printing job services use this kind. You have not, despite repeated hints, stated what printing jobs, other than printing on paper, you have in mind for a printer. (Light/heavy, domestic / business, text, picture, monochrome, colour never/occasional/frequent, etc). Therefore this discussion is likely to become excessively prolonged for no good reason. A suggestion - talk to the boss of one of these internet cafes and ask him or her why they use modified printers. If you mean inkjets modified with a continuous ink system (CIS) (a set of large external ink tanks joined to the print heads with flexible pipes) this may be a possibility. There may be limitations to this type of modification: some printer manufacturers explicitly state that use of third-party inks and/or aftermarket continuous ink systems will void their product warranty. Many consumer grade printers are designed with close-fitting and sometimes fully-enclosing shrouds over the print carriage. It may be difficult or impossible to install a retrofit kit because there is no room to install the flexible tubing that must flex and bend as the printhead moves back and forth. Jamming may occur if the tubing droops into the path of the printhead and is crushed underneath the printhead or between the printhead and cover. It may be necessary to modify the printer by removing the cover or cutting slots into the body to provide an open space for the tubing. Some tank-on-carriage printers such as Epson use a fold-over clamping system over the tank to secure it in place on the print carriage. This clamp blocks the path of tubing from a continuous flow system feeding the tanks, and the print carriage may need to be modified by removing the clamp, cutting holes in the clamp, or installing a retrofit open-top clamp. Cheap inkjet printers are not designed for a heavy duty cycle. Another point, maybe not obvious, is that the guys who run internet cafes have done their cost calculations. Their modified printers fit their business model. Buy a bunch of cheap printers, fit the CIS modification, run each one on cheap bulk ink until it breaks mechanically, replace it with a spare. They are charging money for each print and will recover the costs. A small domestic or business owner may not have a usage profile that fits this business model. If a home user buys a cheap inkjet, in 1 years time it is not such a big thing to throw it away. The cartridges are expensive, and a printer you can get for the same money will probably have more FEATURES. Hack the cheap printer with a CIS and buy bulk ink in half-litre bottles and you are stuck with it for longer and if it breaks you have some tricky choices. The fact that this thread seems to have led to this kind of consideration leads me to suppose that the reason for asking in the first place was some kind of school or work assignment. In that case asking questions in forums is one way of conducting research, but it is not always the best way and should not take the place of proper research done by yourself.

Quote from: BC_Programmer on July 24, 2011, 12:50:53 PM Umbra was the OP, not Jason2074. Yes, you're right. Sorry, Jason! Thank you a LOT for help and advices, so i understood that a laser printer is better than an inject one (i am using it for home use). Also i believe that is better because the toner will RESIST longer than an ink which will dry if no paper will be printed for a long time. I believe i will buy a laser one, thank you again ! |
