A thermal inkjet printer is a type of printer that uses heat to eject ink onto paper. Inside the printer, tiny heating elements (typically resistors) heat the ink in the printhead, causing small bubbles to form. These bubbles push the ink droplets out of the nozzle, which then land on the paper to create text or images.
The main advantages of thermal inkjet printers are their high print quality with fine resolution and relatively simple, cost-effective design. However, their print speed is generally slower compared to laser printers.
