Input Output Devices Lesson 4

What is an inkjet printer?

• Uses dry toner
• Produces droplets of ink using a thermal bubble or piezoelectric crystal
• Squeezes plastic to create 3D models
• Uses laser technology

Which technology is NOT used in inkjet printers?

• Thermal bubble
• Dot matrix
• Piezoelectric crystal
• None of the above

What is a key characteristic of laser printers?

• Uses liquid ink
• Uses dry toner and laser technology
• Produces 3D objects
• Uses piezoelectric crystal

Which of the following is true about 3D printers?

• They use dry toner
• They print using ink
• Can print using materials like plastic filament, resin, and metal powder
• Use thermal bubble technology

What is a common use of inkjet printers?

• Industrial manufacturing
• Home printing and photo printing
• Large-scale 3D model creation
• High-speed text printing

Laser printers are commonly used in:

• Home environments
• Businesses and for photocopying
• Food printing
• Fabric printing

Which of these is a benefit of the thermal bubble technology in inkjet printers?

• Can print 3D models
• Less expensive than piezoelectric technology
• Uses dry toner
• Prints using a laser

A drawback of using thermal bubble technology in inkjet printers is:

• Higher maintenance due to high temperatures
• Can only print in black and white
• Slow printing speed
• Cannot print photos

In laser printers, what is the role of the laser?

• Melt the ink onto the paper
• Apply an electrostatic charge to the print drum
• Create 3D layers
• Print photographs

What is a significant advantage of 3D printing?

• Faster than traditional manufacturing
• Can produce custom made parts and intricate designs
• Uses liquid ink
• Ideal for high-volume printing
