Ink Jet Printer
Inkjet printers use colour cartridges which combine magenta, yellow and cyan inks to create colour tones. A black cartridge is also used for crisp monochrome output.
This method of printing can generate up to 200 cps and allows for good quality, cheap colour printing.
Characters are formed from a matrix of dots.
The speed is usually 30 - 550 characters per second (cps). This is the cheapest of the printer family.
