    The transfer rollers are inside the belt unit and then the image is transferred on the paper by a secondary transfer roller, usually on the side of the machine. The "paper path" is shorter.

    I used to use an Epson ET-2550 ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 , an early model of the ink tank style. It worked well, but had one nuisance that drove me up the wall; if you didn't put it in high quality print mode you'd get a streak across the page. I'm happy to say I have yet to see this with this printer. The print quality has been fantastic so far, the set up was super easy. All in all I'm very happy with this printer.

  • @SlowPCGaming1
    @SlowPCGaming1 2 роки тому +14

    This is very similar to how traditional printing presses work. Epson has a full color label printer that uses a pours ink through single slot which spans the width of the entire print area. No more dashing back and forth to lay down thin bars of ink. I believe they use their DuraBrite pigmented inks. Too bad this superior design isn't used on all inkjet printers. It would let the compete with the speed and quality of laser printers.

    • @iiiaiiin
      @iiiaiiin 2 роки тому

      Yeah but you would need a massive print head. The size of an A4 sheet. The label printer you are talking about has a fixed head and can only do small labels. They do another wider inkjet label printer but the head has to move back and forwards

    • @SlowPCGaming1
      @SlowPCGaming1 2 роки тому +1

      9 inch wide print head isn't what I would call "massive". Laser printers can deposit material to the width of an entire letter so why not do it with inkjets? Bi-directional printing is faster than single pass printing. But not by much. I've had printers that worked both ways.

      @iiiaiiin 2 роки тому

      @@SlowPCGaming1 I mean it's pretty big. No way they could be competitive with current prices but get what you are saying.
      You should look into the Workforce Enterprise units that they do. Those actually have a large print head but obviously those don't come cheap

    • @SlowPCGaming1
      @SlowPCGaming1 2 роки тому

      Epson has an opportunity to blaze forward by making a new printhead design. Making it standard on all their machines with a single page width printer. Few moving parts to break, cheaper construction, cheaper repairs, and so forth. I have no real interest in inkjets for one key reason: clogged nozzles and cleaning cycles that use your own ink to purge blockages or cat hair off a page.

    • @iiiaiiin
      @iiiaiiin 2 роки тому

      @@SlowPCGaming1 Just to let you know, the printhead that you are referring to on the label printer is an inkjet. It is just that it is fixed in place. It still sprays ink onto the media and gets blocked from time to time

    Question: I was taught that the paper is being entirely negatively charged, then the laser passes on the places where ink is *not* needed, releasing said charge, then the powdered ink is sticking to the negative charged places.
    I did a quick search and found both your and my explanation scattered around the web. Any idea why both exist? Is it 2 technologies or one is a common misconception?

    • @mal6232
      @mal6232 2 роки тому +1

      The laser discharges the drum in the areas where no toner is required, at least it did on the machines I used to work on. The paper itself is not subjected to a charge per se, it is the highly charged transfer roller that attracts the toner from the drum surface towards itself, it is just that the paper is in the way so the toner sticks to the paper on its way to the fuser.

    In color laser printing, the toner is not transferred directly from the cartridge to the sheet, it is transferred to the ITB, from there already with the complete image and its colors in order, it is transferred to the sheet.
    ITB: intermediate transfer band.
