1. What is the resolution, print quality?

Define

Printer resolution ( in DPI – Dots per inch) is the number of ink particles that cover 1 square inch of the paper surface.

Images and writing are printed on paper created from ink particles. Therefore, the higher the resolution of the printer, the higher the density of ink particles per 1 inch of paper , the sharper the printed image and text .

Types of print resolutions

Printers come in different resolutions . Common resolution type is aaaa x bbbb , for example 1200 x 600 DPI, 2400 x 600 DPI,…

In there:

+ aaaa : represents the horizontal resolution.

+ bbbb : represents the vertical resolution.

Due to different manufacturers’ printhead arrangements and paper-shifting mechanisms , some printers will have a format type of aaaa x aaaa (eg 1200 x 1200 DPI).

The printer has a resolution of 300 DPI, which is enough to print black and white documents , meeting the needs of ordinary paper printing users.

A little higher is a printer with a resolution of 600x 600 DPI that will help you print sharper images or clear, easy-to-see text , suitable for home printing, small business ….

For the purpose of printing photos and art magazines that need sharpness and authenticity, a high-resolution printer is needed .

You can refer to the line of Laser printers, LED printers with resolutions ranging from 600 DPI to 2400 DPI to help you print vivid, sharp and clear images.

2. Is print resolution important to the printer?

Printer resolution greatly affects print quality . The higher the printer’s DPI resolution, the sharper, more vivid, and clear the print quality will be.

Therefore, printer resolution is very important, you need to determine your intended use to choose a printer with the right resolution.

In addition to the resolution parameter, a quality print depends on many other factors such as:

Printer-independent colors that can be printed in 1 DPI also greatly affect print quality. A typical low-cost printer will have 4 basic color boxes.

Some expensive printers support up to 7 cartridges. Multiple ink colors in 1 DPI will bring images and writing on prints more vividly.

Printer speed is measured in pages per minute (ppm – page per minute). A typical printer has a print speed of about 15 -20 ppm. Expensive printers have faster print speeds. The intensity parameter of printer usage is also very important.

If your printer needs are greater than the intensity of use suggested by the company, after a period of use, the machine will degrade and do not guarantee print quality.

The technology and mode of operation of the printer also greatly affect the print quality. Inkjet printers that use water-based ink are more prone to ink smudges than Laser printers. In addition, the printing paper material also plays an important role. If you use cheap printing paper, the print quality will not be good.
