   Each solenoid is connected to a lever, which is connected to a long rod, which acts as a pin at the bottom of the print head. Dot matrix printing uses a print head that moves back-and-forth, or in an up-and-down motion, on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like the print mechanism on a ...

   A piezo changes shape when voltage is applied. The amount of dimensional change is extremely small. A Piezo also be made in many different sizes. The smaller the piezo the smaller the shape displacement. The use of a DOD piezo to print a text character (the size of these letters) requires the piezo to be placed side by side in a housing.

   Transparencies can be printed using a variety of technologies. In the 1960s and 70s the GAF OZALID "projecto-viewfoil" used a diazo process to make a clear sheet framed in cardboard and protected by a rice paper cover. [1] In the 1980's laser printers or copiers could make foil sheets using standard xerographic processes. Specialist ...

   Solid ink technology utilizes solid ink sticks, crayons, pearls or granular solid material instead of the fluid ink or toner powder usually used in printers. Some types of solid ink printers use small spheres or pucks of solid ink, which are stored in a hopper before being transferred to the printing head by a worm gear or melted as needed.

   Supertank printers are a type of continuous ink system (CISS) inkjet printer.Supertank printers differ from traditional inkjet printers in that the printhead is connected via a tube system that draws ink from large ink tanks built into the printer, which are filled and refilled via ink bottles, eliminating the need for ink cartridges.
