The Tektronix 4601 is a printer for getting a paper copy of the information on the screen of a storage monitor. It was introduced in 1970.

The 4601 is based on a special CRT (T6110-203, 154-0629-00) that incorporated a ceramic funnel and a fiber optic faceplate to collimate the emitted light. It exposed 3M-made light-sensitive, dry-silver paper paper a line at a time.
