A company that has spent the last thirteen years researching inkjet printing technologies (yet never released a product) claims they have developed a technology which will allow desktop printers to print at ridiculously fast speeds.
Australia’s Silverbrook Research has circulated a video of the prototype device in action, churning out pages at an astounding thirty pages per minute in full color, sixty pages in black and white:

The printer has a target retail price of $150 and a cost per print of $0.02 to $0.06 which would be substantially less than today’s inkjet printers.

whoa! are we kidding? Is that video real?
That’s the $64,000 question. Some think it’s fake, but the head of Silverbrook used to work for Canon, so it’s likely to be true. They’re supposed to update their website on March 21 with some new content, so maybe we’ll learn more then.
