Pc printer evolution

Machine printers have helped evolve and develop the printing market to its known rank. We can today do so many things like CD printing and DVD printing thanks to the available technology. Much personal computer printers have evolved a abundance since they were first brought to the market in the eighties all the more though computer printer had been made for professional or governmental exercise for many years, with Remington-Rand for example developing one of the first high-speed printers in the fifties to be used on the Univac computer also called the Universal Automatic Computer. Whereas the quickness of the first computer printers was in reality calculated in units of characters printed per seconds, the hurry of modern printers is straightaway considered in pages printed per minute, which clearly makes a huge difference. You can at the moment find various types of computer printers very easily in the market. You can get for example toner-based printers that in feature j

Another type of printer is the liquid inkjet printer that simply sprays very small and precise amount of ink onto the piece of paper or other. You can also get solid ink printers, dye sublimation printers or still inkless printers that apply a specific paper containing colourless dye crystals. But with all this technology we tend to forget that the printing system goes back to hundred of years. Printing first came to Europe as a method for printing on textile in the fourteenth century, where it mainly had a religious use. A century later, what we call block printing was transferred from cloth to other materials and soon playing cards were quickly printed on paper. It is believed though that Mister Gutenberg developed European printing technology in the middle of the fifteenth century in 1439. The printing press invented by Gutenberg in Germany completely chan
ged the production of books and greatly helped to the spread of knowledge throughout Europe and the all world. Books did not have to be handwriting copied one after the other any more; they could be printed as an alternative! Printing houses started to appear near the generation of Gutenberg and were run by master printers. The most famous master printer being in reality Erasmus. As we can see, computer printers come from very far in history and keep evolving very quickly thanks to the technology used.
