What is an Inkjet Printer?

Inkjet printing technology has made the printing of full color high-quality photographs and documents much easier, sharper and more affordable. But what is an inkjet printer?

An inkjet print head has a tiny chamber where ink is fed and an even smaller nozzle out of which the ink is ejected one drop at a time. This method offers a high level of control to produce high quality and high-resolution images.

Before the introduction of inkjet print heads, most other printing methods applied ink directly onto paper with a printing plate or printing blanket to make a physical impression on the surface of the paper. This often meant that printing presses were large, messy and expensive. It also meant that the printer actually touched the printing surface sometimes leaving unwanted print marks. 

The inventors of inkjet printing realized that microscopic drops of ink sprayed onto the paper in a controlled manner produced high quality images on demand. The drops of ink are so small that they are almost invisible to the human eye until they combine to compose the image.

This technology makes it possible for businesses of all sizes to produce high quality marketing materials, documents, contracts and even banners for their own use. This provides extra savings in overall printing costs.
