PRINTERS

Printers used in factories :

Printers are a crucial part of laboratory equipment, used for printing production and expiry dates, barcodes, serial numbers, logos, and occasionally technical instructions or product information. The types of printers vary based on the technology and application. Printers are generally divided into two main categories: inkjet printers and laser printers, each with distinct advantages and applications.

First: Inkjet Printers

nkjet printers use liquid ink to print texts and images. They are commonly used in laboratories for printing detailed information or printing on various surfaces, including paper, plastic, and metal. Key types of inkjet printers include:

CIJ (Continuous Inkjet) Printers.
TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) Printers.
DOD (Drop on Demand) Printers.

Second: Laser Printers

Laser printers use laser technology to transfer dry ink (toner) onto paper or other surfaces. These printers are known for their speed, precision, and efficiency, especially for large-volume printing tasks.

Advantages:

Exceptional print quality for text and images.
High printing speed compared to inkjet printers.
Cost-effective for long-term operation.
