Pauline Gindlesperger Retires After 77 Years in the Print Industry

A true revolution for the print industry occurred with the introduction of the photocopier by Xerox in 1959, Pauline Gindlesperger said. About 15 years later, in 1975, IBM came out with the first high-speed laser printer, the Model 3800, for the business market, and, she said this had a real impact on small jobs that otherwise would have come to a professional printer. The first mass-market household model photocopier was the HP LaserJet, which was released in 1984, and that too cut into work that would have been brought to a print shop.
