A Bubble Jet printer is Canon's proprietary and trademarked version of an inkjet printer. Unlike traditional inkjet printers, which utilize piezoelectric crystals, Bubble Jet printers use tiny resistors to create heat that vaporizes small amounts of ink to form bubbles. These bubbles then expand rapidly, forcing ink droplets onto the paper through a nozzle.

Bubble Jet technology allows precise and high-quality printing, making these printers ideal for recreating text and images. They are commonly used in homes and offices due to their versatility, relatively low cost, and ability to produce vibrant color prints.
