HP C6431AR Features

Inkjet printing technology delivers smooth colour and broad media support. It belongs to the HP DeskJet family. Business inkjet printers can match laser speeds with lower energy use. Inkjet technology handles a wide range of media, including glossy photo paper, card and envelopes. Network printing lets many users share one device. Print speed is measured in pages per minute or millimetres per second. Printer drivers translate documents into printer commands.

Inkjet Quality and Value

Pigment inks resist smudging and fading, while dye inks give vivid colours on photo paper. Inkjet printers use less power than laser printers because there is no fuser to heat. Refillable ink tank models dramatically lower the cost per page compared with cartridge printers. Pages per minute (ppm) measures printing speed for standard documents. Regular use keeps inkjet nozzles clear and avoids print quality problems. Mobile printing apps let users print from phones and tablets.
