The printer is a peripheral device used to make a depiction of graphs, pictures, and text on the paper. It was designed in the nineteenth century and the first electronic printer EP-101 was launched in 1968 by Epson. The professional printers are the printers that are designed for high volume and high-speed printing. The basic categories of printers are impact and non-impact printers but as the technology and innovation have advanced the variants of printers have also increased. The impact printers consist of mechanical components for printing and include categories such as dot-mixed printers, daisy wheel printers, and line printers whereas, the non-impact printers create direct contact of ink and paper, consisting of inkjet printers, thermal printers, and laser printers. The other modern print technologies include dye-sublimation printers, wireless printers, multifunctional printers, 3D printers, and others. The surge in digital printing has increased the demand for professional printers to improve efficiency.
