I just saw online a young Millennial go "Oooo! Dot matrix labels!" Like it was bespoke artisanal letterpress printing done on linen parchment. Or vellum! Like it conjured a misty faraway land lost to time. A forgotten epoch.
And in a way, I guess it is sort of.
I can't describe how old this makes me feel.
I wonder if the Smithsonian has an old dot matrix ribbon cartridge and ink refill kit. Millennials would probably have it located near the copper stone cutting tools.
