Amazingly fast print technology could change everything, again

Undertoad · 03-21-2007, 06:24 PM

watch the video and see this new amazingly fast printing technology. Pops off 1 page per SECOND of full color inkjet letter size paper. Whaps out a giant 51" large-format image in seconds.

I want it!

And I hardly ever print stuff out...

The cell phone possibility is interesting.

meh. i'm just not in that big of a hurry to have my print outs. I might decide in favor of a slightly faster printer if the price was comparable, but I care more about quality and ink expense. looks cool flying out of there tho.

It's not just the speed. The print head is as wide as the paper, so there's fewer moving parts to screw up, and no raster lines!

That would really suck if they gouged people on the ink--then who cares if they expect the printers to cost "$200 or less."

Yes ,but there's a zillion teeny tiny holes to get plugged.

Commandeering a laser printer will always be my favorite option. Except for color, that one looks very nice for color. Maybe the nozzles (holes?) will be self-cleaning.
