Because of the added customization abilities, inkjet prints from high quality printers can produce more unique, professional quality prints than laser printers. No heat is needed in an inkjet printing process and final prints take on the finish of the paper they’re applied to. Inkjet printers use liquid ink, which seeps into the pores of paper rather than sitting on top. Laser printers can print very fast, and are great for longer page documents or test prints. Laser printers use toner (colored powder) which is applied to sheets of laser printer paper with heat. The affixed toner sits on top of the paper in its final, printed form and has a plastic-like shine to it. Many regular and medium formats also include wireless printing capabilities now, too. Many regular format printers now come with an included scanner bed, while most medium formats do not. Medium format printers typically include borderless printing options (since they can print on larger paper) and have a number of different ink tanks which produce higher quality photo prints + richer colors. The main difference between the two is that regular format printers generally don’t print larger than 8.5″x11″ (or A4) documents, while most medium formats can print up to 13″x19″. My previous needs as a designer required me to have both regular format and medium format home inkjet printers. I hope this will be helpful the next time you’re in the market for a new printer! Along with why I use and love both of these, I’ve also listed any negatives associated with each. Your specific printer needs will determine which is most useful to you. Let me preface this by saying getting both of these is certainly not necessary for every home crafter or designer.
Both are listed below with specific reasons why they’re my favorites, along with my favorite paper to use with them! Pin it for later! After using different printers at all of the jobs I’ve held, plus using my own home printers (which I used for a stationery biz I once had – story for another time), there are two that have always stood out for me. I was surprised to receive a number of emails lately asking which home inkjet printers I recommend.
