Daisy wheel printing

Daisy wheel printing is a way to print words and pictures on paper. It uses a special wheel called a daisy wheel that looks like a flower. Each petal of the flower has a letter or symbol on it. When you want to print something, you tell the machine what you want to say, and the daisy wheel turns to the right letter or symbol and then presses it onto the paper.

Think of it like a big stamp that can say anything you want! Imagine having a flower with all the letters and symbols you need to create a word or sentence. You would just turn the flower to the right letter or symbol, press it onto the paper, and move on to the next one until you’ve completed your message.

Daisy wheel printing was popular back in the day when computers were not as common as they are today. It was slower and not as convenient as the printers we have now, but it was a useful tool for many people. Nowadays, it is mostly used in specialized equipment like embossers or Braille printers.
