Impact Printer
Advantages Disadvantages
• Less expensive • Noisy
• Can make multiple • Print quality lower in
copies with some types
multipart paper • Poor graphics or
none at all
• Slow
29
Impact Printer
Daisy-wheel
• Is obsolete.
• Similar to a ball-head typewriter, this type of
printer has a plastic or metal wheel on which
the shape of each character stands out in
relief.
• A hammer presses the wheel against a ribbon,
which in turn makes an ink stain in the shape
of the character on the paper.

Band Printers
• Features a rotating band embossed with
alphanumeric characters.
• Rotates the band to the desired characters,
then a small hammer taps the band, pressing
the character against a ribbon
• Very fast
• Good quality printer can print 2000 lines per
minute

Thermal-wax
47
Dye-sublimation
– Used by desktop publishers and graphic artists.
– Gives realistic quality and color for photo
images.
– Creates extremely sharp images.
– Slow and costly.
– Needs special paper.
– A ribbon containing panels of color is moved
across a focused heat source capable of subtle
temperature variations.
– The heated dyes evaporate from the ribbon and
diffuse on specially coated paper.
48
Photo Printers
– Used by publishers and print shops.
– Easy to print hard copies of images taken on
a digital camera.
– Work slowly.
– Can print multiple images on a single sheet.
– Takes several minutes for a printout to dry.
– Do not need a computer (remove the memory
card from the camera and plug it into the
printer).
– Many printers use inkjet technology, a few
use dye-sublimation technology.
49
IRIS
– Used by print shops
– Produces high-resolution presentation
graphics
– Form of inkjet printing in which individual
sheets of paper are mounted onto a drum
– The nozzles on the ink jet printing head pass
from one end of the spinning drum to the
other, spraying tiny drops of colored ink to
form image.
– Can produce an image with the resolution of
1,800 dpi.
