The Disruptive Printer: $200 and a Page a Second
It's crazy that this news got so little -- like, almost none! -- attention in the U.S. media.
At the end of March, an Australian R&D lab, Silverbrook Research, unveiled a new company called Memjet. This company is going to market and license printer technology that Silverbrook has been working on in secret for a decade. And if it works as advertised, Memjet printing will blow ink-jet printing out of the water.
Just look at the video of a Memjet demo. Not only that, the company says the technology will be cheap -- a couple hundred dollars for a printer that can do 60 pages a minute, and you'll pay less for ink than you do today.
I ran across this because I was doing some research on Kia Silverbrook, the founder of Silverbrook Research, and one of the top patent-holders in the world. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known. The Memjet news has been absent from mainstream U.S. media.
Anyone else heard much about this technology?
