Brother HL-2140 Toner

Don't rush out to buy a replacement toner. Brother is trying to rip you off, so fight back. I did some dissecting and found a little trick that will help prolong the life of your toner cartridges for your laser printer. Enjoy! and sorry about the random cell phone noises. Hope this saves some money!

What is the Difference Between Dots vs Pixels?

!±8± What is the Difference Between Dots vs Pixels?

Have you ever wondered at the quality of prints you get? Some glossy magazines and newspapers have excellent quality of printing where pictures, graphs and illustrations stand out so well. What determines the quality of prints - dots per square inch (DPIs) or pixels per square inch (PPIs)? In many documents and also latest software, PPIs have virtually replaced DPIs. But it is not correct to assume that DPIs and PPIs are interchangeable. PPI, in brief, is the advanced or latest version of DPI.

Digitalization of the imaging and printing technologies has been revolutionary. It is why you can protect quality of a document or an image while transmitting it through net. Two decades, quality of images, pictures or documents transmitted through use of facsimile machines were far below than the original ones.

Though DPIs are invariably associated with the quality of printers, pixels get you connected to cameras. The higher the pixels a digital camera has, the better is the quality of picture it takes. The higher the DPIs or PPIs the better would be the quality of prints.

Digital cameras now available in the market have six to eight mega pixels. The higher the number of mega pixels, digital camera becomes costlier and of higher quality. Cameras with lower mega pixels are used by amateurs or beginners and are cheaper. Interestingly, you cannot improve the quality of an image, picture or a document, which originally had low PPIs.

Increased emphasis on both DPIs and PPIs not only make them an integral part of the contemporary print technology, be it of pictures or illustrations or printing of documents and other materials.

Those familiar with the printers and print technology understand that DPI is now fading out, as did the dot matrix technology. Agreed, both DPI and PPI have a direct bearing on the resolution or the quality of a print or a picture. But since letterpress-printing machines have paved way for offset printing machines, similarly printers have graduated from dot matrix to laser jets.Laser jets or even color laser printers have their quality of prints judged from the PPIs they generate. The lower the number of pixels; the hazy or pixilated print is the end product. In other words, since the number of pixels printed in an inch is small, size of pixels stays big and that affects the quality of the print. Smaller and larger number of pixels per inch indicates not only better quality but also pleasing to eye or catchy prints.

A given image or a picture can be printed in the given size or by reducing or increasing its size. Experts always advise against creating new pixels through use of computer. This alters the image quality. While changing the size of the picture or the image, it is recommended to throw away the number of pixels. In case you want to have an enlargement of the same picture or image later, it may not produce as good results as you would have with the original PPIs.

Oki C3600 Toner Review

!±8± Oki C3600 Toner Review

A colour laser printer is most likely the perfect solution with regard to home offices that print a great amount of colour documents. Available for close to £270, the Oki C3600 is network-ready and prints at an impressive speed in comparison with its competitors, but unfortunately it's much larger as compared to the majority of printers and also does not have fancy features such as a full colour LCD screen and a wireless print server.

We are not too impressed with the C3600's design, but we have really never been too taken with laser printers generally speaking. The matte white C3600 measures 371 x 290 x 478mm and weighs around 46lbs. We would not refer to it as a behemoth, but it's much larger compared to the Samsung CLP315W, which only measures 389 x 244 x 312mm. The C3600 also weighs about 9 kg more compared to the CLP-315W, therefore people who have very little desk space are likely to be more happy with a smaller device.

All ports that are needed to connect the printer to your computer is positioned at the back of the chassis, which includes the USB and the Ethernet port for networking across multiple systems. One beneficial feature missing on the C3600 is a front-mounted USB port for connecting PictBridge- compatible cameras as well as direct printing from a USB flash disk.

Given that it is only a single-function laser printer, there are only a few additional features, however we applaud Oki for making use of a 400MHz processor along with a hefty 128 mb of memory, which allows the C3600 to manage even bigger print jobs than the competition. You can even upgarde the memory up to 640MB.

The C3600's cyan, magenta, yellow and black toner cartridges are individually separated and is placed directly underneath the top cover and is lined up horizontally. This printer delivered with 'standard' capacity cartridges. Based on the statements from Oki, the black cartridge can last for 1,500 pages while each of the 3 colour cartridges lasts for 1,000 prints. The replacement for the black cartridge costs about £35, while the replacement of the colour cartridges is about £55. There are also high-capacity cartridges from Oki which can print out 2,500 black pages (around £50) or 2,500 colour pages (around £70). There are also available toner cartridges that is compatible with OKI C3600 at 30% saving. The suggested monthly work cycle for this particular printer is 35,000 pages, and that is more than sufficient for small businesses.

The C3600 fared really well in a direct output speed evaluation with 3 other colour laser printers. It emerged second best in all of our tests, just a bit behind from the Brother Hl4040CN, also a single-function printer at the same price range. The black text were printed at nearly the same speed as the HL -4040CN, generating 15.61 pages per minute, in contrast to the HL-4040CN's 15.66. This could not match the Samsung CLP-315W in the colour presentation test, but it's safe to say that you won't be waiting too long for any document with this printer.

The performance of the C3600 in all our print-quality test looked extremely well. The black text appeared as good as we expect to have from a laser printer, with bold line formation and smooth gradation on font size scales. The C3600 also managed our text graphics admirably, demonstrating remarkable signs of colour separation together with well-defined image variation, even in some of the delicate blending detail. Evidently, some of the images appeared a little smudgy and pixellated, but the general print quality throughout presentations, graphics as well as simple text increased our primary impression of this particular printer.

The Oki C3600 is rather big and hefty, and doesn't include a plethora of features. It does, however, produce high-quality prints at a quick rate, which makes it among our favourite colour laser printers.
