Modern Printing Technology

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Printing has been long present but the means and media used have greatly evolved ever since. In the old times, woodblock printing is the popular method of printing on different media such as cloth and paper. Three different methods can be done through woodblock printing and these are stamping, rubbing, and printing in a press. Depending on the media used and the quantity of materials to be printed with, one of three processes can be used in woodblock printing. After many years had gone by, woodblock printing has been completely replaced by modern-day printing with different printers being developed and matching HP toner cartridges that work along with them.

Modern printing technology has replaced the ancient stamping, rubbing, and printing in a press with laser printing, inkjet printing, and bubblejet printing. More high-end printers are being developed such that they have the capability to automatically bind printed materials altogether by means of stitching, gluing, or fastening using a stapler. Other printers even have the capacity to print massive copies of information without having to watch over it while it does the printing.

Printing through the network is also possible nowadays, where the person printing the information can be in the next room or next floor where the printer is located. Print jobs are just sent and queued in the network for printing. Then, the user just needs to allow the printing process to occur by going to the printer and keying in some personal information such as a password and the printing of the documents commences.

Since printing nowadays can be through the wire, it has become a need to create a way to secure the information sent out in the network. And this has been achieved by embedding encryption capabilities between the computer and the printer such that if information is tried to be captured when it is on the wire, it cannot be read properly thus no significant information leak occurs.

AMD celebrates 40 years

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Advanced Micro Devices is about to celebrate its 40th anniversary. It was founded in May 1, 1969 by several former executives of Fairchild Semiconductor and began as a manufacturer of logic chips before venturing into the RAM chip and microprocessor business.

Over the years, AMD has been Intel’s primary competitor in the microprocessor business, although Intel has really dominated the field in recent history. In spite of Intel’s current dominance, AMD still continues to manufacture and develop new chips for tomorrow’s computers.

AMD actually beat Intel in the race for MHz clock speeds, but Intel soon overtook that and eventually left AMD’s processors chips behind in terms of performance.

AMD also considered energy-efficiency in processor design before Intel did, but again, Intel eventually gained the upper hand.

Currently, AMD is also the third-largest supplier of graphics chips behind Nvidia and (again) Intel.
If there is one thing that AMD always had going for them, it is the fact that their processors are cheaper than the established competition. Of course, you can’t keep on selling chips mainly by touting the cheaper price so performance has to pick up if AMD wants to stay in the game. Here’s to hoping for 40 more years of innovation for the world’s other chipmaker. We don’t want an Intel monopoly after all…
