These printers were once at the top of their category and are now a part of business printing history.
CONTINUOUS-FORM LASER PRINTERS
Those medium-speed printers were smaller than the super-high-speed giants from IBM/Ricoh, Oce, Xerox, and Nipson.
Printronix altogether quit the laser marketplace; Microplex killed some models, replacing some and offering no answer for others.
Both sold popular 24 ppm and 32 ppm hot roller fusion CF models from the OEM Pentax.
Oce’ has sold some not-huge units from time to time.
IBM INFOPRINT
Well, they quit printers altogether — or rather, Ricoh killed the IBM legacy of printer sales.
- IBM line printers like the 6262 and 6400;
- IBM serial tabletop dot matrix like the 4247;
- IBM cut sheet lasers like the InfoPrint 2210, Pro 1107P and 1357P
GENICOM LINE PRINTERS AND SERIAL TABLETOP PRINTERS
Once upon a time, GE made great printers and spun off a tough printer vendor. The last new GENICOM sold was in 2003, and Tally and GENICOM merged.
Resellers sold TallyGenicom printers until the company’s bankruptcy in 2009.
Printronix acquired the US assets and sold a TallyGenicom version of their popular line printer.
Printronix retired the TallyGenicom name and included the full TG emulation within standard Printronix line printers.
