A printer is a device that is linked to a computer either through cables or wireless technology that allows a user to output the contents of a file on their computer onto paper.
Printing technology
Printers either use laser or ink jet technology to create their output. A bubble jet printer is a type of ink jet printer.
Types of printers
Other types of ink jet printers include dot matrix printers, thermal printers and plotters.
Basics of inkjet printing
All ink jet printers prepare their ink before squirting it through tiny holes, called nozzles, in the print head of the printer. The ink is squirted in such a way as to form characters or images on the page. Different types of ink jet printers prepare ink differently.
How it works
A bubble jet printer prepares its ink by using a special heating element that consists of transistors to heat the ink; other inkjet printers use piezoelectric crystals that cause vibrations to prepare the ink.
Significance
Inkjet, and therefore bubble jet printers, are less expensive than laser printers but still have the ability to print in color.
Fun Fact
Bubble jet printers were first developed by Canon.
