Inkjet Printer Components and Operation

Inkjet printers are common home printers, relatively inexpensive and quiet, offering color and high resolution.
Ink cartridges are proprietary, often expensive to replace.
Ink fades quickly, making them unsuitable for long-term archiving.
Ink cartridges tend to clog easily, requiring daily cleaning cycles.
Ink cartridges contain ink and integrated printheads in some models.
Print heads and ink are separate components in some printers, enabling individual replacement.
Paper is fed through rollers at the front of the printer.
Feed rollers require cleaning and maintenance for smooth paper feeding.
Duplexers allow double-sided printing without manual intervention. Internal mechanisms flip pages.
Ink cartridges are in a carriage moved by a belt across the page.
Four color print heads (CMYK - cyan, magenta, yellow, black) may need calibration.
Calibration adjusts print head alignment for correct color registration.
Calibration pages show color accuracy for printer check and adjustments.
