Abstract
Until such time — if ever — that the concept of the ‘paperless’ office is accepted in its broadest sense, the conversion of text into hard copy will remain an important aspect of word processing. A transient image on a screen may be all very well for quick reference, but the average businessman prefers his documents in a more tangible form that he can read, annotate and digest in his own good time. It is probably true to say also that, of all the developments affecting the electronic office concept, those in the field of printing and storage are likely to have the greatest impact.
