Types of printers
Ink Tank Printers
Ink tank printers have an inbuilt mechanism of supplying continuous ink, which helps lower the cost of printing. Filling up the tanks with ink is really simple too.
Laser Printer
A laser printer is a popular type of computer printer that uses a non-impact photocopier technology where there are no keys striking the paper.
All-in-one printers
An all-in-one printer is a device made up of multiple peripheral functionalities and capabilities, including printing, copying and scanning.
Dot matrix printers
A dot matrix printer is an impact printer that prints using a fixed number of pins or wires. Typically the pins or wires are arranged in one or several vertical columns. The pins strike an ink-coated ribbon.
Barcode Printer
A barcode printer is a computer peripheral for printing barcode labels or tags that can be attached to, or printed directly on, physical objects. Barcode printers are commonly used to label cartons before shipment.
Thermal Printer
Thermal printers use heat instead of ink to print labels and signage on paper, tape, ribbon, and other materials. Thermal printing is classified into two types: direct thermal and thermal transfer.
Thermal Ribbons
A thermal transfer ribbon is a thin film that is wound on a roll that has a special black coating on one side. This coating is usually made from a wax or resin formulation. During thermal transfer printing, the ribbon is run between the label and the printhead, with the coated side of the ribbon facing the label.
