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*

    So much for the "paperless office" of the future. Maybe we should declare trees to be endangered species. ;)

  3. Not 330 PPM by GabrielF · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If you look at the IBM website it claims 330 linear feet per minute, not 330 ppm. If a page is 11" long than that would be about 360 pages per minute.

    There it says it can print 330 linear feet per minute - that's more than a thousand pages.

    If it's so secret, then how come I've never heard of it?

    Sorry, but when you mention a Russian in the article, what do you expect?
