The Evolution Of Printers
Laser Printers

There's something to be said about the progress of technology and the development of hardware, especially of the computer variety. I remember a score of years ago buying a tractor-fed ribbon printer from Radio Shack to work alongside my TRS-80 Model I computer, and paying over $700 for this behemoth printer that was noisier than most of the power tools in the garage, and shook more than any earthquake I've ever felt. While it slogged away at around 1 page per minute, I was happy that I had a means of printing computer code on to paper so that I could retype it in on another computer...now that's efficiency!

Over the years I've gone through myriads of impact, bubble-print, thermal, laser, inkjet, plotter, keystroke, and other printers, enough to realize and appreciate what they now cost and what they're capable of doing. The printers that you can buy today can printer faster, cheaper, and with higher qualities of print and resolution than anything before, and most with affordable price tags that can put more people into the publishing business, and force more out of it.

Not so many years ago, a colour laser printer would have cost thousands of dollars. But if you were in the business of selling colour copies, or publishing manuals, reports, or other materials that required some vibrancy, you might be able to earn enough money to pay off that expensive colour machine in a reasonable period of time. But today, you can buy colour laser printers for $100, and now everyone expects those reports, essays, and other materials to be done in colour. Myself, I bought a refurbished Minolta printer from a retail outlet for $150, and it has been printing steadily for me for over a year without any problems. While it doesn't have a scanner, photocopier, or fax machine built into it, it does have USB and a network connection so that every computer in the house can access it.

Taking Modern Communications For Granted
Technology

Where would we all be without all of our modern communication devices? One could argue that life would be a lot simpler, because we wouldn't be spending all of our time chatting and talking on our cellular phones, or watching television, but there is so much more involved in communications than just phones and TVs. The way that we process information on a global scale is so enormous, it's surprising how easy we understand and comprehend the "magical" transmission of news and information.

Printers Yesterday And Today
Laser Printer Toner

Printing technology has come a long way in the past twenty-five years. You might remember older printers that were so loud and rumbled so much they would shake the foundations of your house, and had the bulky cartridges stuffed with clumsy printer ribbons that always seemed to dry out before their time--that is, if they didn't get stuck, torn, or just missed the page altogether.

But these days, printers and printer ink is much more advanced, and printers using inkjet cartridges and laser toner cartridges last much longer than their early electronic forefathers.

Name brand printers such as Epson, Canon, and HP have earned our trust because they can print fast and reliably.
