IBM wants to maintain its leading position on the high speed printer market, which was estimated last year at $6.1 billion. And what a better way to do this, than to produce new high-end models?

So, the IBM specialists have announced that the new Infoprint 4100 printer could easily enter the Guinness Book, the device having a speed of 330 pages per minute.

If that figure doesn't seem amazing, then you should compare it to the number of pages which can be printed by a regular laser printer: 22 pages.

Infoprint 4100, according to IBM's statements, can print Tolstoi's War and Peace in less than a minute. There are only a few models faster than this, but none of them from the laser class.

But performance has its price, Info Print 4100 not being accessible to many. The basic version of the printer costs $500,000 and the spearhead of the series costs $1 million. Such a monster measures 2.6 meters in length, 1.5 meters in height and 0.9 meters in thickness.
