Dot Matrix Printer

Subtitle

Dot matrix printers are still used today, and the reason is that dot matrix printers can can print in duplicate or triplicate using forms. That means we can put carbon copies through the dot matrix printer and have them print out. The overall print quality of a dot matrix printer is quite poor when compared to that of other types of printers. They can also be pretty loud because printing takes place by pins physically striking the ink ribbon, paper, and the platen.

Dot-matrix printers are inexpensive and typically print at speeds of 100-600 characters per second.

Applications used is for personal use mostly since its a technology which isnt't worth alot of money .
