HP has unveiled the new HP Officejet Pro X, the world’s fastest desktop printer as recognized by Guinness World Records. The printer uses HP PageWide technology, the company’s next-generation inkjet platform, and can deliver documents at up to 70 pages per minute (ppm).

The company has also launched two new HP Officejet Pro printers, available this spring, the HP Officejet Pro 251dw Printer and HP Officejet Pro 276dw Multifunction Printer (MFP).

The HP Officejet Pro X Series is now shipping worldwide. Single-function models start at $449, and MFPs start at $649. The HP Officejet Pro 251dw Printer and the HP Officejet Pro 276dw MFP will be available worldwide later this spring.

HP launched the HP Deskjet, the world’s first single-sheet inkjet printer in February 1988. Originally priced at $995, the first HP Deskjet featured an average speed of 2 ppm.  HP has shipped nearly 600 million inkjet printers, says the company.
