Printer History || what is Printer

A printer is one of the computer's output devices that prints computer processing results on the relevant media. There are three indicators for measuring the quality of a printer: print resolution, print speed, and noise.

What is Printer

There are many types of printers, such as whether the printing component has a hitting action on the paper, a split-type printer and a non-impact printer. Press the print character structure to divide the full-size printer and dot matrix character printer.

 A string printer and a line printer in a way that a line of words is formed on paper. According to the technology used, it is divided into cylindrical, spherical, inkjet, thermal, laser, electrostatic, magnetic, LED and other printers.

   The printer was invented by John Water and Dave Donald. A device on which a computer's calculation results or intermediate results are printed on paper in a prescribed format, such as numbers, letters, symbols, and graphics that can be recognized by humans. The printer is moving toward light, thin, short, small, low power, high speed and intelligent.

Internet rapid development of the network, it was predicted that no paper coming era, the printer's hour has come. 

However, global paper consumption is growing at a rate of multiple times per year, and printer sales are increasing at an average rate of nearly 8%. 

All of this indicates that the printer will not disappear, and it will grow faster and faster, and the field of application will become wider and wider. 

 Printer History

From the emergence of the world's first printer in 1885, to a variety of dot matrix printers, inkjet printers, and laser printers, they have taken the lead in different eras.

Today, let us look for historical footprints, from technology to brand. Review the glorious history of inkjet printers with the product, application market and target consumers, and make a simple analysis of the future development trend of the spray.

First Printer Technology

The basic working principle of the inkjet printer is to first generate small ink droplets, and then use the inkjet head to guide the fine ink droplets to the set position. The smaller the ink droplets, the clearer the printed image. The basics seem simple, but they are not that simple to operate. Just as the principle of calculus is not complicated, the complexity is how to apply it.

Here are a few historical breakthroughs in inkjet printers.

Time event summary

In 1976, the world's first inkjet printer was born.

In 1976, piezoelectric dot control technology was introduced.

In 1979, Bubble Jet bubble inkjet technology was introduced.

In August 1980, Canon applied its bubble jet technology to its inkjet printer Y-80 for the first time, and began the history of inkjet printers.

In 1991, the first color inkjet printer and large format printer appeared.

In 1994, micro piezoelectric printing technology was introduced.
