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.
