Daisy wheel printing
Daisy wheel printing
is an
impact printing
technology invented in 1969 by
David S. Lee
at
Diablo Data Systems
. It uses interchangeable pre-formed type elements, each with typically 96
glyphs
, to generate high-quality output comparable to premium
typewriters
such as the
IBM Selectric
, but two to three times faster. Daisy wheel printing was used in
electronic typewriters
,
word processors
and
computers
from 1972. The daisy wheel is considered to be so named because of its resemblance to the
daisy flower
.
