Ten years ago, a majority of the world was still using inkjet printers in their home and offices. These printing devices had many flaws, but ink printers were extremely affordable, so it made the most sense for a business or home to purchase this printer as opposed to a Laserjet printer. A laser printer is considered much more intricate of a process than that of an ink printer. When comparing the intricacies of toner and fast printing, it makes sense to consider a laser printer as the superior and significantly more complicated machine. With recent price drops in the industry, it is much more affordable to purchase a laser printer, so there has been a notable increase in sales.
Laser printers have a significantly higher output than ink printers, so it is no surprise that laser printers have consistently been gaining popularity since their inception. Laser printers are innovative because they use toner as opposed to ink. Toner is a powder that is used to form the printed text and images onto each piece of paper. Toner is a combination of carbon powder and a polymer. The toner particles are melted by the heat of the fuser and bonded to the paper. The specific polymer that is used in toner varies on the manufacturer of the product. Typically, the polymer used is styrene acrylate copolymer. This is combined with a polymer resin, a styrene butadiene copolymer, or other special ingredients. Toner formulas can vary per manufacturer or even per machine.
At the beginning, toner would have a particle size of fourteen to sixteen micrometers. In order to improve image resolution, the particle size was reduced. Today, toner has a particle size of eight to ten micrometers. There are studies being performed today to further reduce particle size in order to improve resolution and printing. Toner manufacturers maintain a high level of quality control for particle size distribution. Traditionally, toner was created by compounding all of the ingredients and creating a fine powder. This process resulted in toner granules with varying sizes and spherical shapes.
In earlier designs, toner was in a liquid form and had to be poured by the user into a reservoir in the machine. To improve efficiency and consumer use, toner is directly fed to the printer by a toner cartridge. These cartridges can be purchased directly from the manufacturer or from a third party supplier. Toner cartridges supplied by third parties are typically reconstructed from old and new parts. These old parts are from the cartridges produced by the OEM. A HP 3600 toner cartridge that was produced by Hewlett Packard, purchased and used by a consumer, and recycled can now be used to create a remanufactured cartridge to be sold to another consumer. This circle of life benefits the environment and allows for the everyday consumer to purchase a brand name toner cartridge for their printer without having to spend a large amount of money. Remanufactured cartridges are typically priced at half the cost of the OEM toner cartridge. Due to this price discrepancy, many consumers have begun to purchase the lower priced option.
A remanufactured Phaser 6130 toner cartridge can be purchased for fifteen dollars from some online suppliers. The OEM charges $84.00 for the same quality toner cartridge. This is a major price discrepancy. A consumer can purchase all four color toners needed to operate this printer for $60.00 if they purchase a remanufactured cartridge, or they can pay $336.00 for the four cartridges they need by purchasing it from the OEM. In the end, a consumer will have to make a tough decision, but saving three hundred dollars might convince them to purchase the remanufactured cartridges.

Pioneer release the first ever 12x Blu-ray drives
Blu-ray technology has, without doubt, revolutionized the way we experience movies and games. With its high-power definitions, storage, and quality of video, it has left viewers spellbound and dumbstruck. Although it was thought that this technology would never become affordable, with the advent of Blu-ray enabled PS3s all over the globe, and simultaneous innovations in the field, Blu-ray is now within reach for most tech-loving people.
Where there is a new disc type, there has to be a new disc writer. Pioneer has now come out with the BDR-205. This Blu Ray Disc Computer Writer is supposed to be the fasted around – with its 12x speed capacities leaving the older 8x versions far behind.
With this new release, Pioneer has leaped forward in the market of computer hardware, and has also made a landmark contribution to computer technology in general. Steve Cohn at the Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. (he is the director of the Optical Sales Dept.) has this to say:
“The BDR-205 drive represents our ongoing efforts to combine Pioneer’s engineering expertise with advanced technologies, and our next generation Blu-ray Disc writer is a great example of our no-compromise approach to optical disc product development. We are bringing to market the fastest Blu-ray Disc writer to date, and it is just one of the many ’firsts’ that have come to define Pioneer’s 30-year heritage in optical disc innovation and leadership.”
Technical specifications for the BDR-205 12x Blu-ray Burner include:
- Up to 12x writing speed on BD-R & BD-R DL media
- Write up to 50Gbytes on one BD-R DL disc (equal to 10 single layer DVDs)
- Serial ATA (SATA) Interface
Short, sweet and packs a power punch with the “50GB write limit” criteria! In fact, with the BDR-205, Pioneer has unleashed a new high in terms of our limits of storing and writing on portable discs. Considering that HD movies and games need a huge amount of information to look and sound good, this piece of engineering will make HD-movies more common than ever before. Moreover, the BDR-205 is equipped with a low vibration mechanism (LVM) – a design that is primed to maintain a high write accuracy so that people who need to write huge amounts of sensitive and critical data on Blu-ray discs can rely on the BDR-205 not to let them down.
And it’s not just the movies, the BDR -205 will be useful to anyone who needs a heavy-duty portable disc, and needs to write data on it – fast. This writer drive will be soon be the norm on all desktops in institutions and corporates first, and will then slowly work its way to home PCs within a few years.
HD movies consist of a lot of data; with any new feature film, there are going to be tens of gigabytes of video, sound, and system information. If you’re a computer builder, or if you are planning on purchasing the drive yourself, keep in mind that you could really use a spacious hard drive to compliment the BDR-205 burner. Although 12x is an amazing speed for reading and writing Blu-ray disks, the drive is also able to process DVD’s at a speed of 16x and a solid 40x when processing media CDs.
Pioneer stayed true to its name with the new BDR-205 model; it’s the first and the fastest Blu-ray drive of its kind. The future is here – right now – with the BDR-205. It is the most silent of all drives around – something that is surprising, as you would wonder if it’s really writing 50GB worth of data so fast and so quietly. Moreover, note that this drive not only has the fastest write speeds, it also reads just as fast – ranging from a 40x reading speed for a CD to a 8x read speed for a Blu-ray disc. Overall, this drive is a must have for those who want to be at the cutting edge of technology, as well as those who need to work with obscene data sizes.
Pioneer is sure to bring on other new innovations similar to this new unit. The BDR-205 will lead the way for other new “super” drives like it, that will revolutionize technology right before our eyes.
