Ink jet printers are an effective alternative to impact printing. These printers utilize

a. charged drops of ink that move between two conducting deflecting plates before being drawn to the paper by static electricity.
b. charged drops of ink that move between two conducting deflecting plates, between which a uniform electric field exists.
c. charged drops of ink that move between two conducting deflecting plates, between which a variable electric field exists.
d. neutral drops of ink that move between two non-conducting deflecting plates, between which the ink bounces to reach the proper position.
e. neutral drops of ink that move between two conducting deflecting plates, between which a uniform electric field exists.
