Dynamic and Systematic – Printers And Copiers

It would have been a whole lot more difficult if the corporation known as Xerox didnt introduce its most prized research and invention of copiers and printers. It happened in the 70’s when the first printer was patented and launched. Xerox is a multinational document management corporation that has been producing and selling a range of colored and black-and-white printers. Xerox has been commonly used as a synonym for the word ‘photocopy’ in many areas all around the world. Though it has become common, the company hasnt been a supporter of  the use of its trademark and is particularly concerned about the ongoing usage of Xerox as a verb. It took the world by storm and created a new sense of ‘welcome to the future’. People have been exposed to copiers, laser printers and desk printers as well. It has been a healthy cause and effect type of relationship between the need and the printer itself. Over the course of time, the wants and needs of people have taken a huge leap. There have been enhancements on the usual cover letters, documents and stationeries as well as photographs. If you are one avid photographer, who are enticed by many creations of colors and shapes and wants to prepare them for a picky audience, then it is essential enough that you must have a good quality of a printer.

In the market out there, there are many types and sizes of printers that are capable of printing digital photographs. Also,  some of these printers are small enough to be carried along with a camera and thus the clicking and printing can happen virtually anywhere!

Few of the many factors that one must look upon a digital photo printer whether you are a serious amateur or professional are the following: The speed of priting, the quality and durability, portability, the economy of ink usage and color resistance to moisture and scratches. Also, in the process of printing, you must have the option to choose the original file rather than creating a JPEG or any other compressed format which can give your pictures and documents a higher resolution.

Q&A: How many types of printers are there and what are the differences ?

Question by babu: How many types of printers are there and what are the differences ?

Best answer:

Answer by Timothy

There are four main types.

Thermal – Like the old fax machines, uses a waxy paper heated to put an image on paper. Some portable printers use this.

Inkjet – Uses liquid ink put through little nozzles that are heated up and force the ink out onto the paper. Most popular

Laser – Uses a laser beam on a photo sensitive film to attract toner (fine powder, no liquid here) and then puts the toner on the paper. Then the paper goes through a fusor to fuse the toner to the paper.

Solid ink – Xerox only, uses wax based crayons to put an image on paper.

Most people have inkjet, or a small laser. Solid ink is for busy offices mainly that want a good quality with good speed.

Q&A: Are brand names important when it comes to a printer’s quality?

Question by ChiDep ♥: Are brand names important when it comes to a printer’s quality?
I just bought a new printer from this brand called “Brother”
It’s not a very known one, and my mother thinks it will do crud.

Do brand labels make a difference on what you buy, when it comes to technology?
What are the Ups and Downs of the Brother printer?

Should I go buy a Canon, HP, LexMark, or Epson instead?

Do they cause as many problems as Brother printers?

Best answer:

Answer by D Professor
Yes. Most manufacturers kind of specialize on a type of machine. When it comes to printers the options are limitless but some brands are better than others for some types.

For dot-matrix printers I would recommend the Panasonic or Okidata printers. The others tend to fail prematurely or produce poorly defined letters. These are the printers other brands will imitate.

For Ink-jet printers I always recommend Hewlett-Packard. Their technology is imitated by many and few match it. Just a note: many folks buy Lexmark printers for their claimed dots-per-inch claims. Their quality is still inferior to the HP with less dpi standard.

If you want a dedicated Photo Printer I would suggest HP or Kodak printers.

For laser printers HP / Cannon / Xerox are among the best.

Brother printers are not amongst my recommendation for they lack the experience and technological quality to provide you with a printer that would last for years to come. HP is by far the most experienced in ink-jet printers the same as Panasonic, Okidata and EPSON are the leaders in Dot-Matrix printers.

When you buy a printer you must consider not only the initial cost of the printer you need to also consider if the ink/cartridge/ribbons are available locally or if you will have to buy from a particular store or web site. How many pages can you get from the ink replacement cartridge and the options the printer offers. Does it have the ports for you to read your camera data cards? Does it have options for you to set printer default options? -the cheaper printers are not adjustable- Can you see a preview of your printed page? Can you use photo paper as small as the 4×6 format?

Q&A: I want to find out what to charge for my used copiers and printers?

Question by Waterstone: I want to find out what to charge for my used copiers and printers?
We bought two new copiers and are getting rid of several older copiers and printers purchased in 2002 and 2003. They are older, but still functional so we figured in this economy, fledgling businesses might want to purchase used equipment cheaply. I am not sure what to charge for them. Does anyone know of a site where I can figure out a fair cost? They are Ricohs and Xeroxes. I plan to list them on Craigslist…purchaser to haul away. We still have lots of supplies for the Xerox printers as well since we weren’t sure when the funding for the new copiers was going to come through from corporate.
These copiers and printers were $ 10,000-$ 40,000 when first purchased so I am pretty sure they are worth more than $ 35 now!

Answer by Ann S
One thing is see if your xerox printers are on the list from xerox to be used as trade in on newer models. Contact them by way of their website or if you have a rep from xerox that handled your account they would have this info. Also were the xerox supplies purchased from xerox or part of your metered supplies? If purchased you can ship back to xerox for credit . If part of your metered supplies you wouldn’t be able to get credit and should sell the supplies separately. Check with your rep.
In regards to your Ricohs basically the same applies. You just need to contact the rep for those products. If you want to out right sell I would check on eBay, Craigslist etc. and see what they go for.

Question about all in one printers.

Question by TedX70: Question about all in one printers.
I don’t need faxing, so are there any suggestion on all in one printer/scanner/copy machine that’s have good qualities, last long, at a cheaper price? Why is the refurbished one cheaper with the same product info?

Thanks.

Answer by yisgood
Refurbished means it was broken and fixed so you are buying a repaired printer. Never ever buy a used or repaired inkjet. They have a finite lifetime. There is a used ink tank beneath the printer where excess ink collects. Once this is full, you can throw the printer out. With a used one, you never know how close to full it is.
