There are 5 main kinds of printers, so, to answer this question, we will have to look in depth at each of the five main kinds of printers.

First of all there is the mundane inkjet printer, which home users usually have because of the top image quality provided. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the make and the manufcaturer, among other variables. Inside, however, all of them have a small box at the right end, a few attached wires linking to the left end and some heads marginally above a absorbant sponge. The ink cartidges are placed into the box, and the wires tell when the box should slide along the pivotal horizontal axis. The heads are painting the ink onto the paper at the appropriate time, as well as sliding the paper through the machine, and as for the sponge, it soaks up any waste ink left over.

Secondly are the somewhat larger laser printers. The insides of these office-based printers are far to complicated to go into depth about, but the basics are fairly simple to understand. A long cartidge, also known as a toner, is told when to release ink onto paper by lasers. Whereever the laser is pointed, the ink will fall there. The specified colors are controlled by the printer's internal chips, while the paper is pushed through in the same way by the heads, but inlaser printers, the heads have nothing to do with laying the actual ink down itself.

All printers have a specific kind of ink that they use.
