This video has the best illustration. Before watching this video, i was sorta confused about structure and the functions of all the rollers. Now i have a clear understanding
I was wondering how printers work, so I stumbled on this video. Amazing! Thank you very much for creating this masterpiece and clearing up a hole in my knowledge about printers! I will never forget this! Keep up the good work!!
« Cyan (not cyon) is blue, magenta is red and yellow is yellow »… No ! Cyan is cyan, magenta is magenta ! Unless you agree that green is blue (or maybe yellow…) or gray is black ? That said well done video.
I have been a copier technician since 1989. Except between 1993 to 2000 when I managed an ebGames. I have always enjoyed repairing copiers and printers. Serviced 4 copiers yesterday. Guess I've got another 15 years before my knees give out.
That was THE BEST explanation of how a Priner works that no words can describe as good as it can be and has been shown through this Animation. 👏👏👏🤗👍👍👍❤
I used to use an Epson ET-2550 th-cam.com/users/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 , an early model of the ink tank style. It worked well, but had one nuisance that drove me up the wall; if you didn't put it in high quality print mode you'd get a streak across the page. I'm happy to say I have yet to see this with this printer. The print quality has been fantastic so far, the set up was super easy. All in all I'm very happy with this printer.
The transfer rollers are inside the belt unit and then the image is transferred on the paper by a secondary transfer roller, usually on the side of the machine. The "paper path" is shorter.
This is very similar to how traditional printing presses work. Epson has a full color label printer that uses a pours ink through single slot which spans the width of the entire print area. No more dashing back and forth to lay down thin bars of ink. I believe they use their DuraBrite pigmented inks. Too bad this superior design isn't used on all inkjet printers. It would let the compete with the speed and quality of laser printers.
Yeah but you would need a massive print head. The size of an A4 sheet. The label printer you are talking about has a fixed head and can only do small labels. They do another wider inkjet label printer but the head has to move back and forwards
9 inch wide print head isn't what I would call "massive". Laser printers can deposit material to the width of an entire letter so why not do it with inkjets? Bi-directional printing is faster than single pass printing. But not by much. I've had printers that worked both ways.
@@SlowPCGaming1 I mean it's pretty big. No way they could be competitive with current prices but get what you are saying. You should look into the Workforce Enterprise units that they do. Those actually have a large print head but obviously those don't come cheap
Epson has an opportunity to blaze forward by making a new printhead design. Making it standard on all their machines with a single page width printer. Few moving parts to break, cheaper construction, cheaper repairs, and so forth. I have no real interest in inkjets for one key reason: clogged nozzles and cleaning cycles that use your own ink to purge blockages or cat hair off a page.
@@SlowPCGaming1 Just to let you know, the printhead that you are referring to on the label printer is an inkjet. It is just that it is fixed in place. It still sprays ink onto the media and gets blocked from time to time
It wasn't just one mind, there were ground breaking inventions from many people in many fields before the first commercial printing machine was released.
4:40 The print head and paper do not both move at the same time. Print head slides across while the paper is still. Then the paper advances by the length of the print head.
Little correction. Blue color marked in this sphere Cyan, not Cyon. And particals of pigment can be not powder only (toner), but also liquid. (for instance in HP Indigo tecknology)
Question: I was taught that the paper is being entirely negatively charged, then the laser passes on the places where ink is *not* needed, releasing said charge, then the powdered ink is sticking to the negative charged places. I did a quick search and found both your and my explanation scattered around the web. Any idea why both exist? Is it 2 technologies or one is a common misconception?
The laser discharges the drum in the areas where no toner is required, at least it did on the machines I used to work on. The paper itself is not subjected to a charge per se, it is the highly charged transfer roller that attracts the toner from the drum surface towards itself, it is just that the paper is in the way so the toner sticks to the paper on its way to the fuser.
In color laser printing, the toner is not transferred directly from the cartridge to the sheet, it is transferred to the ITB, from there already with the complete image and its colors in order, it is transferred to the sheet. ITB: intermediate transfer band.
Print drum coated in (positive static) charge Printer generates bitmap of page from the data Laser beams shone / directed at / draws on print drum Via rotating (octagonal) mirror Laser is modulated (turned on & off) Laser removes / neutralises / reverses electric charge on drum where image should be dark / black Toner is given (positive) charge Charged drum picks up toner For drum/laser mechanisms, one for each colour (cyan etc) Toner transferred (from drum) to paper / paper rolled over drum (to transfer toner) Toner is fused / bonded / melted / stuck to paper (by heated rollers / pressure) (must be clear that toner is already on paper when it is fused, not still on drum)
The toner printer works in a way I had never imagined. Really cool.
I have worked on this all my life and I have never seen a video like this! Great work! Thanks!
This is by far the best animation/explanation of printing technology I have seen so far...thanks!

the ending feels a little rushed, but the first part was pretty clear.
Yeah didn’t really get the second half and might have to watch another video to understand better
which is not clear in 2nd part?

He is just trying to simplify.
Umm... Grey is just black...
If the logic continued Yellow should have been a Green.
@@marcos0055101 you can't simplify by calling orange red
Magenta is pink for me, change my mind
very nice mechanism,
now I understand how fast color printing can be achieved!

Such animations are the best way of learning engineering stuff. Thank You, for providing it for free on youtube.
That was THE BEST explanation of how a Priner works that no words can describe as good as it can be and has been shown through this Animation. 👏👏👏🤗👍👍👍❤
It's a horrifyingly complex machine that we take for granted. So fine tuned, just for our photos.

Very interesting, clear and well animated 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Best and most comprehensive explanation yet. Thanks.
I was not expecting a robot voice video to have the exact info i was looking for.

The human mind is amaziiing. It came up with all this?🤯🤯🔥🔥

Thank god for the existence of this channel.. Brilliant
Nice video , Thanks
This is mush easier than i thought after reading my cs textbook. Thankyou so much
good
work on video
9 out of ten. I had to replay and use captions for some of it. Excellent 3D graphics.
Thank you for this... I have been wanting to know what on earth happens inside a printer for ages...
Perfect explanation💯👍👏
What a wonderful explaination, the visuals especially helped. This really helped me with my CompTIA revision! Thank you! :)
Thank you, this is the best version I found so far 😄
Little correction. Blue color marked in this sphere Cyan, not Cyon. And particals of pigment can be not powder only (toner), but also liquid. (for instance in HP Indigo tecknology)
The best on youtube so far
Great Animation!
Cyon?? tha's not a color, but a south corean enterprise.
The color is cyan
Thank you so much. Very well explained video. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Literally magic.
engineering at its finest
I have a physics presentation tomorrow and this is really helping.
Superb Clear .. Supper Understandable

Very well explained.
Thank you 🤩
Very well explained💯 thanks a lot!!!!!❤️✨🔥
AMAZING
this helps a lot for my comptia a+ exam
After seeing this video, I will never punch my printer even if prints are miserable.
That was some great animation.
Thanks for giving such a nice information ❤😊
Beautiful illustrations.
Thankyou so much best explanation about Laser printer
very informative and revealing. good job
Pattern is called a rosette when it’s registered correct. Unattractive pattern is a moiré
Great explanation ! Thanks
This video is amazing, 10/10 ❤
great work. good explanation with animation
First of all → nice video, good explanation.
Just wanted to mention that it triggers me like 💩 that they call 'black' 'key'.
Thank you we are glad to like your video for explaining about machines
Thank you for this.

i am in the exaclly same dilemma. If the powdered ink is positive charge or negative.
Nice work brother
Excellent
Really useful
Absolutely the best explanation so far.
you the best, it was easy to understand
We finally got printer lore :3
I did not go seeking this knowledge, but now I will never forget it. Thanks again almighty algorithm.
Wonderful Video! Very clear! Thank you so much!
Nice Video, Thanks for the video
Excellent Presentation.
Remember people printer companies make their money off ink, not the actual printers.
Very well explained
Nice 👍🏼
Best explanation
very good explained
Great explanation
1:08 is me explaining colors to a blind person
In color laser printing, the toner is not transferred directly from the cartridge to the sheet, it is transferred to the ITB, from there already with the complete image and its colors in order, it is transferred to the sheet.
ITB: intermediate transfer band.
Not all colour printers have a transfer belt, some transfer the coloured toner to the paper directly from the drum.
good work
Great ....concept cleared....
Grt work
explained well hats off
It was very helpful for me
Excellent educational video!
This is a great video, well done!
Nice to meet you.
Your video is very informative.
Could I use your video for educational purposes?
Well explained
Great Video!
Great video
Excellente description!
Your video was so informative, Shall I use this video to educate our people in our own language…?
This video best visualizes how a laser printer works
Amazing that this is happening in my printer so fast
As a printer technician i think this is not 100% accurate but good enough explaintion
I agree - not quite accurate, but good enough.
Great sir
Pek güzel anlatmışsın dostum. Teşekkürler.
Never understood this until I stumbled upon this video
Yo, how do you put so much effort into animations and function and not do research on CMYK? I mean Cyon? What? That's too obvious to not be ignorance.
Print drum coated in (positive static) charge
Printer generates bitmap of page from the data
Laser beams shone / directed at / draws on print drum
Via rotating (octagonal) mirror
Laser is modulated (turned on & off)
Laser removes / neutralises / reverses electric charge on drum
where image should be dark / black
Toner is given (positive) charge
Charged drum picks up toner
For drum/laser mechanisms, one for each colour (cyan etc)
Toner transferred (from drum) to paper / paper rolled over drum (to transfer toner)
Toner is fused / bonded / melted / stuck to paper (by heated rollers / pressure) (must be clear that toner is already on paper when it is fused, not still on drum)
Thanks for this video. I was looking for this kind of video.
so easily understood , thx
Understood perfectly
great sir.
