Just a couple of decades ago, no one could have thought that office devices such as printers would become part of almost any home computer over time. The advent of inkjet printing at an incredibly low cost has seriously shaken the position of "veterans" - dot matrix printers.
And other modifications have fallen in price. As a result, there was a situation when a printer is purchased when buying a personal computer or laptop. This is where the first difficulty arises, since the future owner does not know what printers are. After all, the price is just one of many characteristics, and not always the most important. Of course, you can ask a consultant in the store, but in order for him to tell you what types of printers exist, you need time, which, for obvious reasons, he does not have. In such a situation, a person chooses one of two extremes - he buys the cheapest or most expensive model (for which there is enough money). That is why on the pages of online auctions at bargain pricesvarious types of printers with burnt out nozzles and damaged printheads are sold. Also often near the home computer you can see an expensive model of a printing device, most of the functions of which the user is simply not used.Thus, you can make the best choice only if you know what types of printers exist. In fact, there are few of them, and remembering a huge list is not required.
Next, we list the main types of printers. All of them can be divided into several groups: matrix devices, inkjet, laser. Sometimes they mention another group, which includes a sublimation printer. These models use thermal printing technology when a solid-state dye is fixed in the structure of the material by heating.

Laser technology has unsurpassed printing speed, high resistance of prints to moisture, a significant cartridge resource. In such printers, special ink powder is fixed on paper by temperature exposure. Preliminary character formation is carried out by a laser beam.
