the difference between laser and LED resin printers

The difference between laser and LED resin printers is mainly in the type of light source they use to cure the resin. Laser printers use a single laser beam that scans across the resin layer by moving a mirror¹². LED printers use an array of LEDs that flash the entire layer at once¹².

Some advantages of LED printers over laser printers are:

• They are faster because they don’t need to move a mirror¹³.
• They are cheaper because they have fewer moving parts⁴³.
• They are more reliable because they have less mechanical wear and tear⁴³.

Some advantages of laser printers over LED printers are:

• They have higher print resolution because they can focus the light more precisely¹².
• They have higher durability because they use toners instead of liquid ink⁴.
• They have larger printer bodies that can accommodate bigger print volumes¹.
