A printer is a device that accepts text and graphic output from a computer and transfers the information to paper, usually to standard size sheets of paper. Printers vary in size, speed, sophistication, and cost. In general, more expensive printers are used for higher-resolution color printing.
Common Types of 2D Printers
2D printers are by far the most common type of printer. This category can be subdivided based on the type of technology used to transfer images onto paper. Modern printers generally fall into one of the following categories:
inkjet: Sprays ink at a sheet of paper. Ink-jet printers produce high-quality text and graphics.
laser: Uses the same technology as copy machines. Laser printers produce very high quality text and graphics.
LED: Similar to a laser printer but uses light-emitting diodes rather than a laser to produce an image on the drum.
thermal printer: Works by pushing heated pins against heat-sensitive paper. Thermal printers are widely used in calculators, ATMs and cash registers.
dye-sublimation: Uses heat to transfer dye to paper, fabric, plastic cards or other media. These printers are often used to print photos or ID cards.
