What is the difference between impact and non-impact printers?

4 years ago
Computer Graphics

Impact printers press formed character faces against an inked ribbon on to the paper. A line printer and dot-matrix printer are examples.

Non-impact printer and plotters use Laser techniques, inkjet sprays, Xerographic process, electrostatic methods and electro thermal methods to get images onto the papers.

Examples are: Inkjet/Laser printers.
