Sound Card - 2What is a Inkjet Printer used for?A inkjet printer produces hard copies of documents, letters, images etc by spraying ink into the paper.
- 3What are some advantages of an Inkjet Printer?Inkjet Printers are portable and lightweight so this is beneficial for salesmen.
This is less expensive than an inkjet printer and the printer does not need to warm up before use.
Can be used to print out high quality photos. - 4What are some disadvantages of an Inkjet Printer?The cost can be quite high as you will need to continuously purchase ink cartridge and paper.
The print speed is much slower when compared to a laser printer.
If the paper is moved during printing then the produced outcome will be of low quality. - 5What is a Laser Printer used for?Electrical charges are used to draw the image on the piece of paper once it is sent to the printer and they use toner ink which sticks to the paper using an electronic charge.
They can be used to produce high quality images or documents as output. - 6What are some advantages of a Laser Printer?It is much more efficient than a Inkjet Printer because the toner can be used to print thousands of prints.
High quality print an be created quickly and quietly as output.
It is more precise and accurate when printing when compared to an Inkjet Printer. - 7What are some disadvantages of a Laser Printer?They are very expensive as the cost of toner and the device itself is high.
The output produced usually has an artificial look and shiny look and is more suited for printing text rather than images.
Maintenance is high as the device uses complex equipment. - 8What is a Dot Matrix Printer?It uses a print head that moves back-and-forth, or in an up-and-down motion, on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like the print mechanism on a typewriter.
They are used for producing a large quantity of invoices and bills. - 9What are some advantages of a Dot Matrix Printer?Relatively cheap to buy
Low operating costs
Can print on continuous stationary
Create carbon copies using carbonated paper
Robust and will work perfectly well in harsh or dirty conditions such as garages or factories. - 10What are some disadvantages of a Dot Matrix Printer?Print quality is poor and important documents are not suitable to give to managers or customers
Very slow - slowest out of all of the printers
Noisy - you wouldn't want one of these printing all day in the office
Cannot produce colour copies - 11What is a 3D printer?A machine allowing the creation of a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, typically by laying down many thin layers of a material in succession.
This can be used for things such as prototyping and large scale production etc. - 12What are some advantages of a 3D Printer?The models are fully customisation as the 3D printer can print complex designs such as phone cases or art.
It allows efficient prototyping as a small scale model of the real project can be produced and errors can be spotted.
It saves time because large scale production can be done within a short time frame when compared to humans creating the project. - 13What are some disadvantages of a 3D Printer?It can decrease jobs within manufacturing as 3D printers can produce projects much more efficiently and accurately.
The products produced have a limited size so, 3D printers will not be able to produce large scale projects such as monuments or buildings.
Copyright and counter fitting is a big disadvantage because if an individual has a blueprint then they will be able to produce the product on the 3D printer and the individual can receive jail time or be fined. - 14What is a Dye-sublimation Printer?It uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as a plastic, card, paper, or fabric.
It is mainly used for printing high quality images. - 15What are some advantages of a Dye-sublimation Printer?Dye sublimation creates a finished product that is noticeably more durable than a product printed with an inkjet printer.
The printing produced cannot be damaged with wear or crack.
The output produced is of high quality and has a more efficient finish when compared to an Inkjet Printer. - 16What are some disadvantages of a Dye-sublimation Printer?The printing process is much slower when compared to Inkjet Printing.
The fabric can crinkle on output so, the product produced may not be of a high quality.
You cannot print an image on dark coloured fabrics.
