Inkjet versus Laser
In a continuing battle between Inkjet and Laser(s) HP has introduced a new line (Edgeline) of office printers that appear to be able to take on the Laser printer market. HP new series uses an inkjet print head (fixed) that spans the entire width of the printer(s) paper page. This means there is no longer a moving printer head, and only the paper moves.
Breaking with Tradition
HP has traditionally sold inkjet printers using removeable head technology, where the user would discard the head assembly after each cartridge was used. Now, this new technology uses an embedded print head (Non User replaceable) and only ink needs to be purchased to keep this printer going.
How fast is fast ?

How about 71 pages per minute ? Yes that’s right.. 71
Very quickly inkjet is taking over as the top dog in print speeds versus traditional laser printers, and no more messy toner drums to change. The only advantage that lasers had over inkjets in the past was that their toner adhered to the paper and was not water soluble. With the recent introduction of water resistant inkjet(s) their advantages will soon be overtaken by this new breed of inkjet printer.
