What connection to use – USB or WIFI?

Ink Experts recommend using a USB lead connection over WIFI / Wireless connection wherever possible. A high speed USB lead is provided with all Ink Experts sublimation printer bundles.

Our range includes printer that can use WIFI or USB and it is the clients choice as to which connection type they use.

Ink Experts recommend USB lead connection for the following reasons-

• Stability – USB offers a much more stable connection compared to WIFI or Wireless connections. WIFI signals can drop (even with the best of internet providers) and this can cause print jobs to stop or cancel during a print run.
• Speed – USB offers improved data transfer and print speed over WIFI or Wireless connections. Data packets can stall or slow in transfer especially with large document sizes. This can lead to slower print speeds.
• ICC & Colour Management – we have noted on some models and operating system combinations that the WIFI or Wireless driver can ignore or misuse the ICC profile or colour management settings being applied to the printer.
