Does a photo printer use ribbon to print?
Yes, some photo printers, particularly dye-sublimation printers, use a ribbon to print images. In this process, the printer heats the ribbon to transfer dye onto the photo paper, resulting in high-quality prints with vibrant colors. However, other types of photo printers, like inkjet printers, use cartridges of liquid ink instead of ribbons.

What prints by striking a unked ribbon against the paper?
Since you put this in the Computer Printers category, i will answer it that way. The type of printer that prints by striking a print head (the letters) on an inked ribbon is a daisy wheelprinter. You rarely see these anymore.
Why daisy wheel printers are not used today?
Probably because people wanted more flexibility from their printers. Daisy-wheel printers are limited to the character set on the wheel. If you want a different font, you need to physically change the wheel for a different one. Dot matrix printers cured that by using tiny pins striking through an ink ribbon. However - their downfall was that they could only print in one colour (again unless you changed the ribbon). Inkjet printers have multi-colour cartridges - enabling them to combine red, yellow, blue and black ink into millions of different colours.
Which printers don't use a ribbon?
Laser printers and ink-jet printers don't use a ribbon.
List an example of impact printer?
Impact printers are dot-matrix printers like the Okidats Microline series. they use a print-head that has anywhere from 9 to 24 small pins that are forced out of the head and onto an ink impregnated ribbon which hits the paper and makes the impression of the character... just like a typewriter. Inkjet printers are not impact printers :P
Where might one go to find reviews for ribbon printers?
Revies for a range of ribbon printers can be found on: YouTube, Amazon, TrueLocal, eBay, Finda, Dhgate, Aliexpress, Technology Review and Elite Ribbon Printers.
What i the difference between an impact and nonimpact printers?
Impact printers use a 'daisy wheel' or a 'golf ball' to physically press letters through an ink ribbon onto the paper - think along the lines of an old typewriter. Non-impact printers 'squirt' microscopic drops of liquid ink directly onto the paper.
