inkjets
Nozzle-based printers
Inkjets are printers that spray tiny droplets of ink onto paper to create images and text.
The term usually appears as a modifier: inkjet printer, inkjet cartridge.
Inkjets produce high-quality color output at lower cost than laser printers, making them common in homes and small offices.
The technology also appears in industrial applications like textile printing.
