CREDENTIALED READERS AGREE - DON'T MISS THIS BOOK "I read it all, cover to cover. Terrific!. Very thorough, so well done." -Bob Howard, founder of Centronics, Presstek, and other pioneering graphics-related companies. "It really does look first, first rate! Very, very professional, and congratulations on what obviously was a labor of love." -Peter Oresick, Graphic Arts Technical Foundation "I appreciate how well you presented my thoughts and those of Dick Hackborn. You did a great job of accurately capturing the history and major driving forces. . . I'm extremely pleased with the way it came out." -Jim Hall, Hewlett-Packard (key player, HP LaserJet Program) "If all Print Unchained did was tell history, it would be a fine book. In addition, though, industry veteran Ted Webster makes sure readers learn valuable lessons from the inside stories about the landmark printers that shaped the industry." -Mike Zeis, in a review published in Color Business Report. "Print Unchained is one of those very nice writes that is not only fun to read but evokes envy in a fellow writer and editor." -Gregory Sharpless, Editor-in-Chief, Digital Output Magazine Then The Xeronic Printer, a bold but unsuccessful leap into non-impact page printing in 1958 by Rank Xerox.
