Printronix P8220 / Printronix P8C20: Heart of a Ferrari, body of the old M1 Abrams Tank

Printronix P8220 or Printronix P8C20 Cabinet Model Line Printer
2000 lines per minute, and stylish too!

The Printronix P8220 is the fastest line printer in the new Printronix P8000 family. Built into a sound-suppressed (55 dBA) quiet cabinet style for high speed and quiet operations, this printer is the most popular model for those companies with serious amounts of mission-critical printing. 

This printer is able to process a box of single part paper in around 30 minutes - or less.  When the P8220 looks ahead and senses a bunch of space with no print required, it leaps to the next line to print. This ability to jump is called a paper feed or "slew", and the paper goes by at up to 39 inches per second! If the customer output has few lines of print, it will 'flat chew through' a box of paper in a few minutes. Here's an example: some toxicology firms print multi-part forms for remote lab use. They print the individual lab and doctor names on blank forms, ship them to the labs and they are completed on lab systems or via ballpoint pen.  These forms may have only six to ten lines of print on a page that could fit 66 lines of print.  A form like this can fly through a Printronix P8C20 / Printronix P8220 in just a handful of minutes.
