The name 'Inkjet' describes the process of propelling a jet of ink out of the print head and onto the printing surface. The ink is in a disposable cartridge and there is no actual contact with the printed surface during printing. Inkjet printers make up well over 80 percent of the printer market. With this success and acceptance comes an array of models to choose from. Features to look for in a Printer Print Quality and Resolution.
Resolution refers to the quality and sharpness of the printer's output.
Technically, the higher the dpi the sharper and more detailed the resulting image. However, dots per inch measurements can vary widely. When comparing the dpi of various models, remember that the dpi is more of a factor for printing images. The clarity and quality of plain printed text documents is barely discernable when comparing low and hi-resolution printers. If your printer is used more for text documents than graphics the dpi is not as big a factor as some other features.
