An inkjet printer is any printer that places extremely small droplets of ink onto paper to create an image. If you ever look at a piece of paper that has come out of an inkjet printer, you know that:
The dots are extremely small (usually between 50 and 60 microns in diameter), so small that they are tinier than the diameter of a human hair (70 microns)!
The dots are positioned very precisely, with resolutions of up to 1440x720 dots per inch (dpi).
The dots can have different colors combined together to create photo-quality images.

It depends on what type of printer it is, inkjet, dot matrix or laser, some have beams inside, others print tiny dots on to the paper that form the writing and others have a toner inside. Because of this, they all print at different speeds and quality, with a laser printer being the best.
Hope this helps

the ink is sent down to the rollers and then he rollers go back nd forth creating a picture, more colours = more time cos it has to cover a more wider surface or paper
