Dell LED Printers vs. Dell Laser Printers – understand LED printing and the benefits from Dell Color LED printers.
LED vs Laser printing – How does it work
Conventional LED and Laser printers both function based on the same principles of electro photography process. So how are they different? The answer lies in the image writing process:
Conventional LED print technology
Uses a print head consisting of an array of solid state light emitting diodes (LEDs) for light generation, built across the width of the drum.
The print head flashes light across the entire width of the drum, creating an entire line of dots at the same time.
Laser print technology
Laser printing, also known as Laser Raster Output Scanner (ROS), uses a single light beam to scan and create an image.
The light beam is directed across the drum, using a complex combination of rotating mirrors and lenses, creating each line of dots, one dot at a time.
Benefits with conventional LED printers Recent advancements in LED printing technology have seen vast improvements in print quality of conventional LED printers, making them a good alternative choice over Laser printers. The short optical path for the LED printhead allows LED printers to be compact in size compared to Laser printers. With simple mechanical parts, conventional LED printers are also reliable with low noise levels during printing, compared to complex rotating mirrors and lenses used in Laser printers.
