The Real Cost of a Printer

Tip: If you use a solid ink printer on a daily basis, do not turn the printer off each day. When these printers power up they will cycle some ink through the system. This will decrease your page output.

Dot Matrix Printers

Dot matrix is an older impact printing technology introduced in the early 1980s. It was the mainstay for many years in the computer industry. This technology is still in use today where there is a need for multi-part form printing. Cost per page is relatively low but the drawbacks are lower print quality, slower speed and noise. Unless you have the need to print multi-part forms, there are better options available.
