Ink-jet printer  form characters and graphics by spraying tiny drops of liquid ink onto a piece of paper.

Laser printer a high speed, high quality nonimpact printer. also for personal computers usually us individual sheets of paper stored in a removable tray that slides into the printer case.

Portable printer  a small, lightweight printer that allows mobile user to print from a laptop or handheld computer while traveling.

Plotters and Large-formal printer sophisticated printer used to produce high quality drawing such as blueprints, maps, circuit diagrams, and signs.

Two basic types of plotters are Pen plotters and Electrostatic plotters. 

Pen plotters uses one or more color pen light beams.
