Recently, we told you that Polaroid launched a new color mobile printer that uses no ink. Yes, there is a way to print images without a single drop of ink. The trick is in a special type of paper developend by Zink Imaging (“Zink” also stands for “zero ink”). The paper incorporates color crystals that… Continue reading Zink Inkless Paper
The other day, Xerox Corporation announced the development of “non-contact flash fusing” – a major technology breakthrough in high-speed color printing. The innovation enables color xerographic continuous feed printers to achieve speeds of nearly 500 color pages per minute. By flashing a high-intensity Xenon light more than 2,000 times per second, Xerox printers fuse the… Continue reading Xerox Flash-fusing Technology Quintuples Printing Speeds
One of the important aspects to think of when choosing a printer or buying a replacement cartridge, is how much ink or toner that cartridge actually contains. Amount of ink or toner in cartridge is usually called cartridge yield or page yield. When you turn to see what the yield of a cartridge is, you… Continue reading What 5 Percent Coverage Page Looks Like
Briefly, LED (Light Emmitting Diode) technology allows for smaller and more reliable printing devices no ozone when printing higher imaging precision information security To give it a detailed explanaition, I first need to tell what laser printing technology is. Laser printing is a common name for printing using method of dry electrostatic transfer. This method intents… Continue reading What Is The Difference Between LED and Laser Printing Technology?
Students of Georgia Institute of Technology has created a robot named PrintBot that can print out images of virtually unlimited sizes. On their site, Instructibles.com, they published a detailed step-by-step printer creation guide. The PrintBot uses a printhead from an Epson inkjet printer (as it was expected to use it, the printhead, not Epson) and… Continue reading Now Prints Can Have Unlimited Size [VIDEO]
Previously on “How to Detect and Fix Problems with Laser Monochrome Printing” we examined toner cartridge components and reviewed several possible reasons of printing problems. Today we shall pick up from where we left last time. 3. Magnetic Roller This roller in HP printer is a metal cylinder covered with special coating with a magnetized bar inside. This part rarely gets out of… Continue reading How to Detect and Fix Problems with Laser Monochrome Printing. Part 3
Continuation of part 1 This time we shall consider toner cartridge defects, their aftermath and ways to fix them. Previously we found that cartridge consists of several part. Despite the small amount of parts, there are enough factors affecting quality of printing. 1. Organic Photo Conductor (OPC) OPC is also known as photo drum, drum, photoreceptor or photoconductor. On… Continue reading How to Detect and Fix Problems with Laser Monochrome Printing. Part 2
This article covers common issues that rise during the use of most toner cartridges. For practical purposes the cartridge examined is made by Hewlett-Packard and there are reasons for that. First, this brand has long been a leader on printer market. Second, cartridge refilling which is still widely used by small business and home offices.… Continue reading How to Detect and Fix Problems with Laser Monochrome Printing
California-based company has developed a technology that may enable cheap electronic microchips and large displays. As time passed, inkjet printing technology finds application in areas having little or nothing to do with producing texts, graphics or photos. Inkjet printers have been successfully adopted into bioengineering (for printing tissues of human body) and electronics (for printing… Continue reading New Technology Promises Cheaper Microchips and Larger Displays
The inkjet printer has come a long way from a supplementary project inside a hi-tech corporation to most popular computer printing device. If you own a printer at home, the chances are good it’s an inkjet printer. Nowadays, inkjet printers are the most popular printing device for home and small office use, but it has… Continue reading History of Inkjet Printers Development
