Each year HP invests more than $1 Billion dollars in research and development on imaging and printing and holds more than 4,000 patents in this area. One of the most recent products of this investment is something HP is calling Edgeline Technology. Here’s what we known so far.

Edgeline Technology is designed with print heads that span the width of a page. This allows the printer to distribute ink across the page rapidly and precisely in just one pass. Or simply put, the printer cartridge no longer has to move. Now only the paper will move.

It should be noted that Edgeline Technology is being designed for high volume color printing. It does not a technology you should be expecting to see in your home printer any time soon.
