    This document provides an overview of different types of printers, including dot matrix printers, inkjet printers, laser printers, snapshot printers, and other high-quality printers. It discusses how each type works, as well as considerations for evaluating printers such as image quality, speed, cost, and cost of operation. Dot matrix printers use pins to strike an ink ribbon and transfer ink to paper. Inkjet printers spray tiny droplets of ink onto paper. Laser printers use heat and toner particles to bond toner to paper. Snapshot printers are specialized for printing digital photos but can be slow and expensive to use.

    Overview of Printers - Categorizing Printers


    Printers fall into two categories: Impact printers use a device to strike an inked ribbon, pressing ink from the ribbon onto the paper. Non-impact printers use different methods to place ink (or another substance) on the page.

    Overview of Printers - Evaluating Printers


    When evaluating printers, consider four criteria:
    Image quality Measured in dots per inch (dpi). Most printers produce 300 600 dpi.

    Speed Measured in pages per minute (ppm) or characters per second (cps).
    Initial cost Consumer printers cost $250 or less, but professional printers can cost thousands of dollars. Cost of operation This refers to the cost of supplies used by the printer.

    Dot Matrix Printers How Do Dot Matrix Printers Work?


    Dot matrix printers are a common type of impact printer. A dot matrix printer's print head contains a cluster of pins. The printer can push the pins out to form patterns in rapid sequence. The pins press an inked ribbon against the paper, creating an image.

    Dot Matrix Printers - Performance


    Lower-resolution dot matrix printers use nine pins. Higher-resolution models have 24 pins. Speed is measured in characters per second (cps). Some dot matrix printers print 500 cps.

    Ink Jet Printers

    Performance

    Ink Jet Printers How Do Ink Jet Printers Work?


    Ink jet printers are an example of non-impact printers. The printer sprays tiny droplets of ink onto the paper. Ink jet printers are available for color and black-andwhite printing.

    Ink Jet Printers - Performance


    Ink jet printers offer speeds of (2 4 pages per minute ppm) and resolution (300 600 dots per inch dpi), comparable to low-end laser printers. Ink jet printers are inexpensive and have low operating costs.

    Laser Printers

    Performance

    Laser Printers How Do Laser Printers Work?


    Laser printers are non-impact printers. They use heat and pressure to bond particles of toner to paper.

    Laser printers are available for color and black-andwhite printing.

    Laser Printers - Performance


    Laser printers provide resolutions from 300 1200 dpi and higher.

    Black-and-white laser printers usually produce 4 16 ppm.


    Laser printers produce higher-quality print than ink jet printers, but are more expensive.

    Snapshot Printers
    Snapshot printers are specialized, small-format printers that print digital photographs. Snapshot printers are fairly slow, and can be more expensive to operate

    Snapshot printers are popular among digital camera users

    Other High-Quality Printers


    Print shops and publishers use these printers to create high-quality color images: Thermal-wax Dye-sublimation Fiery IRIS Plotters

    Plotters use mechanical, ink jet, or thermal technology to create large-format images for architectural or engineering uses.

    lesson 6 Review
    List the three most commonly used types of printers. List the four criteria you should consider when evaluating printers. Describe how a dot matrix printer creates an image on a page. Explain the process by which a laser printer operates. List five types of high-quality printing devices commonly used in business.
