Type of Impact Printer
Dot-matrix
•printers:
A series of tiny pins arranged in a print head
• 9-Pin or 24-Pin
• Movement and Paper Feeding
• A matrix of pins to strike an ink ribbon
• As the paper moves and the pins create
patterns .
Daisy-wheel Printers:
• Wheel rotates to position the required
character.
• A hammer hits the character, pressing
it through the ink ribbon onto the
paper.
• This process is repeated for each
character.
Type of Non Impact Printer
Laser printers:
• A Laser Beam to create an image on a drum
• Drum(Photosensitive material)
• Torner
• Heat
Inkjet printers:
• Tiny nozzles to spray ink onto the paper
• Nozzle(Ionized Ink)
• Dots that form characters and images.
• CMYK Color
What is Plotters?
Definition: Plotters are used to print out high-quality
graphics, designs, and other types of paper-based
documents, such as Engineering drawings, Circuit designs,
Business charts, Construction maps, and Architectural
blueprints.
Types:
• Drum Plotter
• Flatbed Plotter
Do you Know ?
Vector Graphic:
• Made by many Mathematical object such as point, line, curved shape etc.
• Continous line
• Pixel free
Measuring Unit:
Typically measured in
• Millimeters per Minute (MPM)
• Inches per Minute (IPM)
Type of Plotter
Drum Plotter:
• Paper loading
• Use a cylindrical drum mechanism to
move the paper back and forth
• Printhead movement
• Image creation
Flatbed Plotter:
• Paper Placement
• Printhead Movement
• Move Precision
• Image Creation
• Drying or Curing
Future Trends and Innovations
3D Printer:
• Creates three-dimensional objects
• Print Bed where object is built
• Printer Head heat Plastic
• Filament often plastic (PLA, ABS)
• Control the movement in X, Y, and Z axes
Electrostatic Plotter :
• high-speed printer that uses electrostatic
charges
