World's Fastest Color Printer

60 Pages Per Minute

— March 21, 2007 — Tech
Stop waiting! An Australian company "The SilverBrook Research" has revealed the extremely high speed printer with "Memjet technology" that has researched for 10 years. This technology that analysts beleive the technology will revolutionize the imaging industry.

"This is claimed to be much faster than anything else on the market, with a speed of 2 seconds per page, compared to about one minute per page for existing home photo printers. This has a target retail price of $150, and a cost per print of $0.10 to $0.20. Memjet technology is a patented breakthrough in print engine components that delivers the benefits of ink and laser technologies at radically new price/performance levels. Printheads are comprised of individual microchip segments, joined together into page-width printing systems. Each chip measures just 20mm across and contains 6,400 nozzles. The printheads incorporate five color channels that can be flexibly configured to meet the needs of diverse markets. The driver chip is an integrated printing system that calculates 900 million drops per second and drives 70,400 nozzles in a standard A4/letter printer, delivering color page-width printing at 60 pages per minute."
