The concept of inkjet printing originated in the 19th century, and the technology was first extensively developed in the early 1950s. Starting in the late 1970s inkjet printers that could reproduce digital images generated by computers were developed.
Inkjet printing has simple structure, is a type of computer printing that recreates a digital image by propelling droplets of ink onto substrates. In the inkjet printing mechanism, the print head has several tiny nozzles. As the paper moves past the print head, the nozzles spray ink onto it, forming the characters and images. There is usually one black ink cartridge and one so-called color cartridge containing ink in primary pigments (cyan, magenta, and yellow). Some inkjet printers use a single cartridge with cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink. A few models require separate cartridges for each primary pigment, along with a black ink cartridge.
Inkjet printing is popular now. They are capable of printing on almost other materials as paper, plastic, even clothes.
Inkjet printing is one of great inventions. It brings high efficiency with good function, easy using, get the maximum request of users. It can apply in many fields.

There are two main technologies in use in contemporary inkjet printers: continuous (CIJ) and Drop-on-demand (DOD).
Inkjet printers are used in many offices because of its flexibility. There are a lot of advantages. Printing quality is high with higher resolutions, can produce many sharp images, fresh color. An inkjet printer can produce from 100 to several hundred pages. This is the principal character. Beside they save energy, suitable for most of the needs of personal computer users, a lot of office models, companies or groups.
Furthermore, color inkjet are provided an inexpensive, not require high costs, to print full-color.
Another advantage of inkjet printers are their light weight, small and easy to transport.
