Print Test: The Whites of their eyes

Posted on September 27th, 2007 in New Models by QuadCore || No Comment

Druckerchannel.de has done a review of the Canon IP3500 and IP4500. The Eye detail
test is pretty amazing. Sadly the review is in German and Google Translate does not seem
to be translating the review. It does have some pictures and some things you can figure out
even if you don’t speak German.

Memjet Customers, Roadmap Start Taking Shape Discussion at PhysOrgForum
PC OEMs and camera makers could be among the customers for Memjet’s revolutionary inkjet printers that were first disclosed last week. Meanwhile, the company has already started talking about taking the Silverbrook technology roadmap to 360 pages per minute in as little as two years’ time.
While Silverbrook’s 60-pages-per-minute printing technology seems revolutionary enough, company executives said they plan to increase its output sixfold in two to three years, to a theoretical output of 360 pages per minute from an ordinary printer.

And who will be making and selling these? OEMs from the personal-computer and consumer-electronics markets, specifically digital camera companies, said executives from Memjet, the company actually selling the Silverbrook-designed components. Memjet executives also said they will welcome the refill industry with open arms, allowing third-party ink suppliers to participate.

Memjet also has set its sights on the commercial printer market, hoping to change newspaper and magazine printing. Future plans include a commercial printer capable of an unheard-of 64,000 pages per minute.

It’s unclear whether Memjet will be able to deliver on their dramatic promises. At the present time, the company has only produced prototype machines that Silverbrook has demonstrated to analysts and customers.
