Xerox Printer that doesn’t use Ink?

April 19th, 2007

Etch a Sketch

Technology really does move on quickly. Do you remember the etch a sketch?

The picture taken here, just prior to the class swot being knocked and erasing his many patient hours of work re-creating Einstein’s image.

Xerox has invented a similar technology with paper – their printer (not in production yet) can re-use paper many times over without the need for ink or toner! More details here.

We think this could be a great way for the future office to work – imagine how many forests would be saved.

Lexmark No 2 or 18C0190 Cartridge – x2480 – Dixons group

March 18th, 2007

This cartridge fits the x2480 and x3480 inkjet printers. These Lexmark printers only use this one tri-colour cartridge – so when you print black text it mixes all three colours to produce black.

Be careful when choosing one of these printers if you are going to use it for lots of text…. as it may work out expensive in the long run.

The other problem with this inkjet printer is that Lexmark have made a deal with DSG group of companies – which include Dixons, Curries, PC world etc – that only they can be supplied with these cartridges.

Our wholesaler’s can’t supply us at this time because of this exclusive deal between DSG and Lexmark.

Many people have been caught out in the past with cheap or even free printers that cost a fortune to run over time… once bitten twice shy

 

Kodak entering the competitive Inkjet Printer Market

March 15th, 2007

Kodak recently announced that it is going to go head to head with the Inkjet ‘big boys’ in the home and small business inkjet printer market.

They are promising that the cost of printing with their new range of printers (going to be released sometime in May 2007) will be 50% less than the current market leaders HP.

It will be interesting to see how their battle to gain a foothold in such a competitive market place will pan out. But, I have always suggested that a company should try to reverse the printer strategy (sell printer hardware below cost – charge customer as they use it with way too expensive replacement ink cartridges).
