The knowledge of Printing

Probably we all know that printing is a process for reproducing text and image, typically with ink or toner on paper using a printing press or a printer, nothing out of the ordinary so far. Printing first appeared as a means of spreading knowledge but only few people know that there is also knowledge behind the printing which ,allowed progress and revolutionasing its means of expression: the printing machines.

From the first printing blocks, until the digital printing, which apeared the last century, the evolution of printing has undergone a series of steps that have been adapted to the requirements of the times and technology.

The one who revolutionized the technique and led printing to a new level of evolution, opening the way to modernism was Johannes Gutenberg, by inveting the printing press. Developing European mobile printing technology triggers its rapid spread across the continent in just a decade, marking the start of mass printing in Europe and from that point printing machines have never stopped evolving.

Regarding technology, just think of photocopying technology introduced by Xerox (1960), which represented a revolution, especially in terms of technology office supplies. The photocopying machine allowed rapid multiple copies at the push of a button, and soon became indispensable for conducting an effective administrative activities in companies, regardless of the profile. Another popular device is the Laser Printer (1969) – invention all belonging to the Xerox who have „crafted” the photocopying machine until they have obtained the laser printer.

A surprising fact is that the dot matrix printer appeared after the laser technology. Due to the relatively high price of laser printers, this printing technology has become very popular in the 1970s and 1980s due to lower price and versatility that they displayed, becoming in the 1990s, the most widely used printing technology for personal computers. Nowadays however, the inkjet printer (1976) became the most used printer. The technology has seen a rapid optimization for personal use, offering very good performance.

Nonetheless, the products listed so far represent only the most familiar among the priting machines, as the knowledge of printing developed accordingly to specific needs altering the way people describe and perceive the world around them. In terms of professionalism in printing, the search for solutions goes deeper, adapting and adjusting technology to functionality.

Having revolutionary means of communication on our side, such as the internet, nothing has never been easier in finding the right priting solution or machinery. And of course, if one has in mind an overview on this field, feel free to explore http://www.allforprintmarket.com/2-printing-machines/, a all- in one web site covering everything related to printing: printing machines (strating from the simple copiers or printers to large format equipments and presses of diferrent types, digital , flexografic, gravure ..),screen or termography equipments, slotres and may other) pre-press systems ( computer to film ,plate or press systems, desktop publishing, image setters).
