Berto Searches for the Fastest Copier

Finding the fastest printers is essential when you need to print many pages quickly or get that report out before a rapidly approaching deadline. However, the search for the fastest copier or printer is not just a modern-day event.

Time has always been of the essence, and many businesses today consider it important to invest in devices designed to quickly print a large number of pages without compromising on resolution and print quality. TechRadar has a list of the fastest printers in 2024.

In medieval times, finding a good, quick and accurate copier was crucial for the preservation and dissemination of knowledge. So, Berto has had some fun with this one this month…

In Medieval Times

With the absence of printing technology, manuscripts were painstakingly copied by hand, often by scribes in monasteries. A skilled and efficient copier was highly valued, as they played a vital role in replicating religious texts, legal documents, and scholarly works.

The speed and accuracy of a scribe could make the difference between the survival of important knowledge and its potential loss. The process was time-consuming, often taking weeks or even months to complete a single volume. A scribe’s skill in quickly and accurately copying texts ensured that knowledge could be shared across kingdoms and generations.

Laser vs Inkjet for Speed

The best laser printers are usually much faster than the best inkjet printers. That’s because instead of using liquid ink—a laborious process—they use powdered toner that’s transferred to the paper using heat.

Make printing faster today

Printing in black and white, one-sided is usually the fastest way to print. If text quality isn’t important you can also usually choose ‘draft’ settings in your print console. Paper size is be a factor – the larger the surface area, the more time it will take to print.

What’s the fastest printer in the world?

The Epson WorkForce Enterprise WF-C20590 Multifunction Network Printer can print out pages both in monochrome and color at up to 100 ppm. An enterprise-grade machine, prices start at around $13,000. While they can’t quite compete with those speeds, the best HP printers generally excel in most areas all-round.
