Well designed leaflets or business cards can attract many customers, and badly made to scare away and discourage our brand, company or product. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to the quality of these materials, also in terms of technology of doing these things in the printing house.
Solid ink printers - Wikipedia
Solid ink printers, also known as phase-change printers, are a type of thermal transfer printer. They use solid sticks of CMYK-coloured ink, similar in consistency to candle wax, which are melted and fed into a piezo crystal operated print-head. The printhead sprays the ink on a rotating, oil coated drum. The paper then passes over the print drum, at which time the image is immediately transferred, or transfixed, to the page. Solid ink printers are most commonly used as colour office printers, and are excellent at printing on transparencies and other non-porous media. Solid ink printers can produce excellent results. Acquisition and operating costs are similar to laser printers. Drawbacks of the technology include high energy consumption and long warm-up times from a cold state. Also, some users complain that the resulting prints are difficult to write on, as the wax tends to repel inks from pens, and are difficult to feed through automatic document feeders, but these traits have been significantly reduced in later models. In addition, this type of printer is only available from one manufacturer, Xerox, manufactured as part of their Xerox Phaser office printer line. Previously, solid ink printers were manufactured by Tektronix, but Tek sold the printing business to Xerox in 2001.

Printing- Internet and online
Internet printers grow like mushrooms after rain - no wonder, because the vision of sending files by the site, which will itself inform us whether everything is okay in technical matters (formats, colors, size, etc.).
However, not all printers have the option of ordering directly through their website, and this error and the background of competitors fall short, badly. However, the price you have to pay for the possibility of online orders can be deterred by smaller printing houses and printing plants from such an investment.
