Canon has released some new extremely expensive imageRUNNER laser printers. So for you those of you out there looking for a $20,000 laser printer, this post is for you.

The new models that they announced are the imageRUNNER 5075, 5065 and the 5055. These things are pretty dang fast - they print up to 75 ppm, 65 ppm and 55 ppm, respectively. All three models have 1 gig of RAM and a 40GB hard drive, which is some pretty serious hardware. By comparison, a standard HP LaserJet printer has 16 megs of memory. These printers also have a bunch of paper options, including an add-on tray that can increase the capacity to over 7600 sheets. In case you hadn’t guessed by now, these printers are exactly made for the home user. They are designed for big business where a ton of people do a ton of printing. Lately, Canon has basically given up on the personal laser printer market and has decided to focus on their business products, since they can make a lot more money off them. Not only do they have higher price tags, but there are the inevitable fees Canon will make off of sending out their techs to repair these printers.

Now for the price: $28,000 for the 5075, $21,500 for the 5065 and $17,000 for the 5055.
