Understanding Output Devices

What is a key characteristic of laser printers?

• Requires special paper for printing.

• Prints only in black and white.

• High-quality text and image printing using toner.

• Uses ink cartridges instead of toner.

How does an inkjet printer produce images?

• By using heat to melt ink onto the paper.

• By embedding ink cartridges directly into the paper.

• An inkjet printer produces images by spraying tiny droplets of ink onto paper.

• By projecting images using laser technology.
