The Development of Printer

The once imaging printer is emerging to challenge the traditional laser printer, which can print the full-color photograph quickly. The speed can surpass the traditional machine, but the price is also higher. With the development of LED and solid printing ink technology, the price of once imaging printer will be affordable. The advanced machine has four independent photoconductor components which are responsible for different colors. Moreover, the laser systems or LED imaging systems can be applied in the once imaging machine..

The performance of traditional laser printer is close to the black and white printer. But the efficiency of the machine will reduce if colors are added by the user. The reduction of the efficiency is the inevitable result of the traditional technology. No matter what kind of printing technology is used, the full color photograph is consisted of four primary colors, namely green, magenta red, yellow and black. In order to help the laser technology entering the printing field, technicians try to use the red, magenta red and yellow toner to cover the black toner. Therefore, four printing cycles are created, which is called four times imaging technology. The speed of black and white printer can reach 16ppm to 20ppm, while the traditional laser printer only reaches one fourth of the speed.

When it comes to the once imaging, the LED imaging technology has many advantages, but it still not successful enough. The short distance between the illumination source and photoconductor makes it easy to implement the compact printer design. The rotating mirrors are not needed for the LED based printer which will make the machine simple. The large challenging of LED based machine is the consistency of the luminous components, namely the densities of lights emitted by the different LED should be the same, otherwise, and the photo created by the machine will be not true.

The solid wax technology is evolving rapidly nowadays. The construction is simple and the cost is low. Being a new technology, the solid wax will also have large potential in the future. All in all, the LED based technology, laser based technology and the solid wax technology will have a fierce competition in the future, but the competition will increase the quantity of the products. It is no doubt that the once imaging technology will play an important role in the future office. The related integrated circuit is LT1015MJ8.
