That is amazing. Also, thats 60 A4 pages per minute, not the shorter US standard 8.5 x 11, probably even faster for the shorter paper.

I hope this IS for real and not another "its coming soon" and then they can the whole project before it ever gets to market!

I wonder how the quality of the print is with it printing that fast?
And stacking the prints like that while the ink is still wet? Wouldn't the ink smear all over the back of the pages?
It is cool though, but for that price I wonder if it is a technical breakthrough or a sacrifice of speed over quality.

the quality is superb..ive been reading about this for some time and this guy silverbrook is an absoloute genius--i also believe he's letting the patents open so that epson , xerox etc can produce them..he's an inventer..not a producer--the thinks works with a c-prom like printhead that is made much like a long cpu chip--from what ive read instead of IC connections you have over 70,000 controllable printheads--one reason the quality is so good is that the paper moves under the printhead which stays stable..far fewer moving parts than ink-jets--i thought the original price would make it a delorean but at $150-200 it seems like a functional thing--i'll buy one

If it can produce better, long-lasting pictures than my Epson Stylus Photo R1800, I'll buy one and sell my Epson before it becomes a dinosaur. A printer based on this technology would save me plenty of money if the final product lives up to both speed and quality issues.
