Inkjet printers are a type of printer that sprays tiny droplets of liquid ink directly onto paper to create high-quality text and images. They are popular for home and small-office use due to their ability to produce sharp, detailed prints, including photos and color documents, and their relatively compact size. Inkjet printers are versatile, supporting a range of paper types and sizes, and are generally cost-effective for low-to-moderate printing volumes, though ink cartridges may need frequent replacement for heavy use.
