Evolution of Printer

Printer Evolution 

What is Printer?
A device that must be connected to a computer which allows a user to print items on paper, such as letters and pictures. It can also work with digital cameras to prints directly without the use of a computer.

Olden Day Printers



Gutenberg Printing Press
  • Revolutionary invention greatly increased the speed at which books were printed.
  • These wooden machines had to be manually operated, and even the ink had to applied to the text-blocks manually.






Dye-Sublimation Printer

  • Producing photo-quality prints.
  • Process works by transferring heat to   a ribbon with 3 coloured panels and a  clear overcoat layer (cyan, magenta,  yellow, overcoat layer). 
  • 2.5 minutes to print one photo.



   Lately Printers

Laser Printer
  • Produce high quality prints at a very rapid pace, and these printers tend to have a relatively long life span.
  • Electrostatic digital printing process that rapidly produces high quality text and graphics by passing a laser beam over a charged drum to define a differentially charged image.

Inkjet Printer
  • Inexpensive, produce quality imagery, and they are relatively speedy.
  • First mass-produced consumer inkjet printers was the HP DeskJet in 1988.

Fine Art Digital Photo Printer
  • Began back in 1991 in order to produce high quality.
  • Large-size photos such as posters and other artistic prints.
  • Large-scale inkjet printer that printed A0 size paper.

Portable Printer

  • Can be carried around easily. 
  • Can carried under the shoulder.
  • Allow us work anywhere.



Future Printer
3D Printer
  • Making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model.
  • Used for both prototyping and distributed manufacturing with applications in architecture, design, engineering, food and many other fields.


This is the example of products for 3D Printer
