[GreenKeys] Terminet 8000 - magnetic printing

[Nick England]

Well, I learned about another strange printer today. Put it in the class
with the Teletype Inktronic (mandatory greenkeys content) as another idea
that never quite made it to the big time.

8000 lines per minute was certainly nothing to sneeze at!
And it was a powerful beast - 398 lbs and ran on 240v @ 20amps

>From a preliminary data sheet -
Fixed write heads produce a magnetic image on a rotating mylar write belt.
This magnetic image is then dry inked by means of a magnetic brushing
technique. The dry ink toner image is transferred directly to plain paper,
thermally fused for permanence, and that's it. The write belt will be
erased and the printing cycle continues.
