    Different types of Printers – Part 2

    Townsville 3d printing

    Multifunction Printers

    Multifunction printers try to do everything from Faxing, Printing, Scanning, and Photocopying.

    They are usually built in with the ability to connect to your network over the Wireless and Ethernet and also have a telephone port to be able to make calls and receive faxes.

    You will know if your printer is Multifunctional because it is larger than your standard printer and has a flat bed glass scanner on top and sometimes a hand held telephone as well.

    In the early days these types of printers where a great idea but never quite lived up to expectation. Over the years they have gotten a lot better but i still see a lot of problems in peoples homes and businesses.

     

    eMail Printer or Cloud Printers

    Many printers these days come with Google Cloud or Email support. This basically means you can setup free email accounts with these companies like Google and HP and no matter where you are in the world you can send an email to yourself and your printer will automatically print it out at your home and business.

    You must have internet network access for this to work and your computer does not have to be on. Some people have expressed concerned with printing emails over the internet and the security which goes with it.

    I have never seen any problems with this but have read about them, but they are rare.

     

    3D Printers

    3D printers are the new in product of 2015 and 2016. Although they are still expensive, more and more people are buying them and brining down the price.

    How they basically work is you download or make your own design on your computer and via a cable connected a 3D printer, print out your design. But rather printing out to a piece of paper, the 3D printer makes a 3D real product.

    People are using 3D printers to make everything from shower heads to Iphone accessories.

    3D printers have been in the news a lot lately because people have been downloading instructions straight from the internet on how to make weapons and producing items which would be illegal to buy.

    Scientists are using 3D printers to make big and small body parts and bone replacements.

    Difference Between Cartridges and Toners

    There are many differences between toners and cartridges but they main noticeable one is size and contents.

    Ink cartridges and usually smaller and full of ink. When you shake or touch them you will see ink on your hands like from a leaky pen. Where as toners are usually much bigger and used in printers where people print out lots each day. Toners use a powder and sometimes in handling them you will see dust.
