Inkjet Printer Vs Photo Printer

There are two distinct types of printers ready on the market. One is inkjet printer and the other is photo or photo printer. Both are quite distinct from each other in terms of usage and design. As the name suggests a photo printer is made to print pictures and an Inkjet printer is designed to print text documents.

What many wonder is if you can get color text from an inkjet printer why can't you get pictures from that too? Like I said the distinction is in the design. There are many technological differences in both due to which an inkjet printer can't print pictures and vice versa.

Best Photo Printers

With the advancement in technology, inkjet photo printers are also available. This does both the jobs for you. Any way the quality of photos still doesn't match with the photo printers. The main guess is that the all in one printer which does everything, needs to have all like text, graphics and even high resolution for printing good text and photos. The photo printer on the other hand has dye sublimation technology. They don't spray tiny jets; rather they apply a color film.

There are benefits and drawbacks in both inkjet and photo printers. First let's look at photo printers. A photo printer is very quick in printing pictures compared to inkjet. They need no maintenance where as the inkjet printer does need quarterly maintenance like cleaning and even replacement. It does clog too.

The prints are very plane in photo printers and the dots are not illustrated at all even if magnified. Most inkjet printers shows the dot pattern on the print outs. They print very good details of shadows in dark areas too; which may appear blotchy in inkjet prints.

Due to die- sublimation technology there is a clear top coat on the prints which protects the pictures from being damaged from water and finger prints. There is no protection from water in inkjet. If the water spills on the print, it is ruined.

Some of the negatives of a photo printer should be noted too. A photo printer produces very good quality glossy photos but not matte photos. Many printers do not even have such options. If you look at an inkjet printer they have all three options: glossy, matte and luster.

In photo printers you can't use any paper size; you are allowed to use only the specified one, which is not the case with inkjet. Even if you want to print a very small photo, a photo printer still uses the whole film. If dust gets into it then they show vertical scratches on the pictures. A major distinction is the price. The photo printer costs $$ compared to inkjet printer. A distinction which most buyers consider!
