Xerox
Xerox Corporationis an American global corporation that sells print and digital document products and services in more than 160 countries. Xerox is headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut (having moved from Stamford, Connecticut in October 2007), though its largest population of employees is based around Rochester, New York, the area in which the company was founded. The company purchased Affiliated Computer Services for $6.4 billion in early 2010. As a large developed company, it is consistently placed in the list of Fortune 500 companies.
Researchers at Xerox and its Palo Alto Research Center invented several important elements of personal computing, such as the desktop metaphor GUI, the computer mouse and desktop computing. These concepts were frowned upon by the then board of directors, who ordered the Xerox engineers to share them with Apple technicians. The concepts were adopted by Apple and later Microsoft. With the help of these innovations, Apple and Microsoft came to dominate the personal computing revolution of the 1980s, whereas Xerox was not a major player.
The laser printer was invented in 1969 by Xerox researcher Gary Starkweather by modifying a Xerox 7000 copier. Xerox management was afraid the product version of Starkweather's invention, which became the 9700, would negatively impact their copier business so the innovation sat in limbo until IBM launched the 3800 laser printer in 1976.

Every print device will fall into one of two categories: inkjet or laser. These two types of devices operate in very different ways.
Here are three reasons why an inkjet printer is a great choice over a laser printer.
- The Need to Print a Lot of Photos and Images
- Versatile Printing Medium
- Lower Entry Costs
While laser and inkjet printers have pros and cons, for low volume printing, an inkjet printer is a great choice. They offer many benefits for personal or at-home use, and inkjet printers tend to be smaller and lighter than laser print devices. This makes them an excellent choice if space is at a premium.
Here are our top three reasons why a laser printer wins over an inkjet printer.
- Speed of Output
- Volume
- Per Page Costs
It really comes down to your buyer's specific needs. For an office that creates a large volume of printed documents or a home user that produces a large number of text documents, a laser printer is the most economical choice over the long term.
All-In-One Printers
All-In-One printers, also known as multifunction printers, offer several capabilities to streamline your work at home, office or school. With just one machine, you can print, copy, scan and fax at the touch of a button.
Save space and drive productivity with the features you need most - when you need them.
Laser Printers
Laser printers offer speed and run quietly in the background, using toner, rather than ink. Choose a laser printer for the best cost per page (CPP) as well as the most crips fonts and typically fastest speed. While toner may cost more than ink, over time the cost of laser printing per page is reduced given the durability and longevity of toner as compared to ink. Available in black and white or color, Laser Printers can help you make a great impression.
Inkjet Printers
Inkjet printers offer versatility, low cost and are often smaller in size than Laser Printers. Ink cartridges generally need to be replaced more often than toner cartridges. Given the ongoing advances in technology, an ink jet printer helps you create images with better quality than ever before. Great for photos and image-heavy documents, ink jets can print onto a variety of paper types, including glossy photo paper and textured stock.
3D Printers
3D printers support the design and development of products while you move from initial concept to full prototype and beyond. Print like you've never done before, and at a fraction of the cost of developing a full product before it goes to market.
While 3D printing isn't new, the technology has vastly improved and expanded to include all types of manufacturing activities as well as an increasing number of 3D printable materials. Imagine the possibilities.
Thermal Printers
A Thermal or Label printer, also known as a thermal transfer printer, uses heat to transfer an impression onto paper. This technology is used in a wide variety of industries and works well for printing receipts, prescriptions, airline tickets, medical files and more. The coated thermal paper protects your documents from spills and other damage.
