Two million pages per
minute
The latest figures from IDC report that the number
of pages printed in the EMEA region on mono
laser devices with speeds under 70ppm, colour
laser devices under 45ppm and personal through
workgroup inkjets declined by 1% in 2011, down to
3.09 trillion pages from 3.12 trillion pages in 2010.
The analyst company said that the figures accounted for
two million pages printed every minute.
“In total, over two million pages were printed in EMEA
every minute. If we wanted to transport the pages printed in
EMEA last year, almost 200,000 fully loaded 28-ton trucks
would be needed,” said Research Director Ilona Stankeova,
Imaging & Hardcopy Devices Research and Document
Solutions, IDC CEMA.
