New IBM Ultra Fast Printer

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the only-a-half-a-millionbucks dept.

avxo writes "CNN/Money is reporting on a new IBM printer, that can print Tolstoy's "War and Peace" in less than a minute, by delegating pagination to a separate unit." Fully loaded it runs a million bucks. Plus the 330 pages it can print in a single minute is probably triple the pages I printed so far in 2005. I'm probably not the target audience *grin*

    330 pages a minute. Thats 5.5 pages a second. Which is about the same as the frame rate I get on Doom 3 on an iMac G5 on high quality. Still I didn't buy my mac for games... at least thats what I keep telling myself.
