Development History Of Printer

In 1996, Lexmark used the EXCIMER ARGON/FLUMRINE laser cutting technology to launch the world's first 1200* 1200DPI ultra-high resolution color inkjet printer Lexmark CJ7000

The EPSON Stylus Photo 700, the world's first color spray with the highest resolution of 1440DPI and six-color printing, was launched in 1998

In 1998, the world's first 7-color photo printer Canon BJC-7100 was introduced

In 1999, the epSONIP-100, the first color inkjet printer that could print A4 photos without a computer, was born

In 2000, the first color inkjet printer HP DJ970Cxi that supports automatic double-sided printing was born.

In 2003, the HP Photosmart 7960, the world's first digital photo printer with eight-color ink water technology, was launched

Spring 2005 The world's first 9-color photo printer HP Photosmart 8758 was born

Inkjet printing was first proposed in 1960, but it took 16 years for the first commercial inkjet printer to appear at IBM. The original BM4640 was developed by Hertz and his colleagues at the Lutheran Institute of Industrial Technology in Sweden, Europe, as a continuous inkjet technology. The so-called continuous inkjet is whether the impression or non-impression, in a continuous way to produce ink droplets, and then the non-impression of the ink droplets recovery or dispersion. But the technique, which USES drops of ink almost exclusively on paper, is so inefficient that it has no practical use in practice.

In 1976, piezoelectric ink point control technology was introduced

In the same year as IBM4640, Zoltan, Kyser and Sear, three pioneer researchers of Siemens Science and Technology, developed piezoelectric ink spot control technology (the predecessor of EPSON technology) in the same year, and successfully applied it to Seimens PT-80. This printer was mass-produced and sold in 1978, making it the world's first commercially valuable inkjet printer. In 1979, the Bubble Jet inkjet technology was introduced

Canon, a researcher at the successfully developed mercifully Jet Bubble inkjet technology, this technology USES heating components in the heart of the nozzle ink instant heating Bubble formation pressure, thus the ink from the nozzle, and then the physical properties of the recycled ink itself cooling hot air bubbles fade, to achieve control of the ink dot the dual purpose of pass in and out with size. One day in July 1977, Ichiro Endo of the Canon Product Technology Research Institute in Muhei District, Tokyo, was doing experiments in his laboratory when he happened to put a heated soldering iron on the side of a needle and the ink flew out quickly from the needle. Inspired by this, the bubble inkjet technology was invented two years later.

At the same time, HP invented the same technology, and both HP and Canon claimed that their researchers had invented ink-jet printing technology, thus establishing their position in the ink-jet printing field. But the idea of a bubble was usurped by Canon, which called it Thermal Ink-Jet.

In 1991, the first color inkjet printer, large format printer appeared

HP HP Deskjet 500C is the first color inkjet printer in the world. In June 1994, HP Deskjet 525Q came into being in China after being transformed locally. HP DesignJet is HP's first thermal ink-jet printer for large-format printers, unveiling the world's first monochrome large-format ink-jet printer. The appearance of color inkjet printer and large format printing is the most important milestone in the history of inkjet printer.

In 1994, micro-piezoelectric printing technology was introduced

As early as in the 1970s, Epson started the research of piezoelectric technology. After nearly 20 years, epson finally successfully applied micro-piezoelectric printing technology to the field of printer and realized productization. The basic principle of micro-voltage technology is that many tiny piezoelectric ceramics are placed near the nozzle of the printing head of the inkjet printer. The principle that the ink will deform under the action of voltage makes the ink in the nozzle squirt out and form a pattern on the surface of the output medium.

Since then, Epson's intelligent ink droplet transformation technology, natural color reduction technology, ultra-fine micro ink droplet technology, etc. Canon's professional photo optimization technology, four-fold color control technology, etc. HP fulitu layered technology, intelligent color enhancement technology, etc. Have further improved the technical content of inkjet printer.
