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
- 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.
- Inexpensive, produce quality imagery, and they are relatively speedy.

- 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
