For information distribution we require multiple copies of various letters and document which can be handed over,personally or mailed to the concerned persons. A variety of office machines and equipment's are now available for preparing documents and making multiple copies. In this unit we will cover the following: i) various kinds of typewriters and their uses, ii) various reprographic processes for information distribution. Objectives After studying this unit you should be able to: list various types of reprographic methods, describe uses of various kinds of typewriters, explain duplicating and copying processes and describe materials and machines required for the purpose, compare the advantages and disadvantages of spirit, stencil and litho duplication, and describe the uses of microfiche and facsimile. 10.2 INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION The organization and management of any institution, be it an isolated lab or a large site with many labs, requires that information is managed. Methods of managing information - selecting it and distributing it to the right people - are the subject of separate study, usually under the heading of 'Information Technology'. Here we will restrict ourselves to information distribution. Laboratory In unit 9 we discussed some of the most efficient ways of managing Organisation and information with the use of computers.

  • Graphic Printing Production and Digital Printing
    Eight steps in Graphic Printing Production Graphic print Production Graphic printing is related with the Print production services, sourcing print, providing a competitive quotation, lithographic and digital printing according to requirement, sourcing services and so much more. Every company in printing, provide a complete solution. There are different phases and steps involved in graphic print production usually these are four phases and eight steps involve in printing production. Four main phases involved in Graphic Printing Production 1. Concept visualization 2. Creative Production (Design phase) 3. Industrial Production 4. Logistics The first phase consists of further two working steps which are Strategic Work and Creative Work, and the end result of this phase is the finalization of the idea and approved sketches of graphical design. In the second phase which consistes Image and Text step and Layout step. The design is designed using some software and it takes a real form than sketch and after this phase the design can be used for printing. In the third phase the developed design is taken and put to final product. This phase consists of Prepress, Printing, Finishing and Binding steps. The last phase of the process is distribution of the finished printed product. Eight steps involve in printing production 1. Strategic Work 2. Creative Work 3. Image and text 4. Layout 5. Prepress 6.

    Spirit duplicator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 3 Spirit duplicator From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A spirit duplicator (also referred to as a Ditto machine in the United States or Banda machine in the United Kingdom) was a low-volume printing method used mainly by schools and churches. Sheets printed on such a machine were sometimes called ditto sheets, or just dittos in the U.S. (an example of a genericized trademark). The term "spirit duplicator" refers to the alcohols which were a major component of the solvents used as "inks" in these machines. They are sometimes confused with the mimeograph, which is actually a different technology. A spirit duplicator. Contents 1 History 2 Operation 2.1 Colors 2.2 Paper 3 Smell 4 See also 5 Further reading 6 External links History The spirit duplicator was invented in 1923 by Wilhelm Ritzerfeld. The best-known manufacturer in the United States was Ditto Corporation of Illinois, while copiers available in the United Kingdom were commonly manufactured by the Block & Anderson company, under their "Banda" brand. In both cases the trademark became a generic name for both the copiers and the process in their respective markets. The thermofax machine was introduced by 3M in the late 1960s and could make a spirit master from an ordinary typewritten or handwritten sheet. The resulting print quality was very poor but the A gelatine duplicator. machines were popular because of their convenience. Spirit duplicator technology gradually fell into disuse starting in the 1970s after the availability of low- cost, high-volume xerographic copiers; by the mid 1990s, the use of the technology was rare.
