Printing Innovation And Okidata's 5000
We are the pivotal generation in business, with many of us having been there when Harvard graphics made the presentation a startlingly easy professional capability. With all due respect to history, the introduction and adaptation to these new technologies was a reasonably smooth process. We have mastered every new device from the electric typewriter to the Okidata 5000 printer and 5000 replacement toner.
We have come a long way from inking up carved wood blocks as a means to mass produce the written word. The movable type introduced mass printing to the world in a big way back in 1450 with the Gutenberg press and the printed King James Bible, which still took over a year to print. Then came the typewriter, which seemed like one device that would be around forever, my how technology changes things.
But the changes took on speed in the 20th century when we saw the invention of printers. The typewriter soon had a new version, a typewriter combined with a screen allowing the typist to review several sentences before sending it to print. This was soon face to face with a word processor, a true revolution. No longer would we have to retype a whole page because we got a case of fat fingers near the end.
As soon as the ability to see the typed words and make alterations before printing became a possibility, it was inevitable that the word processor would be invented. While we have seen numerous iterations of the technology, the fundamental idea has remained the same, but now spelling and grammar checking and thesauruses were added. Always the pursuit of speed and quality drove the improvements in written communications.
But the digital era created consumers always impatient for better and faster devices and the printer world was no exception. Following the impact printer came the dot matrix printers which added font flexibility and some speed to the process of printing and considerably reduced the noise associated with the process. There were still concerns, however, as the dot matrix printers left much to be desired in the quality of print area.
Still, to truly make its mark in the business arena, the printer needed to be able to produce professional documents in the office, and technology was up to the task. The drive for faster and better quality printing generated new ideas and processes for getting our thoughts into writing. The ink jet, bubble jet and laser technologies made the leap to professional in office printing.
These new ways gave us the flexibility to print increasingly professional word documents, especially when using Okidata compatible toners. The images which appeared were as good as any book, magazine or newspaper, and with some creativity in printing brochures and pamphlets could be devised. The limitations were now centered around the size and manipulation of the paper involved with the printing process.
Once these new methods of printing caught on, there was no turning back. Now anything that could be printed could be printed in the office, no more need for graphics divisions or outsourcing. Even photographic images can be handled in the office or, as the prices and sizes became ever more reasonable in the home, and with devices like the Okidata 5000 printer and Oki 5000 laser toner, the quality is always professional.
