Printermodellen

Printermodellen refer to the individual configurations of printers offered by manufacturers. A model distinguishes features such as print technology, speed, resolution, and connectivity. Common model types include inkjet models designed for photos and color documents, laser models optimized for text and high-volume printing, and specialty printers such as label printers and large-format printers.

Print technologies include inkjet, which uses liquid inks on various media; laser, which uses toner and is typically suited for high-volume text printing; and other formats such as dye-sublimation for photo printing and thermal printers for receipts. Consumer models are usually desktop or multifunction devices (MFPs) with scanning and copying, while business models may offer higher duty cycles, security features, and fleet management support. Large-format printers enable posters and architectural plans.

Key specifications include print resolution (dots per inch, dpi), print speed (pages per minute, ppm), color support, media compatibility, and duty cycle. Connectivity commonly covers USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and sometimes Bluetooth or cloud printing services. Operating system compatibility and driver support are important for seamless use.

Selecting a model involves considering expected workload, quality requirements, media types, and total cost of ownership, including ink or toner costs and maintenance. Energy efficiency and warranties also influence purchasing decisions. Over time, model lines may be updated with new processors, firmware, and mobile-first features, yet model numbers often reflect generation and capabilities.
