LG lays claim to 'world's fastest printer' June 30, 2011 11:03 by Chris Rails

The specification of the new LG Machjet LPP6010N printer has been released, which the company claims is its fastest model to-date.

Not only that, LG believes that the desktop printer is the most efficient in the world, capable of printing 60 pages per minute at a resolution of 1600x300 DPI.

Memjet has provided the technology for the device, which means the inkjet cartridges contain in excess of 70,000 ink nozzles, which is around 17 times more than normal printers.

Len Lauer, president and chief executive officer of Memjet, commented: "Combining Memjet's core technology benefits with LG's brand, corporate capabilities and vast distribution network, LG is creating exciting new value for Korean customers looking to be more efficient and cost effective in their office printing."

LG has laid claim to a number of technology debuts this year, as it unveiled the world's first dual-core smartphone, the LG Optimus 2X.
