The ImageWriter was a dot matrix printer manufactured by Apple Computer. Originally designed to work with the Apple II and Macintosh computers, it could produce images as well as text, up to a resolution of 144 DPI. The laser printer by Apple is called LaserWriter.

ImageWriter may also means programming semiconductor devices after they are already mounted on a circuit board. The programmer, designed by Data I/O Corporation, has device-specific algorithms for microcontroller or programmable memory devices, and these algorithms are used to serially write a binary image into the programmable array on the device, using serial interfaces such as SPI, I2C, or RS232.
