Reading: Most common types of printers

Inkjet printer

The most popular printer for home


computer users that prints by spraying
streams of quick-drying ink on paper.
The ink is stored in disposable
ink cartridges, often a separate
cartridge is used for each of the major
colors. These colors are usually Black,
Red/Magenta, Green/Cyan, and Yellow (CMYK). The picture is
an example of a computer inkjet printer.
Although inkjet printers themselves are often relatively
inexpensive, the ink cartridges used in the printers can
increase the overall cost of the printer.

Laser printer

First developed at Xerox


PARC by Gary Starkweather and
released in 1971, a laser printer is a
printer that utilizes laser technology
to print images on the paper. Laser
printers are often used in corporate,
school, and other environments that
require print jobs to be completed
quickly and in large quantities. In the
picture is a Lexmark C782n laser printer and a good example
of a laser printer. As can be seen much larger than an ink jet
printer found in most homes

Dot matrix

the process of using dots to form
an image. In a dot matrix image,
the image quality is determined
by the number of dots per inch.
2. Alternatively referred to as
a pin printer, Dot matrix
printers were first introduced
by Centronicsin 1970. Dot
matrix printers use print heads to shoot ink or strike an ink
ribbon to place hundreds to thousands of little dots to form
text and images. Today, Dot matrix printers are rarely used
or found because of the low quality print compared to ink jet
printers and laser printers.
