A type of printer that works by spraying ionized ink at a sheet of paper. Magnetized plates in the ink's path direct the ink onto the paper in the desired shapes. Ink-jet printers are capable of producing high quality print approaching that produced by laser printers. A typical ink-jet printer provides aresolution of 300 dots per inch, although some newer models offer higher resolutions.
In general, the price of ink-jet printers is lower than that of laser printers. However, they are also considerably slower. Another drawback of ink-jet printers is that they require a special type of ink that is apt to smudge on inexpensive copier paper.
Because ink-jet printers require smaller mechanical parts than laser printers, they are especially popular as portable printers. In addition, color ink-jet printers provide an inexpensive way to print full-color documents.
Although laser printers have historically been superior to inkjets, newer inkjet printers have been show to have several advantages. In recent studies, newer inkjet printers have proven themselves to be cheap and quieter than most modern laser printers.
They can make carbon copies and they are somewhat cheaper to operate because they generally use inked ribbons instead of expensive ink cartridges.
Advantages- 1.they are not noisy
carbon-copy printing ability and inexpensive consumables

Dot matrix.
printers are classify into 2 impact and non impact
laser, inkjet and dot matrix.
Yes.
Impact printers tend to be noisy while non-impact printers are much quieter. Impact printers use either small pins or characters to strike an ink ribbon and imprint an image onto paper. Non-impact printers use some type of ink that is applied to the paper without touching it. Both laser and ink jet printers are non-impact printers.
Inkjet and laser printers are non-impact printers, as they don't actually makes contact with the paper. Unlike the dot-matrix and daisy wheel, impact, printers. These actually make contact with the paper.
they are non impact printers
Non-impact printer does not generate noise during printing because it prints images and text without striking the papers. While impact printer generates noise because it prints by striking print hammer or wheel against an inked ribbon. Non-impact printer's speed is faster and quality is higher than impact printer.
