How Laser Printers First Appeared and Developed
by Stargaser
On October 22, 1938, when American inventor Chester Carlson together with German immigrant Otto Kornei first transferred an image from a glass microscope slide to a sheet of wax paper using method later called electrophotography.
Kornei wrote the words “10.-22.-38 ASTORIA.” in ink on a glass microscope slide. Then the experimentalists prepared a zinc plate with a sulphur coating, darkened the room, rubbed the sulphur surface with a handkerchief to apply an electrostatic charge. After that they laid the slide on the zinc plate, exposing it to a bright, incandescent light.

If you take many shots through your digital camera, you can turn those virtual images into real photos by either sending the memory card to a digital photo lab and pay to have the pictures developed there or you can purchase a digital camera printer also known as a digital photo printer. The printer of your own is a particularly good idea if you take a lot of digital camera pictures.
Book Printing Boot Camp - Part Ten: Black Is The Color Of Profits
by brioprint2
A common miscalculation deriving from industry naivete is the self publisher’s pursuit for the affordable full-color book. Often times, self publishers find themselves in possession of colorful and vibrant content without the knowing nor wherewithal to bring it to life via commercial book printing. Simply put, unless you are printing a children’s book in the neighborhood of 32 - 64 pages, you may find yourself more than a bit sticker shocked when the estimates begin rolling in.

Web Friendly Printer
by Stargaser
If you ever tried printing a random web page, you probably know that what you get is far from original. There are stripes of white space, images chopped in two, text cut from one side, and so on. That’s annoying. On the other hand, with the development of Internet era people tend to print less, partially because of such web-hostile printer behavior.
