Printer versus race car?

Printing manufacturer Epson bolted an inkjet printer in an Ariel Atom to see if it could print a racetrack via Wi-Fi faster than a car could complete a circuit.

Espon, who used its inkjet printers earlier this year to create a papercraft NSX, had its printer riding shotgun in the Ariel Atom at the Rockingham Motor Speedway.

With a top speed of 230km/h, the Ariel Atom was no match for the high-speed printer which completed printing in 01:29, while the supercar lapped the track in 01:24.
