Inkjet printers are ideal for low- to medium-volume printing environments.
#EPSON PRINTER L555 REVIEW SOFTWARE#
Inkjet printers are generally slower than laser printers, but most models often include valuable extras with your purchase (such as photo editing software or additional ink cartridges). Inkjet printers rely on ink cartridges – often one cartridge for black, and one each for all other colors – and are significantly more affordable than laser printers.
Laser printers are best for high-volume environments and situations where text is printed more often than photos. Laser printers are generally more expensive (and toner is definitely more expensive than ink), but these printers have fewer moving parts, so they last much longer. Laser printers use toner instead of ink, which does not smear as easily and requires no time to dry. Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses. Laser or inkjet?Įpson makes two kinds of printers: laser printers and inkjet printers. These printers use photo paper, so you can print your own frame-ready pictures. Also, it comes with a 1-year warranty or 50,000 prints, whichever comes first.If you’re primarily interested in printing photos and don’t need to print documents, consider buying an Epson photo printer. The Epson L6190 is priced at Rs 24,099 and with the option of low cost ink refills available by Epson, this printer will not burn a hole in your pocket every time you run out of ink. The scans were crisp with good detail, especially the coloured ones. The scan function also works nicely and we did not face any problems here. On photo quality paper it was much better. We got sharp text and graphics, however the colour vividness could have been better on the plain paper. The print quality in both the modes, colour as well as black and white is very good. The edge to edge A4 sheet got printed in just a little over a minute, which is not bad at all when compared to other printers in the category. The print times are not as super as the ones we got it while in draft mode, but are pretty decent. We tested the colour prints as well as high definition graphics in edge to edge mode as well. We were able to get a speed of 27 pages per minute for BW draft. USB cable, power cord and the setup CD come in the box. The setup process is simple and one can connect to the printer over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or direct USB. Talking about which, the Epson L6190 consumes only 12 wats while operating. This is cheaper than most laser printers in the market, which consume a lot of power. The Epson L6190 is great to have around the office or home as the per print cost for black and white prints is just 12 paise and 20 paise for colour. Now coming to the fun part – the print and performance.
The machine is all-black and we did find it simple yet modern. This is there because you can receive fax on the Epson L6190 as well. At the back you will find the power port, USB port, 1 Ethernet port and a phone line in port. The ink bottles are supplied with the printer and one can easily fill the tanks thanks to its spill proof design. You can also see the inside machinery and how the printer works in real time. The four ink tanks (CMYK) can be accessed by opening the middle part of the multi-function device. Above the touch panel is the A4 size scanner and the automatic document scanner.
