What is a high-speed inkjet printer?

The term ‘high-speed’ inkjet printer is often listed as a desirable quality in Mailing, High Volume Printing, Direct Mail, Transactional Printing, Book Printing, Transpromotional Printing (Transpromo) and Commercial Print (P4P). But what exactly does it mean for an inkjet printer to be high-speed?

Quite simply, a high-speed inkjet printer is a printing device which produces documents at a high volume per unit time.

Printers capable of producing more than 90 A4 pages per minute are considered to be high-speed. This would equate to 1.5 (or more) A4 pages per second, demonstrating the efficiency required for a printer to gain this label. In fact, all RISO printers are classed as high-speed ranging from the FT5000 at 100 pages per minute to the VALEZUS T2200, being capable of producing up to 330 A4 pages per minute meaning that it brings a new, express definition to the term high-speed inkjet printing.
