Dot Matrix Printer
A dot-matrix printer is named after the pattern (a grid or ‘matrix’) of dots used when creating the paper printout.
|
Dot-matrix print quality is poor, the printers are noisy, and there are much better printing systems available today.
|
InkJet Printer
Cheap, high-quality, full-colour printing became available during the 1980s due to the development of ink-jet printers.
|
Ink-jet printers are very quiet in use. Since they have so few moving parts they are also cheap to manufacture and thus cheap to purchase. However, the ink is very expensive to buy (this is how the printer companies make their profits!) so the printers are expensive to use.
Laser Printer
Laser printers are very complex devices, and thus expensive to buy. However they are very cheap to use. This is because they produce marks on paper using a fine dust called toner which is relatively cheap to buy. A single toner cartridge will often last for 5,000-10,000 pages of printing.
|
Plotter
Plotters create hard-copy in a very different way to printers. Instead of building up text and images from tiny dots, plotters draw on the paper using a pen.
