Using Inkjet Media
Inkjet media is one of the three main printing methods used by most commercial printing shops. It is a cost-effective and convenient option to offset printing, lithography and digital printing. You can create professional looking promotional and business cards, banners, flyers and other printed items in an instant with inkjet printing. This is the reason why so many companies are looking towards inkjet printing as a cost-effective solution to their business needs.
Inkjet printers offer many benefits that can be used every day by most commercial printing shops. You can use them in every room of your establishment, from reception areas to the boardroom or anywhere else in your business. Commercial printers also offer a wide variety of services to help you enhance your workflow and save time and money.
Most Inkjet Media machines come equipped with the following features to maximize the functionality of your machine. Firstly, they are available with different cartridges. Each cartridge is designed to print a certain page at a time and is designed to offer a high quality finish. As mentioned above, Inkjet Media is the most popular choice for printing because it offers a quick turnaround time and uses inexpensive materials. These days, you can purchase inkjet coated papers from almost any office supply store for less than $10 US per sheet. The advantage of using these low priced papers is that they are durable, which means that you can use them over again without worrying about wear and tear.
Secondly, inkjet media is ideal for printing on a budget. Unlike traditional printing inks, inkjet media does not require expensive inks. However, when purchasing inkjet media, make sure that you purchase from a reputable company as ink that is used for printing is very sensitive to chemicals. You should avoid buying solvent inks or cheap inkjet media because this could cause damage to your printer. If you plan on using solvent inks, you should consult a professional who can advise you on the best brands to buy.
Finally, inkjet media can be used to print documents on a variety of papers, including glossy, semi-gloss and textured papers. If you want to print a document on a glossy paper, you should opt for the aqueous inkjet printers because they produce glossy prints that are more aesthetically pleasing. Aqueous inks are also more resistant to streaking and can be placed on top of many other papers without causing any damage.
Lastly, it is possible to add heat to inkjet media by using a cold laminator. To do so, place your document under the laminator for a short time. Afterwards, remove the document from the laminator and wipe off excess glue or heat on the underside of the document with a heat gun. To add heat to your ink, place the document under an oven at the recommended temperature for your type of printer. After the document has cooled, place it back onto the laminator and press the hot laminator against the document to seal the heat into the print.
