In the development of hardware equipment in the past few decades, the birth of printers is a technical process that cannot be ignored. Presenting data information in paper form in front of users is the main contribution of printers to visualize data information. Later, with the development of information technology and the industrial revolution, there was an increasingly obvious demand for printer function expansion to migrate to other fields, such as today's 3D printing and cloud printing. In the future, Internet-based printing will also be in the future Meet us long ago.

        In the process of printer development and change, market demand and technological changes are the main factors driving the overall change of printers.

Multiple Printing: Alienated Requirements

        The significance of printers for ordinary users is to visualize data. However, apart from the mass market, printers also have extraordinary significance for other fields, such as engineering printing in the construction industry, and binding printing in the advertising industry, etc. These methods are common printing needs in daily life. Under such demand conditions, during the past ten years of changes in printers, only changes in printing speed and methods have been realized, but no fundamental changes have taken place.

        But the emergence of the Internet has brought a new revolution to printers.

        Google took the lead in establishing the concept of cloud printing in the industry, and Microsoft also built a network printing function in its own operating system. Today, after more and more hardware devices are connected to the Internet, the Internet of Things ecology also has a printing function. . As a result of this trend and technological development, it is possible that future products such as automobiles and rice cookers will have printing functions, so that user data, information, and other materials can be presented in front of users in the form of physical existence.

        Judging from the current situation, this development trend has become a trend due to the combination of technology and the Internet, but no matter how this development trend is carried out, it is still a development direction centered on market demand and user orientation in the final analysis. In fact, this trend has been confirmed in the next direction of personalized printing.

Personalized Printing: Future Trends

       Recently, HP released a new generation of printer products. The biggest feature of this product is the scene printing demand. For example, in terms of network support, the user's home data can be transmitted through the network to realize company printing, or after the user transfers the print file to the printer through the NFC function of the mobile phone, the printer can print the file for the user. Although these methods have been heard before, it is an industry precedent to truly integrate them.

       This kind of user-centered high-demand printing may represent the development direction of future printers.

       Another manifestation of this personalized printing demand is the portable WeChat printer. In the current market, many manufacturers have launched WeChat printers one after another. After ordinary users send photos taken by mobile phones to WeChat printers through WeChat, the printers can print out the user's images. Compared with traditional methods, the greatest value of this type of printer lies in its portability and use, and it can also maximize the needs of a small number of niche user groups.

       These printing cases are the current market development trend. It is expected that with the deepening of the mobile Internet, more personalized printing will be born in the future. Judging from the current market situation, this may mean that the printer market will also Usher in a new revolution.

Printer Revolution: Experience First

       In the development process of printers, it is believed that the only hope of most users for printers is a better printing experience. This demand, as the core demand leading the development of printers, will continue to be the main theme that determines the development of the printer market in the future.

       This requires current and future printers not only to continue to delay the current printing experience in terms of printing functions, but also to have more in-depth development and progress in the future. For example, today's printers have realized network printing, cloud printing and personalized printing, so is it possible for future printers to realize sensory printing? With the rapid development of technology, this idea may become possible in the future.

       Judging from the current market situation, the current status of printers has opened up a new world for the era we live in. Under the guidance of this trend, future printers may undergo more significant changes, and may also be ours. As expected.
