What's the difference between a thermal paper fax machine and an ordinary fax machine? Which is better? Do they need ink? What are consumables? Could you please give me a more detailed answer?

There are three kinds of fax machines, one is the thermal paper fax machine you mentioned, which is the most commonly used and old-fashioned fax machine. The advantage of this machine is that it is cheap to consume. Consumption is thermal paper, one roll is about 10 yuan. If there are not many faxes, one roll can be used for half a month. The disadvantage is that the fax effect is not good, and sometimes it is blurred. This machine is the cheapest. )

And inkjet fax. The principle of this fax is that after the fax machine receives the fax, it will print the fax page like a printer. This effect is good, but this kind of consumption is very expensive. An ink cartridge is about 200~300. A box of ink can last about a month. (The price of this machine is moderate)

Another is that the laser fax machine is similar to inkjet, but the difference is that it is laser printed and better than inkjet. But consumption is also the most expensive. Its consumption is selenium (this machine is also the most expensive).

If you don't want the effect, choose a thermal paper fax machine.
