Way back in 2008 I wrote about Memjet, which promised extremely fast printing solutions. I've been waiting since then to see when this amazingly fast printing would come to market. It seems the time is now, if you live in China, Taiwan, or India. Memjet has announced that Lenovo was partnering with Memjet to do nothing less than dominate the office printer market in China. According to Chen Xudong, VP and GM of Lenovo China Region, "With our focus on innovative products that deliver complete printer hardware and supplies solutions to Chinese consumers and our incorporation of Memjet color printing technologies, we believe Lenovo can become the number-one provider of office printer solutions in China within the next few years."
Meanwhile in Taiwan, Kpowerscience Co., Ltd. announced that it would bring high-speed color printers using Memjet technologies to the Taiwanese market. The company's WinJet printer can print as fast as 60 pages per minute, according to a Memjet press release. Kpowerscience's monochrome laser printers and color inkjet printers will be available in Taiwan, China, Korea, Europe, and the United States.
And Indian company WeP Peripherals Ltd. is collaborating with Memjet to bring the WeP printer to Indian customers.
So just how special is Memjet's technology? Here's the skinny from the company:
Memjet-powered printers provide both color and speed by putting more than 70,000 ink nozzles on a single printhead--17 times that of traditional printheads. The 8.77 inches (222.8mm) printhead spans the width of a page, allowing Memjet-powered printers to deliver more than 700 million drops of ink per second on a page. The Memjet technologies are backed by more than 3,000 global patents, with another 2,000 submitted and pending.
Sounds pretty awesome--can't wait to test-drive one of these high-speed printers!
