Choosing Direct Transfer Garment Printer Tips
Selecting a direct transfer printer printer is not an easy job. Confusion stems from the fact you can be a variety of products
DTG printers of various brands offered in the market. Your confusion may be increased when presented with the following types of printers feature bears. Well, so you're a little less confusion, consider the following things that you should look at when
buying a DTG printer.
The first and most important thing to consider when buying a DTG printer is a selecting a type of
DTG printer technology that fits your needs. Today, there are three main types of printers are familiar to consumers: inkjet, laser and multifunction.
In general, the type of inkjet printer offers good print quality text, but the results have not equaled the image print laser printer. The price is relatively affordable and suitable for home users, small business and SOHO. But you do not be lulled by the price factor because there are no printing costs per page that you need to recloning.
There are several types of inkjet (color) are packed knack, for example, can print images with the same quality professional photo finisher. So if you will frequently print photos or images look specifically for the printer. You should choose a photo printer with extra features, such as a PC Card slot built-in, the LCD panel to view and print images without using a PC, and the software bundle for image editing.
Tech laser printer is recommended for the business segment and networking that emphasizes speed, efficiency and high-resolution printing. This type of printer capable of printing a document in the form of text and images with relatively better quality than inkjet prints. Technology is embedded in a similar laser printer copier. Choose a laser printer for printing in large numbers, and if you are concerned with quality output. A monochrome laser printer that is not too expensive suited to the needs of small-scale businesses that print a lot of text documents.
Other printer type bears the name of a multifunction printer. As the name implies, the printer is in this category of intelligence is not limited to print, but also skilled in scanning, sending faxes and copying. Everything is done by a single machine. However, the section of this paper focuses only on inkjet and laser printers.
Now, printer technologies which are appropriate to your needs?
Observe speed
After determining the type of printer you want, the next is to examine the resolution. Resolution on a printer is measured by the number of dots per inch (DPI), which can be printed by the printer. So when choosing a printer DPI note the value of the printer. The larger the number, the more detail anyway printer output. In addition, you also need to know that some printer manufacturers have their own methods-with the help of software-to add to the resolution.
Another consideration is the speed. Printer speed is calculated as PPM or pages per minute. Printers generally can run at a speed of 4 to 10+ ppm. The higher the number means the faster the printer prints. But the speed of the printer depends on the size of the document, the quality of paper used, ink dot placement and configuration of the PC. Laser printers should have a value that is higher ppm when printing text than an inkjet printer.
Observe about print speed, whether the printer is able to run as fast as that included in the packaging manufacturers. One thing is for sure, the price should not reflect on print quality or speed.
Do not forget the ink or toner. Talking about the ink or toner, there are some characteristics that need your attention. The most important characteristic is the prices. If the printer will often be used in daily life, the cost of ink can far exceed the purchase price of the printer itself. So, berhitunglah carefully how much should you spend on ink when it comes time to be replaced.
Availability also be characteristics that you should take into account. In which the ink or toner can buy easily? Do you have to buy ink or toner directly on the vendor? What if you buy from a third party, your printer warranty is not affected? Make sure the ink or toner can be purchased from another party (officially designated by the vendor).
Note also the type of ink or toner used. When you decide to buy an inkjet printer, consider whether the printer uses separate color cartridges. No printers installed a cartridge with three colors (red, blue and yellow) for color printing. When the printer should eject black (not concentrated), the system will mix into the three colors. As a result, require more ink printer, and slow when printing. You also have to buy all the colors are there just to replace one color ink.
Others rely on two types of printer cartridges in printing, the ink cartridge pack black and color ink cartridges other carries. Printers with multiple cartridges are generally cheaper in the daily operation, because it can print more efficiently (by spending less ink) and the faster it works.
In addition, note whether the cartridge consists of ink, or ink and nozzle. Cartridges that come with ink and nozzle are certainly more expensive than just a form of ink.
After examining the ink, it is time you calculate: the cost per page (cost per page) as the calculation of the cost of use of the printer. See, how much should you spend to do the printing in the amount that you expect. Generally the print cost per page with laser printers is lower than the cost for an inkjet printer, because the toner cartridges are cheaper than inkjet cartridges.
The real cost of an inkjet printer is not reflected in the price per unit, but the cost of cartridge replacement during operation. There are analogies with the printer manufacturer model business model applied shaver manufacturer. You can buy best shaver at a low price, but you must often spend to replace siletnya.
Want to Print with Special Paper?
Outside of technology, resolution, speed, ink and printing costs per page, you should also pay attention to other things such as how the printer feeding the paper into the machine (paper handling), and the options available.
Paper handling is a way to handle and distribute paper printer. Most inkjet printers feeding the paper through the slot at the top of the printer. While laser printers using tray (tray).
Any way fed paper there are two ways. Front paper feed using a rubber roller to bring the top sheet tray into the printer. Tray for the next sheet is placed in front of the printer, so it takes quite a space at the table. Meanwhile, if the printer uses a top feed system, the printer will feed the paper towards the bottom of the printer so that the space can be saved.
Note also the tray capacity, how many sheets of paper that can be accommodated to the printer before the paper discharged and recharged. Greater capacity allows you to print unattended for relatively long periods of time. Maximum paper width must check. Now, the question is, how much printing you will do and what kind of paper you will use?
Options also needs attention. Is the printer requires a special add-on? If yes, you have to re-calculate the overall cost of the printer. Add-on can be a cable, an extra tray, ink, software and so on.
In order for the printer status can be known by the PC, you should pay attention to whether the printer you want to have a parallel port. It is a cable that enables two-way communication between the printer and the computer.
Do not forget to check the compatibility of the printer by examining whether the printer comes with software control is more familiarly called the driver. The printer should be able to communicate with the system you are using. The other thing to consider is the RAM or the memory buffer that will store graphics information when on the way to the printing process. The larger the RAM, the faster the printer can print complex graphics.
This one may be a bit complicated to be observed, namely printing languages, primarily on the type of laser printer. Laser printers use one of two printing languages commonly used today that HP-PCL or Postscript. More complex language is normally used by the postscript printer that can print complex graphics as well.
