If you look at the ink cartridge of inkjet printers closely, you will notice a small pump inside. This pump is designed to force the ink out of the well and squirt it through a nozzle onto the page. Inkjet printers produce a printout line by line, although the print mechanisms they use do not necessarily make contact with the page.
