3. 1.Inkjet printers
The basic principle
of inkjet printer is
the electrostatic
phenomenon i.e. it
uses electric charge
in its operation.
Inkjet printing is a
type of computer
printing that creates
a digital image by
propelling droplets
of ink onto paper
5. (2) Print head stepper
motor:
A stepper motor moves
the print head assembly
back and forth across the
paper.
(1)Print head –It is the core
of an inkjet printer, the
print head contains a series
of nozzles that are used to
spray drops of ink
8. (4)Stabilizer bar:
The movement of print
head is controlled and
made precise by a
stabilizer bar.
(5) Belt:
A belt is used to attach
print head assembly to
the stepper motor.
9. (6) Paper tray/feeder:
It enables the user to load
the paper into the printer.
(7) Rollers:
Control the movement of
the paper.
(8) Control circuitry:
control all the mechanical
aspects of the operation as
well as decode the
information sent to the
printer from the computer.
15. 1) Low cost
2) High quality of output, capable of printing
fine and smooth details
3) Capable of printing in vivid color, good for
printing pictures
4) Easy to use
5) Reasonably fast
6) Quieter than dot matrix printer
7) No warm up time
16. 1) Print head is less durable.
2) Expensive replacement ink cartridges
3) Not good for high volume printing
4) Printing speed is not as fast as laser printers
6) Aqueous ink is sensitive to water
7) Cannot use highlighter marker on inkjet
printouts
