Inkjet printers and drivers
Inkjet printer drivers are available on all supported Windows and UNIX operating
systems.
What are inkjet
printers?
Inkjet printers are large, high-speed printers that, from a high-pressure jet of ink,
precisely deflect ink droplets as “dots” toward the print target. The dots form the
characters that make up the address and message content. These inkjet printers
need a different set of instructions than regular printers do.
For our purposes, bubble jet printers do not qualify as inkjet printers.
Why use inkjet
printers?
If you want to print address information directly on a mail piece, you need to use
an inkjet printer. Some inkjet systems support messaging. If you use such an
inkjet printer, you can add messages to your mail pieces. Some inkjets allow
messaging, which can change according to the specific mail piece or remain the
same for all mail pieces. Some inkjet users can also use demographic codes to
control the bindery line.
