Wikipedia definition of printer
In computing, a printer is a peripheral device which makes a persistent human-readable representation of graphics or text on paper. The first computer printer designed was a mechanically driven apparatus by Charles Babbage for his difference engine in the 19th century; however, his mechanical printer design was not built until 2000. The first electronic printer was the EP-101, invented by Japanese company Epson and released in 1968. The first commercial printers generally used mechanisms from electric typewriters and Teletype machines. The demand for higher speed led to the development of new systems specifically for computer use. In the 1980s were daisy wheel systems similar to typewriters, line printers that produced similar output but at much higher speed, and dot matrix systems that could mix text and graphics but produced relatively low-quality output. The plotter was used for those requiring high quality line art like blueprints.

Printer inks
Various types of printer inks are available for sale. They are mainly divided into black and color inks having different capacities. Standard sizes of printer inks are purchased by people with the highest quality printers who do not want to make too many prints or prefer to buy accessories that have generally accepted sizes. In contrast, large printer inks can be bought by people who want to make a large number of prints or make some savings. This is because large-size printer inks are usually slightly cheaper or covered by special promotions that make them really attractive.
Multifunctional business printers
Multifunctional company printers do not have to be large in size so that you can use them to do a lot of really professional looking printouts. Therefore, the largest companies have both small printers and large printing devices used when printing the most important reports and large banners or advertisements. Such printers should always be very durable and truly specialized, because otherwise you will not be able to execute company orders using them. However, having the highest quality printers means that all office work is carried out very smoothly.
