The printhead is installed into the carriage assembly. It is the part that prints the ink onto the printing material.
The element in a printer that forms a printed character. See: daisywheel.
The printing section of an inkjet printing system which can contain a single channel or multiple channels. The portion of the system which contains the tranducers, orifices, charge deflectious elements etc. The ink supply system including the reservoir may be attached or remotely connected by a hose (or tube).
this is the part that actually jettisons the ink onto your paper - may be permanent part of printer or part of the cartridge.
The device on a direct thermal or thermal transfer printer containing the heating element that causes an image to be transferred to the facestock.
Electronic thermal transfer printing element using individually heated pins to transfer a printed image onto a substrate.
In an inkjet device, the printhead contains the nozzles and electronics that control the ejection of ink drops. This electro-mechanical functionality allows the delivery of ink dots.
The printhead is the part of the printer or printer cartridge that contains the necessary electrical and/or electronic circuitry and nozzles needed to spray the ink onto the paper during the printing process.
The device in an inkjet printer that sprays droplets of ink onto the substrate. Printheads contain nozzles (grouped by color), and typically shuttles back and forth across the substrate as ink drop-lets are forced out on the nozzles.
The important, usually movable, part of a printer. This contains the printing elements directly responsible for applying ink to a medium. As a general rule of thumb, a printhead with more nozzles will have a larger print swath (coverage), resulting in faster outputs.
The mechanism inside the printer that prints.
