A non-impact printer is a type of printer that does not require direct physical contact with the paper to produce output. Unlike impact printers, non-impact printers do not need a print head or print hammer striking against a print medium to produce output. Instead, non-impact printers use techniques such as heat, laser beams, pressure, or electric charges to create prints on print media. Non-impact printers are generally faster and quieter compared to other printer types. They are also known for their low maintenance costs and minimal environmental impact. Examples of non-impact printers include laser printers, inkjet printers, and thermal printers. Non-impact printers are now considered a staple of modern printing technology, as they require less energy to operate and produce quality prints with less noise and vibration. They are also more flexible in terms of connectivity options, with most models coming with built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, and Ethernet ports, making them easy to integrate into a network and various devices like computers, smartphones, and tablets. Non-impact printers are an excellent choice for applications that require high-resolution.
