Looking harried but still dashing, like one of Saul Bellow’s larger-than-life, take-on-the-world characters, Horace “Woody” Brock excuses himself to take a phone call. “That’s the problem with your generation,” he tells the caller (presumably not his mother). “You’re lazy, you leave everything to the last minute.”

Advantages

Dot matrix printers, like any impact printer, can print on multi-part stationery or make carbon copies. Impact printers have one of the lowest printing costs per page. As the ink is running out, the printout gradually fades rather than suddenly stopping partway through a job. They are able to use continuous paper rather than requiring individual sheets, making them useful for data logging. They are good, reliable workhorses ideal for use in situations where printed content is more important than quality. The ink ribbon also does not easily dry out, including both the ribbon stored in the casing as well as the portion that is stretched in front of the print head; this unique property allows the dot-matrix printer to be used in environments where printer duty can be rare, for instance, as with a Fire Alarm Control Panel’s output.

Disadvantages

Impact printers are usually noisy, to the extent that sound dampening enclosures are available for use in quiet environments. They can only print low resolution graphics, with limited color performance, limited quality and comparatively low speed. While far better suited to printing on labels than a laser printer or an inkjet printer, they are prone to bent pins (and therefore a destroyed printhead) caused by printing a character half-on and half-off the label; for text-only labels (ie. mailing labels), a daisywheel printer offers all the advantages of a dot matrix, with better print quality and a lesser chance of being damaged.

Any guesses on this one? A manky wine gum? A plastic moulding? A stab vest for an action man?

It’s actually a lump of cyan solid ink.

Sadly, teachers (and kids I guess) have a massive love affair with colour printing. "It must be colour" they cry! It’s better quality! (It isn’t) It engages the children better! (It doesn’t) It’s easier for dyslexics to read! (It isn’t) They get higher marks! (They don’t). And the big problem that people either don’t see or don’t care about is that it’s literally ten times more expensive to print out in colour. TEN TIMES! (Though in fairness, that’s comparing our most expensive colour printer (HP2600N) with our cheapest mono (HP2430N).

Anyhow, when something comes along that might offer good quality and half the running costs, whilst still using OEM consumables, we have to be interested.

The Xerox phaser series has been around for many years. Instead of toner it uses a solid ink, which comes in these compressed pellet blocks. The printer heats these up to a liquid and then presumably sprays them on the page. I don’t know exactly what the mechanism is, but I do know that it delivers at least laser quality at 30 pages per minute. And that’s off a five hundred quid printer.

After a little research we finally bought one to trial and the results after one day look promising. We’ll see how it goes in the longer term.

I might even come back with updates – who knows!

Thanks
