Cool spread of technology - from 1880 to 1976

From Xavier Antin comes this story of printing a book with four different printers. The Magenta is laid down by a Stencil Duplicator from 1880. Cyan, a Spirit Duplicator from 1923 (I still fondly remember that wonderful smell of a fresh print). Black - Laser Printer from 1969. Yellow - InkJet printer from 1976. The printing chain:
