Deliver accuracy with dot matrix printers
Achieve high-precision alignment for a variety of paperwork with dot matrix printers. They come with impact-printing heads attached to metal bars for accurate character placement. While photo printers offer higher resolution, dot matrix printers also ensure crisp and readable output. Models with 9-pin grids provide acceptable results for basic text, while those with 24-pin configurations enhance print quality for symbols, shapes, and other images. Like most Brother® printers, dot matrix machines also accommodate different types of media, including receipt rolls, index stocks, address labels, and envelopes. Some units integrate optical sensors for correct printhead positioning on cut-sheet and continuous forms. With auto-tear functionality, it’s easy to retrieve neat and professional looking printouts.
Increase efficiency with dot matrix printing
Power through heavy workloads for dedicated printing on up to six- or seven-part forms. Impact printing generates adequate force to leave clear impressions on multiple sheets in a single pass. Handy copies of invoices, data logs, and freight documents make it convenient for inventory, bookkeeping, and auditing purposes. Like many printers, dot matrix printing machines also cover a range of speeds in various modes. On average, high-speed printing in draft mode runs between 550 to 600 characters per second (cps). High-end models can operate at up to 735 cps to complete long print jobs. Opt for ink ribbons with high character yields for fewer replacements and minimal downtime.
