Students of Georgia Institute of Technology has created a robot named PrintBot that can print out images of virtually unlimited sizes. On their site, Instructibles.com, they published a detailed step-by-step printer creation guide. The PrintBot uses a printhead from an Epson inkjet printer (as it was expected to use it, the printhead, not Epson) and… Continue reading Now Prints Can Have Unlimited Size [VIDEO]
California-based company has developed a technology that may enable cheap electronic microchips and large displays. As time passed, inkjet printing technology finds application in areas having little or nothing to do with producing texts, graphics or photos. Inkjet printers have been successfully adopted into bioengineering (for printing tissues of human body) and electronics (for printing… Continue reading New Technology Promises Cheaper Microchips and Larger Displays
The inkjet printer has come a long way from a supplementary project inside a hi-tech corporation to most popular computer printing device. If you own a printer at home, the chances are good it’s an inkjet printer. Nowadays, inkjet printers are the most popular printing device for home and small office use, but it has… Continue reading History of Inkjet Printers Development
Tonejet, a developer of digital printing process, has announced its revolutionary extra-wide printhead. The 172mm-wide head, claimed to be the world’s widest integral printhead has been developed in cooperation with a number of partners. The system is based on electrostatic drop-on-demand deposition technology that doesn’t have nozzles, but uses a very fine jet of concentrated… Continue reading World’s Widest Printhead
HP claimed it’s giving up its camera manufacturing business. Instead the company plans to focus more resources on Print 2.0 – the new web-centered printing concept. However, the company is going to maintain the brand and now is looking for an OEM partner that will design, build and distribute digital cameras under HP label. HP… Continue reading Printing Industry Overview
The idea of creating artificial body organs is not new. It has been vastly developed in sci-fi literature, where the very process of creation was surrendered to the imagination of the author. Few people know that scientists have long been into this area and have reached some positive results. Science Daily reports that Gabor Forgacs,… Continue reading The Idea of Printed Organs is Coming True
Once upon a time, printers were printing devices no different from a typewriter in terms of security. As years lapsed, time printers have become more sophisticated, network-enabled devices with hard drives and even operating systems. Pretty much like personal computer. And people keep on taking printers for what they actually are – devices that produce… Continue reading HP Technology Secures Printing
Today we take the laser printer as an integral part of everyday life in office environment. However 30 years ago when it first appeared, this piece of machinery was quite a curio. When a document is sent to the printer, a laser beam “draws” the document on a drum using electrical charges. After the drum… Continue reading How Laser Printers First Appeared and Developed
American scientists please us with another achievement in printing technology. They found a new method printing finely-detailed microscopic images with an enzyme instead of ink. The new method known as microcontact printing and reported to have a wide application for rapidly transferring high-resolution images onto large surfaces. However, current nanoscale printing technology depends on the… Continue reading A Substitute For Printing Ink is Found
Modern printers are much smarter than the original printing devices they were like, say, 10 years ago. Aside from just printing, they can scan, copy, send faxes, automatically connect to the Web for software updates, and so on. The only thing printer couldn’t do was translation. Not until now. Fuji Xerox Corporation developed a technology… Continue reading Never-seen-before Feature of Xerox Printer
