I was curious for a second when I looked at the printer in my house. I was like, how does a machine print out things EXACTLY THE SAME. So I searched it up, and this video was just so perfect. The explanation is literally perfect. I undertsood everything single bit. Tysm. Great video.
@@Chainless_Slave7 it is slightly lower quality for text, but nothing noticeable. Pictures on the other hand are serviceable when large, but not very good. This is why I said it works well for text. I consider the lower quality well worth it since you don't have to deal with inkjet cartridges or toner, both being expensive and annoying, while ribbons are cheap and last a while. (DRM on HP and Cannon cartridges)
It always takes me back to my elementary and middle school day when I see a dot matrix printer. I just downloaded dot matrix font. For nostalgia purposes, it looks great.
They are also super cheap to use, just bought a 24 pin one last year and have changed the ink once. (The ink is ~3$ a cartridge.) It also prints with pretty acceptable quality.
Also worth mentioning that in thermal printing there exists a newer technology called thermal transfer which uses a black ribbon of ink and heat to transfer the ink to the paper/label. These produce higher quality and much longer lasting prints than direct thermal where the ink is in the paper itself as described in the video. But they're generally more expensive to buy and use. A positive thing about them is that most thermal transfer printers can operate in either thermal transfer or direct thermal mode, where it can still operate as a conventional thermal printer and use paper or labels which have the ink inside of it.
You must understand: wax ribbon: for paper label. cheap. won't last long. For shipping label. resin ribbon: for plastic label or paper with smooth surface. Expensive. Scratch resistant, lasts longer. For actual product. some ribbons combine both traits there are colored ribbons. shiny gold/silver is just as expenive as other colors, if you pay more you got scammed Cheap printers rotate 1:1 with label roll even if there is only a small text in the middle of the label. True printers only rotate the ribbon when it prints. Print consecutive numbering, bar/qr codes or individual text on pre-printed labels. It can be used for Wine bottle labels. Watch out, some rolls are inkside in and some inkside out. csi and cso there are two types of cores. 25mm and smaller 12,7mm Toshiba rolls hit different. Toshiba is generally different.
With all your knowledge I just want to find unusefull devices such as a printer to just open it up and see how it physically it looks on the inside... I went from makeup tutorials to watching all your videos 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the simple and understandable explanations. Please do not take it as criticism, but only as a small note, addition: in the video on the laser printer is missing an important step. The fuser unit for fixing the color powder.
We know technology in our daily life, but how it's work we don't know. Here comes PowerCert animated videos. Thank you for wonderful explanation. Great job.
Man I. Love your videos. Best and simplest to learn, watch and understand. Would be it possible your start uploading videos every week because I feel like a lot of people including me would learn a lot from you and you would make a difference. Sorry about my English grammar it might not be perfect. English language is my second language.
My credit union changed buildings and renovated interiors several times over 30 years. But they kept their old 1980s dot matrix printers until start of 2023. Work horses that never broke. I kinda miss them.
Fun fact, dot matrix printers are everywhere in China nowadays. Almost every bussiness owner have one in their office. But they are not used to print documents, the law requires that the invoices need to be printed on a special carbonless copy paper, only dotmatrix printer can do that. I just bought one last month, an Epson LQ-610K. I am suprised it's not that slow at all, however the noise is really huge.
@@YustinJ420 I'm using a relatively new printer, pretty readable to me with default font size in word(11 points). I think it's fine enough for even smaller size.
The dot matrix printers were mostly used back in late 70's and during 80's, in some countries even in early 90's. The thermal printers are also used for printing tickets in buses or trains here in Europe.
I really liked the explanation Printers if u go by my computer book u will regret ur life. The language is so complex. Ur explanation is so easy to understand
I’m only 26 so I think dot matrix printers were before my time. I was just stopping by because I was curious as to how they work. At work we have a laser printer for the copy room, but we use dot matrix printers for packing lists, shipping labels, and bills of lading. I was curious as to how they worked.
Quade Carter im 26 almost 27 and i used dot matrix printers back when i was a kid i used to love ripping the paper out and removing the sides with holes on them it was like old tech asmr.
If you do a lot of text printing, I highly recommend 24 pin models like the monochrome Epson LQ-59011, as they print with pretty good quality. A single cartridge costs about 4$ and lasts about six months.
I watch all your videos you do a fantastic job for us visual learners and we thank you so much. In the future can you please make a video about common trouble shooting for printers since they ask those types of questions on the A+ exam?

I sell printers and TV's for a living so this was a great video. I learned some new things about printers that I never knew before!
He's wrong about the print quality of dot-matrix, my Epson LQ-59011 works perfectly well for large amounts of text.
@@Intelwinsbigly not that, its quality is less when compared to laser and inkjet printer.

haha, thanks :)

Haven't seen one since the 90's but the nostalgia is real lol

Are the dots fine enough to print more complex Chinese characters on a small scale?

Dot matrix is pretty much in use in some countries. In my country, the banks use is to update our bank passbooks details.
@@stonedsavage7814 me too then I'll rip the sides into small pieces and use them to trash my friends table or as confetti

விஷ்ணு கார்த்திக் did you do it. That’s why I am here. Wonder what else we have in common...
Just get a laser printer. I got a second hand brother hl2140 for 40USD. :) It prints fast and lasts quite a while.
True
Hehe, tank printer goes brrrr... To be fair, for its cheapness and print capacity, you pay the price of having to use it on a regular basis, otherwise the head will be damaged by dried ink.
I want to buy a second hand dot matrix printer
it's currently $15 dollars online
wow. amazing explanation. thanks, genius
dye sublimation should be on the list too... very good to print a photo and its not rare
Great Videos by you guys. Thnx for a simple explanation and it is very helpful.
