Overview of Printing technology
Mechanical printing
- Metal front impact type face & ink
- Assembling of individual character slugs into pages: Gutenberg
- Assembling negative slugs and casting lines: Linotype
- Creating page plates with raised letters: Offset printing
- Creating etched plates to collect ink:
- Metal or Plastic front impact type face & ribbon
- Individual character units:
Typewriters, Flexowriter
- Full alphabet units:
- Teletypes (35, 33),
- IBM Selectric,
- Daisy Wheel
- Composed metal front impact type faces & ink:
- Wire matrix line printers
- Wire matrix type writers
- Composed non-impact front direct ink
- Inkjet with continuous jet and diverter
- Inkjet with on demand droplet creation
- Metal rear impact type face & ribbon
- Drum printers: calculators,
- Chain printers: IBM 1443,
- Belt Printers: CDC & Holly 512, Fasttrain, DataProducts
- Full alphabet units:
- Alternate Printing Technologies
- Dye transfer
- Chemical offset using a hydrophilic master: Gestetner
- Computer produced master using a mechanical plotter: ~1960
- Thermographic dyes
- Multi-Color Transfer sheets
- Colors wax sublimation
- Thermographic for heat sensitive paper
- Receipt printers: xxxx
- Small computer printers: Timex Sinclair
- Electro-sensitive
- Sparks blacken charged metallic paper: Timex Sinclair
- Magnetic:
- Energized spots on a roll for carbon pickup roll
- Dye transfer
XXXerographic
- Laser spot charges transferred to paper carbon pickup: Xerox, HP
