Detailed explanation-1: -Noisy – Dot matrix printers are noisier than other types of printers, they can be disruptive to quiet environments. Prone to jamming – Because dot matrix printers use a ribbon to transfer ink to the paper, they are more prone to jamming if the ribbon is not loaded or maintained properly.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dot matrix printers create noise when the pins or typeface strike the ribbon to the paper, and sound-damping enclosures may have to be used in quiet environments. They can only print lower-resolution graphics, with limited color performance, limited quality, and lower speeds compared to non-impact printers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Line matrix printers construct a line of text with the help of lines of dots and are also known as eco-friendly because they generate less landfill waste from packaging, hardware, or consumables.
Detailed explanation-4: -Unlike laser and inkjet devices, dot matrix printers can operate in environments with extreme temperatures and dust and produce a constant stream of reliable output for a long period of time. Inkjet inks and laser toner tolerate heat and cold poorly, and dust causes these devices to jam and produce inferior output.
