1, cheese printer
Toshiba Corporation is the largest semiconductor manufacturer and the second largest integrated motor manufacturer in Japan, and it belongs to Mitsui Group. The company was founded in July 1875, formerly known as Tokyo Shipu Electric Co., Ltd., and was formed by the merger of Tokyo Electric Co., Ltd. and Shipu Manufacturing Co., Ltd. on July 1939. Its business areas include digital products, electronic components, social infrastructure equipment, household appliances and so on. Since the 1980s, Toshiba has changed from an enterprise focusing on household appliances and heavy-duty motors to a comprehensive electronic and electrical enterprise including communications and electronics. In the 1990s, Toshiba made rapid development in the fields of digital technology, mobile communication technology and network technology, and successfully changed from a giant in the household appliance industry to a pioneer in the IT industry.
2.Boside printer
Boside, Shenzhen Boside Technology Development Co., Ltd. was established in 1998. It is a professional manufacturer of barcode label printers with independent intellectual property rights and several national patents.

Ricoh is one of the earliest manufacturers to explore digital image output technology, and it is in a leading position in the United States, Europe and Japan.
4. Zebra printer
Zebra is a collective name of zebra subgenus and zebra subgenus, and it is a common horse in Africa. Zebras are named after their protective stripes, and the stripes on each zebra are different. This species was named zebra by famous travelers and naturalists, and the earliest specimens sent to the British Museum came from South Africa.
5. Konica Minolta
Konica Minolta is an enterprise group consisting of five institutions and two functional companies under the holding company Konica Minolta Holdings Limited. Konica Minolta Office System Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Konica Minolta, is the core business of Konica Minolta Group, mainly engaged in the sales and service of office equipment in China. Konica Minolta's first copier
Minolta copier
1960 was successfully developed, and 197 1 year after 165438, a high-performance ordinary paper direct copier was introduced.
U-Bix480
. In September 2006, the high-speed digital color copier for printing went on the market, and Konica Minolta copier entered the era of color copier.
How to choose a color printer
1, there are professional requirements for color, and it is best to buy six-color printing. Due to the use of 6-color printing, the color gamut space is much larger, even larger than the color gamut that can be displayed by the CRT display of our computer. The printed picture will be very professional.
2. price. For home users, printing quality and price are very important. As for the printing speed, it is generally not too important, but the paper size can print A4 or stationery, which can be done by general printers. Generally speaking, the higher the printing quality, the higher the price, so it is practical to know what to do with the printer.
3, ink cartridge life, different ink cartridges, the price will be different. It is best to consider the printing cost of ink cartridges and paper seals, which can save costs.
4. Printing quality includes printing accuracy, ink drop volume, ink color number, etc. If you just want to print documents, greeting cards, calendars and postcards, you can consider choosing products with very low prices.
5. Choose the one with low noise. At present, the noise control of inkjet printers is less than that of stylus printers, but still greater than that of laser printers. You can try it on the spot and see if it's loud.
6. If you pay more attention to photography than all kinds of image production, you can choose to insert the memory card of a digital camera into its slot and print photos directly without using a computer at all.
7. If you have a wide range of printing applications, you can choose two kinds of ink cartridges, one is black ink cartridge and the other is color ink cartridge. It is expensive to use black ink cartridges when printing black characters and color ink cartridges when printing color images.
Types of color printers
I. Thermal sublimation color printer
Thermal sublimation color printer is a variant of thermal wax printer, which melts wax ink on the printing medium point by point; Thermal dye sublimation is to evaporate ink on special paper, which is the most expensive product of color printers in the domestic market at present, and it is also the color printer with the highest output quality using special paper, and its use cost is relatively high. The effect of thermal sublimation is similar to the output of photographic paper, which can reach 300DPI. It is suitable for users who have high requirements for color output, but its output cost is high, which mainly attracts people with quality. In addition, because it is very difficult to control the direction of gas from the technical point of view, the printing speed of thermal sublimation color printer is relatively slow, and the time required to print a picture with the same content is about twice as long as that of phase change inkjet color printer. Thermal dye sublimation is the favorite product of art designers and remote sensing image engineers.
Second, the inkjet color printer
1, liquid inkjet type
Liquid inkjet printers, which we usually call inkjet printers, can be divided into two types according to their working principles: one is to use heat to generate bubbles with ejection force to eject ink, that is, the so-called bubble type; One is to use an electronic drive device to eject ink from the ink chamber, which is called piezoelectric type. The former evaporates part of the ink by heating, and then sprays the remaining ink on the paper; The latter uses pressure inkjet only where color is needed. Liquid inkjet printer is suitable for ordinary users, and its printing speed is slow, and the quality of printed manuscripts is not very high, and the finished products are not good.
Water fear
. If you want to get higher quality, you need to use special paper with short fibers.
2. Solid-state inkjet type
Solid-state inkjet technology is a patented technology introduced by Tektronix in 199 1. The phase change ink used therein can become solid at room temperature. When printing, the ink is heated and liquefied, then sprayed on the paper and infiltrated into the paper. The adhesion is quite good and the color is extremely bright. The printing effect is sometimes even better than that of a hot wax color printer. It can use almost all kinds of paper, including ordinary paper, but it can't be used in print projectors. This kind of printer belongs to high-grade machine and is expensive.
Third, the needle color printer
Needle color printer is the cheapest and the first popular product to meet the color demand. Its advantages are low price, convenient operation, low use cost, hard copy function, most of which are distributed with Chinese fonts, and the requirements for paper are not high, which basically meets the requirements of early users who only output text colors. However, the noise is high, the resolution is low and the output effect is poor, especially when printing color images. Belonging to the low-end products of color printers.
Fourth, the laser color printer
The top grade of color printer is undoubtedly color laser printer, whose technology comes from color copier, and the processing technology is extremely complicated, so the price is also very high. It is generally believed that color laser printers are not fully mature in technology, especially continuous-tone color laser printers. Generally speaking, in order to be widely accepted by users, color laser printers need to be further mature in technology, greatly reduce the manufacturing cost, and meet the challenges from different technical camps. However, in several important aspects, color laser printers are still superior to color inkjet printers. For example, although some color inkjet printers can print certain types of documents as fast as color laser printers, color laser printers still have an overall speed advantage. In particular, the printing speed of these laser printers on tou film is almost as fast as that of ordinary paper, which is beyond the reach of inkjet printers.
