A color printer is a device capable of reproducing text and images (usually on paper) utilizing primary colors, rather than the shades of grey used in black-and-white printing. The picture shows an example of a common color printer made by Lexmark.

Today, most color printers use inkjet technology. While there are some color laser printers, most of them are for high-volume printing in black and white.
