How fast do you need your printer to be? 30 pages a minute seems pretty reasonable to me, putting out a page every couple of seconds. But what if you’re printing enough to be producing 19th-century Russian novels, and you just don’t want to wait? Well, Kyocera hears you, and its looking to help.

Kyocera managed to create a new KJ4 series print head able to print 150 meters per minute at a 600 X 600 dpi resolution. That means 1000 pages per minute! If we do some more math, we realize that is more than 16.5 A4 sheets per second. Yes, you have every right to be amazed.

The print head uses Kyocera’s ceramic piezoelectronics technology to pump much more ink to the pages than a regular printer. Furthermore, they announced that the printer using this insanely fast print head will be available in shops starting next month.

If you are tired of bothering your eyes by reading piles of e-books or have an e-storage company and need huge amounts of informations printed every day for your clients, this is what you need. It can print out an entire small-size library in about one hour, if you think about it.
