Digital printing is the process of printing digital-based images directly onto a variety of media substrates. There is no need for a printing plate, unlike with offset printing. Digital files such as PDFs or desktop publishing files can be sent directly to the digital printing press to print on paper, photo paper, canvas, fabric, synthetics, cardstock and other substrates. 2, record 1, English, - digital%20printing

The first and perhaps greatest pioneer was the Russian scientist Konstantin Edvardovich Tsiolkovsky. Born in the small Russian village of Izhevskoye in 1857, ... he anchored his stories in the physics and chemistry of his time. In 1883, he wrote "Free Space" in which he describes a propulsion system using the ejection of spherical projectiles - a concept very similar to the concept of the linear mass driver. 2, record 3, English, - linear%20mass%20driver
