Publish Electronically

Article Abstract:

Electronic publishing systems, which enable the integrated production of documents on demand from computer workstations, can cut costs and turnaround time by fifty percent and graphics production by eighty percent, claims Robert V. Adams of Xerox Systems Group, El Segundo, California. Electronic publishing uses sophisticated software packages and laser printers to merge information from any number of sources with illustrations, and print in the exact quantity needed. Decreased production time can save millions of dollars a year for large companies.

The new technology involves the ribbon, electronic type fonts, and an electronic printhead. Traditional thermal transfer techniques are used in a new manner. A diagram illustrates how the new technique works.
