Chain printers, also known as line printers, use a series of interconnected characters or symbols on a rotating chain to produce text and images on paper. While primarily designed for high-speed text printing, they can produce simple graphics by using different characters to represent various shades or patterns. However, the quality of images is limited compared to modern inkjet or laser printers, making them less suitable for detailed or high-resolution imagery. Today, chain printers are mostly used in specialized applications where speed and durability are prioritized over image quality.
I'm not sure that impact printers could reasonably be described as "commonly used" today; nearly all printers still in use are either ink-jet or some form of xerographic process (i.e. "laser printers"). To the extent they are... dot-matrix and daisy wheel are probably the two I'd pick; computer centers probably still use line printers, but those are basically just a different kind of dot-matrix printer. Another possibility is the chain printer, which had a rapidly moving chain of typefaces behind an ink ribbon and in front of rapidly firing hammers.
RFID printers are used to print documents consisting of black and white ink. These printers are not common in households but can be used if one wants to.
The old laser printers used He-Ne laser , and the modern laser printers use infrared laser .
Dot matrix printers
Dot Matrix printers are the most common impact printers used with personal computers. Daisy Wheel printers are sometimes used as well.
The best places to buy laser printers are your local electronics store or a big chain store like Futureshop, Walmart, The Source, Radioshack, or Target.
