The following is some knowledge about the printer! If you think it’s wordy, don’t read it, haha!
At present, the most common household inkjet printer is the inkjet printer. The following is the relevant information.
With the continuous decline in printer prices, you can now buy an economical color inkjet printer with good printing quality for less than 700 yuan in the printer market. The improvement of performance and the decrease of price should be said to be the two major reasons why color inkjet printers became rapidly popular during this period. Compared with traditional dot matrix printers, inkjet printers have the advantages of good printing quality, fast speed, quiet operation, and small size. In addition, its printing media is also very wide, and it can print ordinary media such as envelopes and letter paper, as well as Various film, photo paper, roll paper, T-shirt transfer paper and other special media. However, the shortcomings of inkjet printers are also very prominent, that is, the materials they consume are relatively expensive. With the continuous emergence of new inkjet printer technologies, the price of printing consumables that meet the needs of home or general work is not too high, so you don’t have to It is necessary to buy the paper and ink cartridges that are equipped for professional printers. The following will provide detailed answers to the above questions for readers. Printing technology The inkjet printers currently on the market can be divided into piezoelectric inkjet technology and thermal inkjet technology according to the working mode of the print head. Their principles are all based on the liquid inkjet principle, which is also the most commonly used technology for home-oriented products on the market. The other one is the solid inkjet principle. Since it is relatively rare, I will not introduce it in detail. The so-called piezoelectric inkjet technology is to place many small piezoelectric ceramics near the print head of an inkjet printer, using the principle that piezoelectric ceramics will deform under the action of voltage. Printers using this method can use reasonable The structure and flexible control voltage can effectively control the size and blending method of ink droplets, so as to obtain high printing accuracy and better printing effect. Since there is no need to heat during inkjet, the ink will not undergo chemical changes. The requirements for ink are not particularly high either. But its production cost is relatively high and will be slightly more expensive than the latter. Thermal inkjet technology is also called bubble technology. It heats the nozzle to generate bubbles in the ink, and then sprays it onto the surface of the printing medium. Since the ink sometimes undergoes chemical changes under the high temperature of heating during printing, the printed The authenticity of patterns and fonts will have some impact. In addition, because the ink is ejected in a bubble shape, it is difficult to control the directionality and size of the ink particles, which will also affect printing to a certain extent. effect.
Although the cost of nozzles produced by thermal inkjet technology is low, the electrodes in the nozzles are subject to electrolysis and corrosion, so they generally do not have a long service life. Products using thermal inkjet technology are mainly made by Canon and HP, while Epson's products mostly use piezoelectric inkjet technology. Related Terminology Nowadays, in order to compete for market share, major manufacturers are not only competing with each other in technology, but also fiercely fighting in advertising wars. There are many professional terms in them, and ordinary computer enthusiasts can't help but feel at a loss. Therefore, it is recommended that you better understand these technical indicators, which will be of great help to your purchase. 1. Resolution: This indicator is familiar to everyone, but general color inkjet printers have two DPIs, one is the DPI for black and white printing, and the other is the DPI for color printing. You have to see it clearly. The resolutions of mainstream color inkjet printers currently on the market can reach over 600DPI, which is enough for ordinary families. If you need a higher resolution, you can choose a 1440DPI product, but of course the price will be much more expensive! 2. Color gradation: To put it bluntly, color gradation is the layering of colors. When printing pictures, in addition to resolution, there must also be rich color gradations, otherwise the printed effect will not be good. Current color inkjet printers use a combination of multiple ink cartridge colors to print a colorful effect. Creating richer colors by controlling the intensity of a single color ink dot is called gradation technology. The principle of color gradation is to repeatedly spray ink dots of the same color on the same point for different times to show the shade of the color. Therefore, the color gradation is equally important as the resolution. The higher the picture, the better the effect. 3. Printing speed: This indicator is also very important. Of course, if it is a home machine, this item does not need to be considered too much, because the home printing volume is generally not too large, but for commercial printers, this item is very important. It is necessary to consider it. Like resolution, printing speed also has two values. Since black and white characters are relatively simple to process, the printing speed is faster. Color patterns require more data to be processed, so the speed is slower. On the other hand, the printing speed is related to the resolution set during actual printing. The higher the resolution set, the slower the printing speed. 4. Color blending ability: For users who frequently print color pictures, special attention should be paid to this item. Nowadays, printing technology has made great progress in color blending, which makes the printed ink dots thinner, making the image clearer and more beautiful. The improvement technologies include increasing the number of colors, changing the size of ejected ink droplets, reducing ink concentration, etc. The method of increasing the number of colors is very effective. Today's six-ink cartridge color inkjet printers can print photo-quality patterns. Product Structure Judging from the current color inkjet printer market, the four major companies, Canon, HP, EPSON, and LEXMARK, have almost formed a monopoly on the printer market and are known as color inkjet printers. The "Four Kings" in the market. 1. Canon: Canon created the world's first inkjet printer. Although Canon currently lags behind HP in market share, Canon has more patented technologies than HP. Canon's ink drop adjustment technology is an innovation in Canon's inkjet technology. It can eject normal-sized and half-sized ink droplets in the same print head and one printing line. This new printhead is designed with two heaters, one heater ejecting small ink droplets or two heaters working together to eject a regular-sized ink droplet. The two droplet sizes combine to produce more detailed, contrasting, higher-quality output. Canon's inkjet printer systems, specifically the print head structure and driver software, make this fine ink jetting possible. Although this technology does not enhance resolution overall, it can reduce the graininess of colors, thereby improving the output quality of photo images.
2. HP: HP is very popular in China for its high-quality products and services. It also has its own uniqueness in technology. The patented HP photo color enhancement technology has a big impact on the traditional DPI technology. On this basis, HP has developed the "Fulitu" technology (PhotoRetII) and the second Generation intelligent color enhancement technology (ColorSmartII).
The second-generation color level enhancement technology enables the nozzle to emit extremely tiny ink droplets of 10PL that are impossible to see with the naked eye. It is precisely because of such small ink dots that more changes can be produced in each pixel, reflecting the Hundreds or thousands of layers of color gradient changes enable satisfactory printing effects on ordinary paper. The second-generation intelligent color enhancement technology allows users to easily print the best results on various printing media without having to bother adjusting various printing parameters. This allows users to print a single copy that contains images, charts, color text and Its convenience is better reflected in the documents with black and white text.
3. Epson: When Canon and HP were both proud of their thermal inkjet technology, Epson developed more advanced micro-piezoelectric technology, and later based on micro-piezoelectric technology Ultra-micro piezoelectric inkjet printing technology and PPIS (Perfect Imaging System) technology were also launched. Micro-piezoelectric printhead technology uses the characteristic of crystals to vibrate at a stable frequency when powered on. By changing the voltage and adjusting the frequency of crystal vibration to accurately control the size of ink droplets and the speed of ejection, the ink ejected through this technology Only 1/3 of the usual size makes the shape of the ink droplets more regular, the positioning more accurate, and the resolution is also improved. This result enables high-quality printing and high-speed printing to coexist. The advantage is that it reduces ink consumption and reduces printing costs.
4. Lexmark: Lexmark’s products are not very familiar to the majority of Chinese users. This may be related to its late entry into the Chinese market, but its international status is still very high. Yes, it is a subsidiary separated from the blue giant IBM, so it can compete with the above three companies in terms of technology and products. Lexmark's patent is excimer laser cutting print head technology, which can combine the ink ejection hole and the pressurized chamber for ink to the nozzle into one, so that the diameter of the nozzle is only one micron, so printing under this nozzle The resulting pattern is very ideal. Lexmark has also developed waterproof ink. Using this ink with a high-resolution inkjet printer, the printing effect can be completely comparable to that of laser printing equipment.
Purchasing Principles
The first thing to note is that printers are the same products as CPUs and hard drives. They may fall behind soon after purchasing because new technologies are emerging one after another. Come and use it, otherwise you might as well not buy it. Determine the actual use of the printer you want to buy, and choose the printer of the grade you need based on it. If it is for general use, do not buy a professional printer. If you buy the printer mainly to print black and white documents, and are concerned about the quality of the printed images If the requirements are not particularly strict, an economical color inkjet printer is your first choice; if the printer is mainly for office use, a practical color inkjet printer that takes into account quality, functionality and speed is your natural choice; if it is for office use For professional purposes such as design and proofing, only a professional color inkjet printer can meet your requirements. Each of them has its own characteristics when it comes to the selection of print heads. Generally speaking, print heads using piezoelectric technology are better. In addition, the more nozzles on the print head, the faster the printing speed, and the finer the nozzles, the more beneficial it is. Increase printing resolution. Nowadays, most general printers use four-color ink cartridge designs. When purchasing, try to buy this type, because its performance is much higher than three-color ink cartridges. Also pay attention to the interface mode of the printer. Generally, the interfaces of printers include parallel port, SCSI interface and USB interface. Their respective characteristics will not be detailed here. In addition, there are also printing noise, ink consumption, and after-sales service. As well as the cost of printer consumables, etc., this requires consumers to show their keen eyes.
