Dot Matrix Printing is a type of printing that uses a print head with a series of tiny pins. These pins strike an inked ribbon against paper, creating characters and images by forming dots. This method allows for the production of text and simple graphics, making it suitable for tasks like printing invoices and labels. One of the key features of dot matrix printers is their ability to print multi-part forms, such as carbon copies. They are often used in environments where durability and cost-effectiveness are important, like warehouses and offices, despite being less common than modern printers.
