How do I tell if my printer is laser or inkjet? -

hey, I have a canyon printer and I was wondering about making some t-shirt transfers, but I need an inkjet printer, how do I tell if my printer is laser or inkjet? thanks guys! Leah

canyon or u mean canon??? well check their website for starts or see ur user manual.

Well, laser colored printers usually have the long ink refill as compared to deskjet, which have a square cube-like refill. If you do have an inkjet, make sure you select mirror print so that the print comes out inverted. Otherwise, the print on the T-shirt will be reversed LOL. PUt a sheet of paper over the transfer to ensure proper transfer of ink on the fabric. Takes a few seconds longer, but the ink will seep in the fabric and will withstand numerous washing.

If you don t know the difference between an ink cartridge and toner, then here are some very big differences. How soon can it print when you first turn it on? If you can print right away, it s inkjet. If it takes a few minutes to warm up, it s laser. How fast does it print? If you the paper come out slowly as it prints out each line, it s inkjet. If it whole printed page comes out all at once, it s laser. What is the print quality like when it first comes out? If you have to be careful of letting it dry first or it smears, it s inkjet. It it comes out sharp and warm, it s laser. How noisy is the printer, not while it s printing, but the printer itself? If it s quiet and you only hear it when it prints, it s inkjet. If it s noisy like a low hum all the time even when it s not printing, it s laser.

there is a product number of the printer. type it in yahoo.com and you will know what type of printer it is. Again the inkjet has a small ink cartridge which the laser has the big one. Good Luck in finding. Take Care.

Do you buy ink or toner? If you buy ink, it s inkjet. If you buy toner, it s laser.

I would be able to tell you if you told me what the model number of the printer is.
