Dream Interpretation

To see a printer in your dreams, is a warning of poverty, if you neglect to practice economy and cultivate energy. For a woman to dream that her lover or associate is a printer, foretells she will fail to please her parents in the selection of a close friend. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted ....

Specialty Definition: Computer printer

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A computer printer is a computer peripheral device that produces hard copy (permanent human-readable text and/or graphics usually on paper) from data stored in a computer connected to it.

Monochrome, Color and Photo Printers

A monochrome printer can only produce an image consisting of one color, usually black. A monochrome printer may also be able to produce graduations of tone of that color, such as a grey-scale.

A color printer can produce images of multiple colors.

A photo printer is a color printer that can produce images that mimic the color range and resolution of photographic methods of printing.

Methods of Image Creation

The media for most printers is paper, so they usually classified according to the method of image creation.

Toner-Based Printers

Laser printers and thermal printers refer to the method used to adhere toner to the media. The advent of cost-effective, precision lasers has made them the dominant toner-based monochrome printer type for home and office applications.

Ink Jet Printers

Ink jet printers spray very small, precise amounts (usually a few picolitres) of ink onto the media. For color applications including photo printing, ink jet methods are dominant.

Impact Printers

Impact printers rely on a forceable impact to transfer ink to the media, similar to typewriters, that are typically limited to reproducing text. A daisy wheel printer is a specific type of impact printer where the type is contained on a wheel.

Dot-Matrix Printers

In the general sense many printers rely on a matrix of pixels, or dots, that together form the larger image. However, the term dot matrix is specifically used for impact printers that use a matrix of small pins to create precise dots. The advantage of dot-matrix over other impact printers is that they can produce graphical images in addition to text; however the text is generally of poorer quality than type-based impact printers.

Some sub-classifications of dot-matrix printers are ballistic wire printers and stored engergy printers.

Dot matrix printers can either be character-based or line-based, referring to the configuration of the print head.

Dot matrix printers are still commonly used in low-cost, low-quality applications like cash registers.

Other Printers

A number of other sorts of printers are important for historical reasons, or for special purpose uses:

The Printer Manufacturing Business

Often the razor and blades business model ia applied. That is, a company may sell a printer at cost, and make profits on the ink cartridge, paper, or some other replacement part. This has caused legal disputes regarding the right of companies other than the printer manufacturer to sell compatible ink cartridges.

Printer

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In modern times, the word printer commonly refers to a computer printer.

The term printer is also used to describe a company that provides commercial printing services, involving typesetting, printing and book-binding.

Formerly, it referred to persons who operated printing presses, or ran printing companies. Many of these people would today be referred to as publishers.

Someone who makes artistic prints, usually by hand in limited runs, is known as a printmaker.

Printing

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Printing is an industrial process for reproducing copies of texts and images, typically with ink on paper using a printing press. It is an important part of publishing.

Printing using a printing press dates back to the 15th century in Europe, although the technique is believed to have been developed and used earlier in China. An example is the Diamond Sutra of AD 868, a Buddhist scripture, which is the earliest known dated work of block printing. For a fuller history of printing, see the printing press article.

A document can also be printed by a laser printer or other computer printer. In recent years, computer printing and industrial printing processes have converged, leading to the development of digital printing.

The artistic process of printmaking is also known as printing, as is photographic printing.
