Super Fast Printing

I’ve always wanted a printer which spits paper out faster that I can think, soon I could have a product right in my office which prints at 2 pages per second.

Silverbrook Research claims they have found a way for their “memjet” inkjet to print up to 2 pages per second .

Silverbrook Research, an Australian company that has over 1,400 patents to its name, is claiming that it is finally ready to reveal its “Memjet” inkjet printer technology after ten years of research. The technology - which supposedly uses a printhead that spans the width of an A4 page—will be detailed in a paper by a marketing research firm later next week, but get this: it’ll cost you $2,995 to access it.

I wouldn’t be willing to pay $300 for a printer, however it’s great to see these advances and leaps in current technology. Hopefully in 5 years time a similar printer will be affordable, and my wishes of printing at 2 pages per second (affordably) will be granted.
