Printers:

Digital data can be produced on paper using virtually any one of
the various types of printer devices, including dot matrix, ink
jet, thermal, and laser printers.  The production of color prints
implies a substantial investment in order to achieve the quality
of resolution attainable in relatively low cost black and white
systems.  The least expensive color technology is the thermal
type, though the end product, while having the aesthetic appeal
of a pointillist painting, may be of limited utility if high
image resolution and accurate edge definition is required.  As in
other computer related fields, color printing technologies are
advancing rapidly.  The quality of color output will continue to
improve dramatically even as the cost of the technology drops.
