Because they are reasonably cheap to buy nowadays. Most makers rely more on the long term sale of consumables, such as ink cartridges, etc, so price their printers fairly low.

Q20 What are the two types of printers and give examples of each?

The two main types of printers are impact printers and non-impact printers. Impact printers work by physically striking an ink ribbon against paper to form characters. They are older and noisier, but still used in places where multi-part copies are needed, like invoices or receipts. A common example is a dot matrix printer, which prints using a grid of pins to create characters and images. Non-impact printers do not strike the paper. Instead, they use technologies like ink spray, laser heat, or thermal transfer to create images and text quietly and with higher quality. Examples include inkjet printers, which spray liquid ink onto paper, and laser printers, which use toner and a laser beam for fast, sharp printing—commonly used in homes and offices.


Are ink-jet printers nonimpact printers?

Yes, inkjet printers are classified as non-impact printers. This means they don’t physically strike the paper to produce text or images. Instead, they use tiny nozzles to spray ink directly onto the paper in a precise and controlled manner. This method allows for quieter operation and high-quality prints, especially when it comes to color images, photos, and detailed graphics. Inkjet printers are widely used in homes and offices because of their ability to deliver professional results without the noise or mechanical complexity of traditional impact printers like dot matrix models.

Printing :) Inkjet printers use ink to make a hard copy of what you send to the printer electronically. Laser printers use something called toner.

Why ink jet is the most important printer in home user?

Inkjet printers are fairly cheap, though the ink cartridges can prove expensive, depending on heavy or light usage, of course. Inkjet printers are usually easy to maintain and clean. The main problem, especially if the printer isn't used very often, is drying ink blocking the print-head, etc. Personally, I prefer my mono laser printer, but then I don't want to do colour printing anyway.
