4. IMPACT PRINTERS
ADVANTAGES
• They are cheap for large scale printing
• They are useful in sectors where quantity
matters over quality
DISADVANTAGES
• They are slow
• They create noise when the pin strikes
against the paper
• They have low quality
• They use an electro-mechanical mechanism
• A component is struck against paper to print text
• They are mostly used in offices, small organizations
and factories
• Examples are dot matrix, daisy wheel and line printers
6. NON-IMPACT PRINTERS
ADVANTAGES
• They are faster
• Produce very high-quality result
• They make no noise
DISADVANTAGES
• Their ink-cartridges are very costly
• They use latest technologies; Laser, Thermal and Ink-
jet
• They are speedier than impact printers
• Their speed is measured in PPM (Pages Per Minute)
• Examples are laser, ink-jet and thermal printers
