August 21st is Senior Citizens Day and with that, we\u00a0want to celebrate the accomplishments of those who have come before us in the digital and printing world. SpeedPro East Bay prides itself on its state-of-the-art printing technology-but where would we be without the people who invented and pioneered this technology? Here are three inventors who were instrumental in engineering the printing technologies of today.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gary Starkweather<\/b><\/p>\n

Laser printing, which uses a laser beam to transfer an image onto paper, is ubiquitous nowadays in the form of laser printers.\u00a0 Gary Starkweather invented the laser printer in 1971 while working with Xerox PARC\u00a0going against corporate officials who deemed laser printing technology as too expensive and ineffective.\u00a0 He is now 80 years old living in California and still continues his love of technology working for Apple.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benny Landa<\/b><\/p>\n

Another popular form of printing, digital printing, is featured heavily in inkjet printers today. Its inventor, Benny Landa founded Indigo Digital Press in 1977 which is credited for inventing the digital printing process, and many hail Landa as the \u201cfather of commercial digital printing\u201d.\u00a0 He did this by taking his previous discovery in black and white imaging and took small color particles and an electric charge to form a thin, smooth, plastic layer on paper.\u00a0 This enabled the high-speed production of high-quality color images which then led to the first discovery of the digital offset printing press.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jack S. Kilby<\/b><\/p>\n

Thermal printing, which uses heat to integrate ink solids into a surface, is a form of printing used in several industries including geo-engineering and seafloor exploration, due to its portability.\u00a0 Jack S. Kilby was the early inventor of this when he came up with the idea that an entire circuit could be constructed from a single piece of silicon with no connections by employing different doping levels.\u00a0 \u00a0He designed, molded, and tested the first integrated circuit, and had a full working sample.\u00a0 This experience with circuity led to his invention of the thermal printer.\u00a0 In 2000 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research in integrated circuits and he later died in 2005 at the age of 81.<\/span><\/p>\n
