Dot Matrix Printers

An Introduction to Dot Matrix Printers

Check out our range of dot matrix printers. A dot matrix printer has a print head that runs back and forth, or in an up and down motion on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like a traditional typewriter. Dot matrix printers are the ideal form printing solution.

Choosing Your Dot Matrix Printer

9 pin printers offer speed and 24 pin versions provide improved character quality. With more pins in the print head, you get a higher resolution which means better quality print. They are also available in 2 different widths, 80 column and 136 column with 80 column taking paper up to a similar size as A4 and 136 column being a similar size to A3.
