Dot Matrix Printers

Using the head and ribbon method to get ink onto paper, dot matrix printers work by punching a series of pins through the ink ribbon and onto the page. Characters and small graphics are made up of closely placed dots with great clarity and precision. And most machines have the option to switch between 9 or 24 pins, making it easy to print faster (on the 9-pin setting) or at a higher resolution (on the 24-pin setting) depending on your needs. One ribbon is capable of punching over 7 million characters before it needs replacing, which can lower your printing costs considerably while offering a “set it and forget it” kind of experience. There’s no need for additional ink monitoring software, either. You’ll be able to see the ribbon start to dry out and replacing it is an easy task. With these machines, low ink doesn’t halt the printing process, so you’re able to squeeze out the last few sheets of a form with no interruptions.
