Fact #1. Before inkjet printers, dot matrix printers were used as the standard method for printing. By the 1960s, printer companies were working toward developing efficient inkjet printing that would be both high-quality and cost-efficient. IBM began to develop continuous inkjet printing. It's very fast, but can be expensive.
Fact #2. In 1977, Siemens invented drop-on-demand inkjet printing that used thermal technology rather than electricity. The printers developed by Epson produce the same result. However, they used piezoelectric technology. Canon and Hewlett Packard worked tirelessly to create a controlled flow of ink in both types of printers to avoid clogging and dried, splotchy ink on the paper. By the late 1980s, the printers were put on the market for offices and average consumers to purchase.
Fact #3. Continuous inkjet is not generally used by the average consumer. They are highly popular in fast-paced industrial settings. Drop-on-demand printers are the most common type of printer found in homes and the average office. Because the technology has been so well-developed, many printers can now be purchased for under 100 dollars at a local department or office supply store.
Fact #4. There a number of advantages to opting for an inkjet printer over the old-fashioned dot matrix or daisywheel printers. Primarily, they print in greater detail with a higher, more accurate resolution. They also print photographs with ease. Inkjet models also don't have to warm up before being used. They can be turned on and begin printing immediately.
Fact #5. You should first consider the printer's compatibility with your computer's operating system. Many models are compatible with a wide range of operating systems. However, it's always a good idea to check the specifications and software compatibility before purchasing. You should also decide what you plan to use your printer for. Finally, consider your budget.
