English term or phrase: dot-matrix inkjet

referring to old (early 1990s) printers. Looking for a natural-sounding English translation. Doesn't have to be literal.

context: '...than when I put dot-matrix inkjet to perforated paper' - the phrase is contrasting the past with the present.

(punkt)matrisskrivare

Explanation:
"punktmatrisskrivare" or "matrisskrivare" refers to the printer (ie dot-matrix inkjet printer), but in this context you might want to use just (punkt)matris (eg. "...satte matrisen till det hålade papperet" jfr "sätta pennan till papperet")

Thanks. Will still have to decide whether to go with a literal translation or not, but at least now I know what the original phrase means.
