Digital Printers in Midrand

From the very first images sketched by the men and women of old to the digital prints of today, the ability to replicate what we can see is one of the most important needs of any society. Minuteman Press, expert digital printers in Midrand are one of these pioneers who use their years of experience in order to successfully fulfil the needs of any business. Although they did not invent printing, they are certainly moving the process of printing towards a brighter future. As for the history of digital printing, these are the highlights.

Automated printing was pretty much stagnant until the fifteenth century when Gutenberg developed the printing press and was able to show the world how easy it was to quickly print out a range of images and text with a simple stamp of the press. His printing press was pretty much unchallenged for the next six hundred years until the steam powered printing press would replace the old hand-cranked version. This too became too slow as each letter had to be changed individually in order to correct even the smallest mistake.

In the late 1960’s, the first laser printers were developed and the dot matrix printer was created not long after this. This then gave rise to the cheaper, faster printing methods which almost any business could make use of. In 1993, the first digital printing processes came into existence and the need for printing plates and typesetting became a true relic of the past. Minuteman Press Midrand offers a wide range of services and fully employ the advanced equipment which has been developed over the centuries.
