Compact photo printer HP Sprocket debuted on the Russian market

Types of printers

In terms of design and operating principle, there are three types of printers:

• A dot matrix printer is an older type of printer. About 20-25 years ago this was the main type of printer, but now they are used in cash registers for printing receipts.
• An inkjet printer works similarly to a dot matrix printer, but instead of needles it has a matrix with holes through which ink is sprayed pointwise. Ink is supplied in special modules - cartridges, which must be purchased separately.
• A laser printer uses an electromagnetic charge for printing, which is created using a laser beam on a special part - the photodrum.
