Abstract	The magnetic printer is designed to operate in conjunction with an electronic data processing system. It operates on the principle of recording a latent magnetic image on a special paper, which is essentially magnetic tape with a white topcoat. The image is in the form of an alphanumeric (or other) character which is subsequently made visible by exposure to a ferromagnetic powder attracted to the magnetized portions of the paper. The powder is coated with a thermoplastic resin and requires a heating operation to fix it to the paper. An example of the print is illustrated in Fig. 1.
