With thermal wax transfer label printers, There are three kinds of such machines.

A.         Direct thermal printers burn dots onto coated paper as it passes over a heated printhead, and do not use ribbons. They are therefore the cheapest to operate. They print only in black, need specially coated paper, and the images tend to fade fairly quickly – as we all know from examining our collected receipts whose information has wholly vanished by tax reporting time. Specially coated, they can last up to two years, but that’s an additional expense.

B.         Thermal wax transfer machines use a transfer ribbon that contains a wax-based ink, which may be black or another color, and make permanent impressions by using heat to melt wax-based ink onto a surface. One can print either on paper or on a synthetic material. People often use them to make bar codes, labels, price tags, and to do other specialty print jobs. The ink becomes sandwiched between a base material and a coating. Film bases such as acrylic and polyester can produce durable images with strong resistance to chemicals or abrasive environments. Inexpensive paper labels are fine for shipping and receiving labels, and for high initial tack and adhesion labels on corrugated materials. The more durable synthetic labels resist abrasion, moisture, heat, tearing and chemicals. Acrylic and polyester labels can be used outdoors, and can be coated to last for a decade, even under water. A note on maintenance: one should remember to clean the printhead before each ribbon change with isopropyl alcohol applied with a cotton swab.

C.        Dual method machines can use either thermal transfer form. This third kind of printer is a sort of multifunction machine. While certainly the most versatile, they also tend to be expensive. Don’t buy more versatility than you actually expect to need.

What kind of printer do you actually need? Ask yourself five questions:

            1.         Do you ever need to print in color?

            2.         Will what you print be scanned or have a shelf-life of more than a

year?

3.         Will you be printing high density bar codes?

4.         Will your print jobs be subjected to heat or sunlight, or both?

5.         Do you need to print to various substances (e.g., paper, film, foil?)

If the answer is yes to any of these, consider going with the thermal transfer rather than direct thermal technology.

The next question concerns how much printing you intend to do. If you expect to be making only a couple of hundred items a day, go with a light-duty tabletop model. If you are going to be printing 500 labels, etc., per day, go with an industrial strength machine. In either case, expect a high degree of reliability, durability and trouble-free operation. These machines are tough.

Other considerations:

1.         What are your maximum and minimum width and length requirements? 

            Again, don’t buy more capability than you expect ever to need.

2.         Extra long labels, etc.; such lengths may require upgrading the printer’s

            memory.

3.         Do you need to print graphics or high density bar-codes? Then resolution

            becomes an issue.

4.         How about the printer’s connectivity? Is USB, parallel, serial, wireless, or

            Ethernet the best fit, or do you require a standalone machine that requires no

            computer connection at all?

In contrast with many other electronics/computer areas, there is scarcely any B.S. or hype surrounding the machine offerings here. Buying is a very straightforward proposition, but you still need to ask the right questions to be sure you are getting specifically just exactly what you need for the job(s) at hand and those you expect to be doing in the future.

What printer should I buy, and how can I minimize printing costs?

The short answer to which kind of printer to buy is that if you mainly print photos, you should go with a color inkjet, but if you mainly print web pages, documents, spec sheets, newsletters, brochures, and graphical charts, go with a color laser, but do not forget to have a monochrome (black and white) printer on hand for non-color jobs. This advice mainly has to do with the printer’s resolution. A good laser will operate at about 600 x 600 or 1,200 x 1,200 d.p.i. (dots per inch), while a good, and fairly inexpensive inkjet can exceed 1,440 d.p.i. or possibly much, much more – up to an interpolated resolution of 24,000 x 24,000 [but see p.s. note below].

Their superior resolution give the inkjets an edge in terms of photographic detail, crispness, and clarity. You can buy an inkjet printer for a very cheap price but beware of this as many of the manufacturers offer some very cheap inkjet printers but then charge a fortune for the ink cartridges so check the prices of the cartridges online before you buy an inkjet printer.

 Lasers are best for printing words, figures, etc., as well as a combination of text and images, with sharply delineated clarity. Let’s be as clear: if things mainly blend into each other in what you want to print, it’s best to use an inkjet, but if instead your primary print jobs consist of things that are sharply defined in distinction with each other, it’s best to use a laser.

If you do relatively little photo printing, probably it would make sense to use an online photo developing store for the little that you do print. Online photo lab costs have come down, and you can upload photos online and then pick them up at a local store or have them mailed to your home or office. Many people believe that photo lab processing produces the best quality images, and give you photographs that will not fade with time as much as those printed through either inkjet or laser processes. However, if you do have or buy a printer, chances are you will find yourself printing a lot more photos than would otherwise have been the case. This can certainly help you to become a much better photographer.

Recently, multifunction printers have made very considerable headway in the digital photo printing market, and, largely for this reason alone, multifunction color inkjets began during 2007 to outsell stand-along color inkjets, so if you print lots of pictures, check also our category of multifunction printers.

The relative costs are very hard to figure. They vary with equipment costs, paper type, what you are printing, etc. Overall, the inkjets may be just a small bit cheaper to operate, especially if you buy cartridges in bulk or do refills yourself. Laser drums last for about 40-50,000 pages, but after that a replacement drum will be quite expensive. In a way, we are comparing apples to oranges. For example, color toner cartridges usually last between 2500 and 5000 pages instead of a few hundred pages for an inkjet cartridge. A laser printer’s power consumption and heat generated are greater than occurs with an inkjet. The size and weight of the printer must be accommodated in your home or office. Still, the costs of color laser printers themselves have come down a lot in price lately, and their cost-per-print can be slightly lower, even for those using factory refills. All of this makes figuring out the overall cost factor a complicated and moving target. What you want to try to figure, of course, is the combined ongoing costs of operation and ownership, say on a yearly basis.

How can you lower your overall printing costs? Odd as it might sound at first hearing, the chances are excellent that the least expensive route to take is to have more than one printer. One size simply does not fit all. If you do a lot of both kinds of printing mentioned above, then you definitely do need both kinds of printers. If you already have a printer – again oddly enough – you can often save a lot of money just by buying a newer model. How, you might well ask, does this work? The answer is that printer manufacturers continually improve the products’ print quality and continually lower the per-page cost. Why? They simply must do this to keep their printers competitive with sending your photos or documents out to be printed. For the best color reproduction, select one of the new 6 color versions.

Now, please ask yourself a few questions:
.
1. How much total printing do I do?

2. How much of that total needs to be printed in color?

Please do not forget that black and white (monochrome) laser printers still constitute the cheapest current printing solution; the per-page cost is roughly one tenth of that of an inkjet color printer, and the black and white lasers’ printing speeds are excellent. If you mostly print termpapers or recipes or business letters, lasers do all such jobs better and much more cheaply than inkjets do. Laser printouts are water-fast, which is not true with inkjet pictures. You must keep the latter dry, or the ink will run.

3. What kind of color printing do I do most?

Are these primarily photos or just general purpose printing? If you print a lot of documents, inkjet is not the most economical way to go because you will find yourself constantly buying and replacing ink cartridges, and paying a premium for special paper.

4. Of my photographs, are some truly important, and some just OK?

Consider sending the most important photos out to a professional online processing store, and printing the rest yourself. To see reviews and prices for online photo printing, visit http://www.printrates.com/.

5. Am I printing a lot of letters and other black and white documents with a color inkjet printer?

If so, stop doing that A.S.A.P! Instead, get yourself another printer for this purpose, because right now you are spendng too much for printing, and to boot are prematurely wearing out your inkjet. You should divide up your printing so that you use the most economical printer for each specific type of job. It is almost certain that, if you do so, you will in the long run save a small fortune.

Another important point in terms of cost savings is that especially if you regularly print more of one color than another, such as a color logo on every page, then to save money you should seriously consider buying a color printer with individual ink tanks for each color. Although they may initially cost just a bit more, the economy they offer is that you only need to replace the inks you have actually used up. This alone can save you a bundle.

No one printer is ideal for all types of printing. Some are very specialized, such as thermal label printers and solid ink printers or large format printers. In many cases, the most cost effective way to handle all your printing needs is to have multiple printers installed on your computer or network. Probably the most cost effective thing you can do is to purchase a new black and white laser printer, and plan to use it for all non-color printing. Don’t wear out your more expensive and costly-to-use-color printer on monochrome jobs.

P.S. A SHORT NON-TECHNICAL NOTE ON RESOLUTION

Some manufacturers identify their printers by resolutions available through interpolation. This has created a great deal of consumer confusion. Some claim that interpolation is basically just a fraud, because if the image were really captured at, say, 19,200 x 19,200 resolution the resulting file would end up being many gigabytes in size. This represents a misunderstanding of exactly what interpolation involves, but it does help point out that by far the most important element of resolution is optical resolution. Interpolation is just an effort to add a slight embellishment to the optical resolution. Base your buying decision on optical resolution, not interpolated resolution.

In certain very limited respects, resolution actually can be improved by means of software. This process, called interpolated or maximized or optimized resolution, only adds extra dots to the image, often designed to improve color transitions. To do so, software uses algorithms [mathematical formulae] to evaluate the dots surrounding each new dot. The objective is to add solidity and, more importantly, to help determine what each particular dot’s mix of colors should be. Please understand that interpolated resolution adds absolutely no new information whatever to the image, but just adds dots and thereby makes the file larger. Interpolated resolution can, nonetheless, slightly improve the printed result. Rather than being a fraud, it is an improvement, though a minor one.

These machines produce characters and illustrations by striking pins against an ink ribbon to produce closely spaced dots in an appropriate shape. Dot matrix printers are relatively expensive and do not produce high-quality output. However, they can print to multi-page forms (that is, carbon copies or carbonless copies), something laser and inkjet printers cannot do. Dot matrix printers are also more flexible than daisy wheel printers, because they can print graphics and text in many typefaces. Although reasonably expensive to buy, they are far cheaper to operate than lasers or inkjets, because their ribbons are non-proprietary commodities, and so to not require the “technological rent” one must pay for ink or toner cartridges. That is why this is the technology of choice for ATM machines, cash registers and many other point-of-sales terminals.

Another reason for their widespread use is that they are highly durable and relatively easy and cheap to repair, and when not used for a long time, their ink tends not to dry out. Also, they are capable of using continuous paper feed rather than requiring individual sheets, so there may be far fewer paper misfeeds, and they stand up well to adverse industrial conditions that might put other print technologies out of business. Their main uses are in areas of intensive transaction processing systems that churn out a lot of printing.

Dot-matrix printers vary in two important characteristics:

·  speed: refers to characters per second (cps), which can vary from about 50 to over 500. Most machines offer different speeds depending on the quality of print desired; as quality goes up, speed naturally goes down.

·  print quality: Determined by the number of pins (the mechanisms that print the dots), which can vary from 9 to 24. The best dot-matrix printers have 24 pins, can produce near letter-quality type, although one can still see a difference upon close examination.  

·  noise: Compared with laser and ink-jet printers, dot-matrix printers are notorious for making quite a racket. Noise deadening is available, and should be considered part of the overall purchase price.

Also take into account the input tray or trays, the amount of memory, and the printer’s compatibility with your operating system.

Consumer electronics are electronic equipment intended for people’s everyday use.

They help keep you entertained, connected with others, and productive. One cardinal characteristic of such products is the trend of ever-falling prices, due to manufacturing automation, semiconductor design improvements, and the economies that derive from mass selling.

A powerful newish trend is for online adults to use their home computers to listen to audio content. More and more people are looking to their home computers instead of their TVs, DVD players or CD players for home audio entertainment, and are deserting their TVs, magazines and newspapers in favor of using computers and the Internet for getting information.

Outfit your home, office or car with consumer electronics. Build a home theatre, and watch TV as it was meant to be watched — on a big screen, with surround sound and high quality speakers. If you spend a lot of time in your car, equip it with a good quality car audio system and powerful speakers. Consumer electronics help to make your office and home more comfortable and more exciting.

How can you know which products are best? There are many online sources of this information, such as Consumer Reports (www.ConsumerReports.org). You can also access free Consumer Reports online courtesy of your local library (www.accessmylibrary.com). Also you can consult the Consumers’ Web Watch (www.consumerwebwatch.org), the Consumers’ Union (www.consumersunion.org), and the Consumer Electronics Net (http://www.consumerelectronicsnet.com/).

You can find slightly more technical but still readable and objective reviews at http://www.CNET.com,  www.PCWorld.com, www.ZDNet.com, and http://www.tomshardware.com (Tom’s Hardware Guide).

Once, nickel-cadmium (NiCad) was the only suitable battery for portable equipment from wireless communications to mobile computing.

Nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) and lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries emerged in the early 1990s. Today, lithium-ion is the leading battery chemistry. lithium is the lightest of all metals, has the greatest electrochemical potential. It provides the largest energy density for weight, typically twice that of NiCad, and its self-discharge is less than half the NiCad rate. Li-Ion cells cause virtually no environmental harm when disposed.

Many Li-Ion manufacturers remain silent about aging, but some capacity deterioration occurs after a year, whether the battery is used or not. Maximum current life expectancy is in actual practice about 700 full recharges, or five years, whichever comes first. You can recharge a NiMH battery up to 1,000 times. However Li-Ion batteries are rapidly improving, so their life expectancy may be approaching that of NiMH. Store your battery (whatever its chemistry) in a cool place (ideally at about 15^oc) when not using it, and keep it about 40 persent charged when it remains idle to maximize its life. It is important to protect any battery from extremes of heat or cold.

Why buy a digital camera? Afterall, film photos have an almost infinite resolution, while digital photos arelimited by the size of the camera’s memory, the optical resolution of itsdigitizing mechanism, and by the resolution of the final output device, such asa laser printer. Digital cameras often produce photos of people with red eyes,a problem that needs correction. While film camera batteries last a long time,digital cameras run down their batteries almost as quickly as you can say“smile” so be sure you get one with rechargeable batteries, and plan to buysome spares as well. Digital cameras also tend to cost a bit more than docomparable film cameras, though recently this gap has narrowed considerably. Sowhy not stick with film?

Resolution is only one factorthat helps to determine a photo’s quality. Because the cost of lenses dependson their size, and because digital camera’s only need to focus light on a tinysensor, their lenses can be quite small. This means that even inexpensivedigital cameras tend to have lenses far superior to all but the most expensivefilm cameras.
