[...] The Versatec V80 electrostatic printer is
another odd beast -- it
builds up a charge image on special paper and then flows liquid toner
over it (yes, I have one, and not just beacuae it was one printer
supported on the PERQ).
Tektronix also made a very weird printer for its 40x0 graphics
terminals. The paper is silver-coated! For some of these weird
printers, the devices survive but its impossible to find media that
still works. The silver paper has a shelf life that makes me think my
partial roll is useless.
