Everything You Need To Know About Output Devices
What is an output device you ask? Well, an output device is anything that can convert electronic information into hard information. The most common form of an output device would be a printer. The printer would be the device that would take the electronic information from most commonly a computer and put it on to a piece of paper and now that electronic information would be information that can be read and used. Although, output devices are not limited to printers or hard information you can hold. That in a nut shell would be an output device, now I will tell you more about output devices and different kinds of output devices.
There are many different kinds of printers, but most can be classified as impact or non-impact printers. An impact printer would be a printer were the ink is actually struck onto the paper by a piece of the printer, hence the name impact printer. A non-impact printer, you guessed it, does not strike the paper at all. Instead, depending upon what kind of printer it is, it will spray tiny drops of ink onto the paper or in some cases use electronically charged ink. Non-impact printers are typically more quite then the impact for the reason of not physically striking the paper and tend to be the more modern design for printers. (www.techterms.com)

Another main type of printer would be the photo printer. A photo printer is usually an inkjet printer, although it can be a thermal dye printer, which has the ability to print high-quality digital photos and other vibrant color projects. The appeal of being able to print pictures instantly, along with the drop in digital camera prices, has enticed...

Wood-type printing allowed new typefaces to be created and used for printing cheaper than ever before. Technological advances permitted machine-set typography to be printed on machine-manufactured paper with high-speed steam-powered printing presses. The use of color lithography passed the aesthetic experience of colorful images from the privileged few to the whole of society.
Photocopiers have come a long way over the last couple of decades. From the early days of Chester Carlton’s kitchen experiments, to the rise of Xerox, followed by the subsequent explosion of new technology, it is clear that the modern photocopier has become a vital piece of office
Photocopiers rely on static electricity to perform an incredibly complex process every time you press the copy button. Photocopiers use a photo receptor drum, a metal drum coated in a layer of semiconductor which is usually selenium. The photoconductivity of selenium means that when illuminated photons cause it to conduct electricity but when it is in the dark it is an insulator. When photons hit the Selenium electrons are liberated allowing current to pass through. When you press COPY on a photocopier a complex process begins.
The printing press is a moveable type machine that is used by transferring text and images to paper using ink. The machine helped change society from making hand written books to producing books more rapidly. The printing press was more effective when it came to text and images being seen on paper. When material had to be hand written it was hard to read, but the printing press made reading a lot easier. The printing press invention became more efficient when wanting to spread work faster. The invention of the printing press was one of the most useful technology in history because it helped spread ideas, produced books, and improved the economy greatly.

Print media is a rather commonly used term referring to the medium that disseminates printed matter. In everyday life we refer to print media as the industry associated with the printing and mostly with the distribution of news through a network of media, such as newspapers and journals. People also refer to print media simply with the term "press;" it's an intermediate communicative channel aiming at reaching a large number of people. Print media example Yellow pages, Newspapers, Business directories, Books, Magazines, posters.
Imagine printing what ever it is you need from your own office or home. In addition to that, you will have full control customizing the product and the printer will have no difficulties achieving your designs. All you have to buy is the ink and the material additives and the printer will do the rest.
Input is really important for the computer. Through this device, users are allows to enter data or instructions into a computer. It changed something on the screen through the response. There are many kinds of input device for users to select depending on their application to get the result they want. There are many input technologies, for example, keyboard, pointing device, trackball, touch screen, touchpads and audio input. These devices can help users to connect with computer system directly.
The other type of printer that many of us may want in our house is a photo printer. These printers are mostly ink-jet printers. They are able to print colored images. Most of the photo printers are now programed so all you have to do is stick your memory ...
