Datametrics Is Hoping to Launch High-Speed Printer

Chatsworth-based Datametrics Corp., formerly a supplier of computer peripherals and communications products to the defense industry, hopes to tap the burgeoning office-network market with its new, high-speed color printer.

Datametrics’ President Sidney Wing said the company is seeking one or more partners to help launch the printer that prints a page in three seconds, compared with the two to three minutes it takes existing printers. Datametrics said it would also target the short-run production printing markets.

“We’re discussing strategic alliances with larger firms in the area of distribution and manufacturing,” Wing said.

Wing added that he expects to reach a partnership agreement by the end of the year. Datametrics hopes to begin making so-called “engines” for the high-speed color printers as early as next year.
