Impact printers require the use of impact paper because it is specially designed to produce readable text or images when struck by the printer's pins or typeface. Unlike standard printing paper, impact printer paper often comes in continuous sheets that are fed through the printer, sometimes with perforated edges for easy separation. Regular paper used in printers like inkjets or lasers does not have this quality and is not designed to physically interact with the print head in the same way.
