A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human-readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media.
Characteristics:
- Speed: From 50ppm to 100ppm per minute.
- Colour: CMYK colour model.(This model is based on the mix of pigments of these colours: C = Cyan, M = Magenta,Y = Yellow, K = Black)
- Resolution: 72px for a bad resolution (large px) and 300 for a good resolution (small px)
Types of printers:
- Laser printer: Laser printers work through electronically charging a piece of paper with the digital images selected for printing.Laser printers are much more efficient than ink-jet printers.
- Ink-jet printer: An ink-jet printer works through spraying minute dots of ink onto paper to create an image. The dots use a combination of different colours to create photo-realistic images.
- 3D printer: A 3D printer is a type of printer that makes 3D objects. It's a type of industrial robot.
- Plotter printer:The plotter is a computer printer for printing vector graphics.Pen plotters print by moving a pen or other instrument across the surface of a piece of paper.
