    Printers, Cartridges and Toners

    Printers, ink cartridges and toners

    We are all familiar with printers and probably most of us have a printer at home or at work.

    But what is a printer? How does it work? What types of printers are there? And how do you choose the right printer for you?

    We at Leader Computers are here to explain to you and give you all the necessary information about printers and advise you on which printer you should choose for you.

    Let’s start with a simple explanation of what a printer actually is.

    The printer is a computer-aided device used to print printouts and photos (anything graphic) on a sheet of paper, an envelope, a slide, and so on.

    The printer connects to a computer via a communication cable or wirelessly on more innovative printers.

    In the past, there was a common stapler printer that would operate using a pin on paper.

    Its quality was low and the noise was very loud.

    Later the printer evolved into an inkjet printer that we are all probably familiar with that it actually contains inkjet injectors that spray ink on the page in the form of letters and anything we actually define for it.

    The printer then evolved into a laser printer that operates using a laser beam and simulates the operation of a copier.

    Common printers for home use are inkjet printers and laser printers.

    Laser printers are more expensive so most of us will have a black and white or color inkjet printer.

    What most people do not know is that the price of a laser printer and an inkjet printer is almost exactly the same if you take into account the fact that an in an inkjet printer, it is necessary to constantly replace cartridges, as their capacity is very small and it is not cheap.

    The most common printers for business use are integrated printers.

    They are common and convenient to use among businesses for the reason that they also include a copier, scanner and fax. That means you enjoy all the options and innovations in one integrated device.

    Ink cartridges and toners:

    How do we know which inks and toners are good and suitable for our printer?

    The name of the model and manufacturer is written on your printer.

    To know what ink cartridges and toners are right for you, you can register in a search on the website or say in the store the name of the model and manufacturer or carefully remove the ink cartridge from the printer and see its number and you will find what suits you.

    Note that there are original ink cartridges from the manufacturer and there are also replacement ink cartridges but in some cases they may not be detected by the printer, so to avoid unnecessary malfunctions we recommend purchasing original ink cartridges.

    Inkjet printers work with ink cartridges or ink cartridges, it is basically a plastic container filled with liquid ink and come as two separate containers one with black liquid and the other colored. There are also printers that come with three and more containers.

    Laser printers work with toners, which is basically a larger plastic container filled with ink dust.

    Some printers come with one black container and some come with one black toner and three color toners: blue, yellow and red.
