The World’s Fastest High Resolution Printer
Kyocera managed to create a new KJ4 series print head able to print 150 meters per minute at a 600 X 600 dpi resolution. That means 1000 pages per minute! If we do some more math, we realize that is more than 16.5 A4 sheets per second. Yes, you have every right to be amazed.
The print head uses Kyocera’s ceramic piezoelectronics technology to pump much more ink to the pages than a regular printer. Furthermore, they announced that the printer using this insanely fast print head will be available in shops starting next month.
If you are tired of bothering your eyes by reading piles of e-books or have an e-storage company and need huge amounts of informations printed every day for your clients, this is what you need. It can print out an entire small-size library in about one hour, if you think about it.

Sixteen and a half A4 pages per second? WTF?!

I think the right question here would be “why”? Why do we need information on unorganizable paper when everything is digitalized… make regularly backups and you’ll save a much more money than time on this thing… also think of the trees, etc.

Come to think of it if it’s really 16 pages/second you might want stand away from it, soon the papers will catch fire.
