Dot matrix printers:

Advantages
Dot matrix printers, like any impact printer, can print on multi-part stationery or make carbon copies. Impact printers have one of the lowest printing costs per page. As the ink is running out, the printout gradually fades rather than suddenly stopping partway through a job. They are able to use continuous paper rather than requiring individual sheets, making them useful for data logging. They are good, reliable workhorses ideal for use in situations where printed content is more important than quality. The ink ribbon also does not easily dry out, including both the ribbon stored in the casing as well as the portion that is stretched in front of the print head; this unique property allows the dot-matrix printer to be used in environments where printer duty can be rare, for instance, as with a Fire Alarm Control Panel’s output.

[edit] Disadvantages
Impact printers are usually noisy, to the extent that sound dampening enclosures are available for use in quiet environments. They can only print low resolution graphics, with limited color performance, limited quality and comparatively low speed. While far better suited to printing on labels than a laser printer or an inkjet printer, they are prone to bent pins (and therefore a destroyed printhead) caused by printing a character half-on and half-off the label; for text-only labels (ie. mailing labels), a daisy wheel printer offers all the advantages of a dot matrix, with better print quality and a lesser chance of being damaged.
