daisy wheel printing is an impact printing technology
daisy wheel printing is an impact printing technology invented in 1970 by andrew gabor at diablo data systems. it uses interchangeable pre-formed type elements, each with typically 96 glyphs, to generate high-quality output comparable to premium typewriters such as the ibm selectric, but two to three times faster. dais...

thimble printers are closely related to daisy wheel
thimble printers are closely related to daisy wheel printers. instead of a flat wheel, the petals are bent to form a cup-shaped "thimble" print element. introduced by nec in 1977 as their "spinwriter" series, the replaceable thimbles each held 128 characters.
