A card printer is an electronic desktop printer with single card feeders that print and personalize plastic cards. In this respect, they differ from, for example, label printers, which have a continuous supply feed. Card dimensions are usually 85.60 × 53.98 mm, standardized under ISO/IEC 7810 as ID-1.
A 10 × 10-pixel computer display image usually requires many more than 10 × 10 printer dots to reproduce it accurately, due to the limited colours of ink available from the printer; here, a 60 × 60 grid is used, providing 36 times the original density, compensating for the printer's fewer colours.
In computer networking, a print server, or printer server, is a type of server that connects printers to client computers over a network. [1] It accepts print jobs from the computers and sends the jobs to the appropriate printers, queuing the jobs locally to accommodate the fact that work may arrive more quickly than the printer can actually handle.
In the US, size names are often denoted with a code of the format nR, where the number n represents the length of the shorter edge in inches. In the normal series, the long edge is the length of the short edge plus 2 inches (10 in or less) or 3 inches (11 in and above).
In June 1978, the TX-80 (TP-80), an eighty-column dot matrix printer, was released to the market and was mainly used as a system printer for the Commodore PET computer. After two years of further development, an improved model, the MX-80 (MP-80), was launched in October 1980. [ 8 ]

Again, a selection of different bands are generally available with a different ...
Thermal-transfer printing is done by melting wax within the print heads of a specialized printer. The thermal-transfer print process utilises three main components: a non-movable print head, a carbon ribbon (the ink) and a substrate to be printed, which would typically be paper, synthetics, card or textile materials.
