Printer History
fun Facts
In 1953, the
first high-speed printer was developed by Remington-Rand for
use on the
Univac computer.
In 1938,
Chester Carlson invented a dry printing process called
electrophotography commonly called a Xerox, the foundation
technology for laser printers to come.
The original laser printer
called EARS was developed at the Xerox Palo Alto Research
Center beginning in 1969 and completed in November, 1971.
Xerox Engineer, Gary Starkweather adapted Xerox copier
technology adding a laser beam to it to come up with the laser
printer. According to Xerox, "The Xerox 9700 Electronic
Printing System, the first xerographic laser printer product,
was released in 1977. The 9700, a direct descendent from the
original PARC "EARS" printer which pioneered in laser scanning
optics, character generation electronics, and page-formatting
software, was the first product on the market to be enabled by
PARC research."
According to IBM, "the very
first IBM 3800 was installed in the central accounting office
at F. W. Woolworth’s North American data center in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin in 1976." The IBM 3800 Printing System was the
industry’s first high-speed, laser printer. A laser printer
that operated at speeds of more than 100
impressions-per-minute. It was the first printer to combine
laser technology and electrophotography according to IBM.
In 1992, Hewlett-Packard
released the popular LaserJet 4 printer, the first 600 by 600
dots per inch resolution laser printer.
In 1976, the inkjet printer
was invented, but it took until 1988 for the inkjet to become
a home consumer item with Hewlett-Parkard's release of the
DeskJet inkjet printer, priced at a whopping $1000.
