NON-IMPACT PRINTER Without striking the paper Inkjet printer,laser printer, thermal printer, plotters Fast High quality Letter-qualityprintouts Most commonly usedprinter today ink spray or toner powder More expensive Quieter Can handle graphics and often a wider variety of fonts strong clear color
Advantages and Disadvantages of Impact Printer Advantages Lower cost per page printing Cost less to purchase Do not require special paper to print on Disadvantages Noisy print slowly Ink ribbon has a short lifespan Low print quality
Advantages and Disadvantages of Non-Impact Printer Advantages printer cartridges and drums are recyclable print high volumes in short duration produce high quality image works fast and quietly Disadvantages cost more to purchase a laser printer occupies a lot of space and emits dust particles
