Type of Printer

Impact PrintersAn impact printer makes contact with the paper. It usually forms the print image by pressing an inked ribbon against the paper using a hammer or pins. Following are some examples of impact printers:

Dot-Matrix PrintersDaisy-wheel printers

Type of Printer

Impact PrintersDaisy Wheel Printer Dot-Matrix Printer

Type of Printer

Daisy Wheelproduces letter quality printcannot produce graphics outputA hammer strikes a “petal” containing a character against the ribbon

Dot Matrix Printer

These printer use print heads containing from 9 to 24 pins

The user can produce a color output with a dot-matrix printer

Cheapest and most noisy

Type of Printer

Non-Impact Printers

Non-impact printers do not use a striking device to produce characters on the paper

Type of Printer

Following are some examples of non-impact printers:

Ink-Jet Printer

Laser Printer

Thermal Printer Plotter

Type of Printer

Ink-Jet Printer

print in the form image or characters with little dots as dot-matrix printers

spraying ionized ink

Comparison Between Impact Printer and Non-Impact Printer

Type IMPACT PRINTER NON-IMPACT PRINTER

Descriptions contacting the paper Without striking the paper

Types Dot-matrix printer and daisy wheel printer Inkjet printer, laser printer, thermal printer, plotters

Speed Slow Fast

Quality low quality High quality

Letter quality near letter quality (NLQ) Letter-quality printouts

Consumption Not commonly used today Most commonly used printer today

Tools ink ribbon ink spray or toner powder

Cost Less expensive More expensive

Sound effects noisy Quieter

Image clarity Poor graphics or none at all Can handle graphics and often a wider variety of fonts

Color output Limited color printing strong clear color

Advantages and Disadvantages of Impact Printer

AdvantagesLower cost per page printingCost less to purchaseDo not require special paper to print on

DisadvantagesNoisyprint slowlyInk ribbon has a short lifespanLow print quality

Advantages and Disadvantages of Non-Impact Printer

Advantagesprinter cartridges and drums are recyclableprint high volumes in short durationproduce high quality imageworks fast and quietly

Disadvantagescost more to purchasea laser printer occupies a lot of space and

emits dust particles

Conclusion

A printer is an electromechanical device which converts the text and

graphical documents from electronic form to the physical form.

categorized as impact and non impact printers.

Impact printers are the type of printers in which a key strikes the paper

to make a letter. Examples :Daisy Wheel Printer and Dot Matrix Printer.

Non-impact printers do not operate by striking a head against a ribbon.

Example : Inkjet printers and laser printers

The example of others printer are portable printers, digital photo

printers, multifunction printers and 3D printers.
