It produces letter quality type. Daisy wheel printer works on the same principle as a ball-head typewriter. The daisy wheel is a disk made of plastic or metal on wich characters stand out in relief along the outer edge. To print a character, the printer rotates the disk until the desire letter is facing the paper. Then a hammer strikes the disk, facing the character to hit an ink ribbon.
Daisy wheel printers can't print graphics, and they are noisy and slow, printing from 10cps to 75 cps.
