Office Photocopiers – 50 Years Young!

1959 the first production office photocopier, the 914, was produced and sold to business throughout the world. With a massive take up of more than 22 million units in the first two years the 914 proved that Chester Carlson’s invention of the electrophotographic process some 22 years previously had started on a course to revolutionise business communications for many years to come.

Early photocopiers did little more than produce simple copies of the originals fed into them, but as the industry flourished more and more innovation led to some excellent advancements in the humble photocopiers abilities.

With time saving features such as automatic double sided printing (duplex), automatic stapling and booklet making as well. As the industry developed the advent of digital technologies moved photocopiers in to a new league offering digital photocopying, printing and scanning in one true multi-functional device.

As digital photocopiers continue to evolve DigiPro look forward to a host of no doubt exciting new features that will continue to offer business benefits from your digital photocopier, scanner, printer or multi-functional product (MFP).

Thanks Mr Carlson and Happy Birthday to the photocopier.
