Printer Type Printer Type specifies the printing technology. Inkjet printers use ink cartridges which output droplets of ink onto paper through the printhead nozzles. Laser printers use a laser beam to create an image onto a drum, which then transfers the image onto paper through powder toner cartridges. Dot Matrix printers use printheads made of pins which press ink-soaked ribbon onto paper to create images. Zero Ink printers utilize heat technology, not requiring an ink cartridge, toner or ribbon. | Dot Matrix |
