Printing & Scanning

What are the types of printer available?

  • Dot Matrix Printers: they're also called impact matrix printer, and as the name suggest they operate using mechanical pressure to strike up and down the pins on an ink ribbon. Their output is a series of dots closely space together, which allow more flexibility in creating the characters. While the design and mechanism might look out of fashion nowadays, dot matrix printers allow multiple copies to be printed thanks to the use of carbon paper, as well as minimal cost for their functioning.
  • Inkjet Printers: probably the most used nowadays, they are cost effective and provide high speed in printing digital images onto paper, plastic and other supports. The output from an inkjet printer is similar to the one produced by dot matrix printers, but the dots are so close together that no space between them is detectable, so they are perceived as a standard image. Inkjet printers can come with integrated WiFi connectivity to allow prints from smart devices.
  • Laser Printers: laser printers are the first choice when it comes to image quality. Their functioning is based on the power of static electricity: after a laser beam has scanned the data across a drum inside the printer, it build up a pattern of static electricity which attracts the particle of powdered ink (the toner) onto the page. The actual printed output is then obtained thanks to a fuser unit which sticks the toner to the paper.
  • Portable Printers: they're also known as mobile printers, and they represent the best option when you need the functionalities of a printer on the go. They can fit into a backpack and they typically use inkless printing technology, meaning that their maintenance is limited to refilling photo paper.
