I'd ONLY use an impact printer if I need to fill out a multi-part form... meaning, a form that is several pages thick, and the impact printer causes bottom pages to print by using impact sensitive paper.

What is the difference between impact printer an nonimpact printergive two examples each?

An impact printer, is one that has a mechanism that makes the letters physically strike the paper. Two examples would be a daisy-wheel and a golf-ball printer. Non-impact printers use either jets to quirt microscopic dots of ink onto the paper, or tiny electrical impulses to 'burn' the characters onto the paper. Two examples would be an ink-jet printer and a thermal printer.
