Overview of Printing technology

Mechanical printing

1. Metal front impact type face & ink
   1. Assembling of individual character slugs into pages: Gutenberg
   2. Assembling negative slugs and casting lines: Linotype
   3. Creating page plates with raised letters: Offset printing
   4. Creating etched plates to collect ink:
2. Metal or Plastic front impact type face & ribbon
   1. Individual character units:

Typewriters, Flexowriter

1. 1. Full alphabet units:
      1. Teletypes (35, 33),
      2. IBM Selectric,
      3. Daisy Wheel
   2. Composed metal front impact type faces & ink:
      1. Wire matrix line printers
      2. Wire matrix type writers
   3. Composed non-impact front direct ink
      1. Inkjet with continuous jet and diverter
      2. Inkjet with on demand droplet creation
   4. Metal rear impact type face & ribbon
      1. Drum printers: calculators,
      2. Chain printers: IBM 1443,
      3. Belt Printers: CDC & Holly 512, Fasttrain, DataProducts
2. Alternate Printing Technologies
   1. Dye transfer
      1. Chemical offset using a hydrophilic master: Gestetner
      2. Computer produced master using a mechanical plotter: ~1960
   2. Thermographic dyes
      1. Multi-Color Transfer sheets
      2. Colors wax sublimation
   3. Thermographic for heat sensitive paper
      1. Receipt printers: xxxx
      2. Small computer printers: Timex Sinclair
   4. Electro-sensitive
      1. Sparks blacken charged metallic paper: Timex Sinclair
   5. Magnetic:
      1. Energized spots on a roll for carbon pickup roll

XXXerographic

1. 1. 1. Laser spot charges transferred to paper carbon pickup: Xerox, HP
