New HP printers pop out photos in 14 seconds flat
According to an article at USAToday, Hewlett-Packard announced a line of very fast photo printers. The new printers can print a 4-by-6-inch photo in 14 seconds, compared with 30 seconds or more for HP’s older printers.
For consumers, that means “instant gratification,” says Vyomesh Joshi, the HP executive in charge of imaging and printing. “Fourteen seconds print time will appeal to a lot of people.”
HP hopes the new printers, which start at $199, will help the company continue to be profitable during a tough period of transition.
HP has struggled to respond. In January, then-CEO Carly Fiorina tried to shore up both the printer and PC divisions by merging them and putting Joshi in charge. But Fiorina was ousted by HP’s board in February. Her replacement, Mark Hurd, quickly separated the divisions again.
