Digital printers are useful for a wide variety of tasks, including printing web pages, brochures to advertise your home business, creating custom greeting cards for friends and family, and sharing your digital camera photographs with others. You can find the best printer for all of your printing needs at Abt Electronics.

Types

Ink Jet Printer

Inkjets use droplets of ink to form letters, graphics, and photos. Some have one cartridge that holds the cyan (greenish-blue), magenta, and yellow inks, plus a second one for black. Others have a separate cartridge for each color. For photos, many inkjets have additional cartridges that contain lighter cyan and magenta inks, or gray ink, which can give a smoother look in light areas of a photo.

Most inkjet printers output black-and-white text at 3 to 13 pages per minute but are typically slower with color photos and documents. Ink jet printers have ink cartridges that can be refilled as they go out. Newer ink jet printers come with more inj jet cartridges that will allow you to fill them individually as they run out. This allows you to conserve ink and never throw away ink that hasn't been used.

Laser Printer

These work much like plain-paper copiers, forming images by transferring toner (powdered ink) to paper passing over an electrically charged drum. The process yields sharp black-and-white text. Laser printers usually outrun inkjets, cranking out black-and-white text at a rate of 12 to 20 ppm. Black-and-white lasers generally cost about as much as mid-priced inkjets, but they're less expensive to operate. These printers are known for their quick-output and are typically found in office spaces that require multiple computers to be connected.

All-in-one Printers

You can also get printers with scanning, copying, and sometimes fax capability. Many all-in-ones cost no more and take up little more space than a plain printer. What's more, all-in-ones are actually getting less expensive and more versatile, making it one of the best printers on the market. Whether you choose an inkjet or a laser all-in-one, look for one with a flatbed design, so you can copy books, photos, and other items you can't, or don't want to, put through the slot on a sheet-fed model.

Paper Print Options

We offer our paper prints in two options: non-framed and framed. Our non-framed paper prints will arrive without a frame and are to be used with an existing frame you already have or plan to purchase separately. Our framed prints will arrive framed and ready to be hung right out of the packaging. 

We offer hand-crafted wood frames in gold, black, white, natural, and espresso tones. 

All framed prints include:

  • Frame-grade, UV-blocking acrylic.
  • Acid-free, archival mats (on applicable orders).
  • Dust Cover attached to the back of the frame.
  • Hanging wire for easy installation (on applicable orders).

When choosing framed paper art, the "Choose Size (W/H)" represents both the image size and frame size when a mat is not selected. When a mat is added, the image size is reduced to accommodate the mat while the frame size stays the same. For example, a 40 x 30 size with a mat will have a frame size of 40 x 30 and an image size of 34 x 24. 

The chart below shows each frame size and the associated image size when a mat is selected as well as other relevant frame dimensions.
