lexmarkaio-sbThe way to go when it comes time to buy a printer is an all-in-one. The devices take up less space and can print, copy, scan, and often fax as well. The only real downside is that if your AIO breaks you lose multiple devices rather than one.

Epson announces new printers on the cheap

Posted in Epson by Shane McGlaun on May 20th, 2009

epsonnx515-sbOne of the big problems with printers today isn’t that they print too slowly or that they can’t print images. The big problem is the cost of the printer and ink. Often you can replace your whole printer for the price you pay for new ink cartridges alone. I once owned a printer that cost about $50 to replace the ink tanks.

Epson has announced a new line of all-in-one printers called the NX series that offers nice features at low prices. All of the printers will copy, scan, and print. The line all use Epson DURABrite inks as well. The line includes the NX115, NX215, NX415, and NX515 models.

Xerox launches solid-ink color printer

Posted in Printers by Conner Flynn on May 7th, 2009

Xerox launches solid-ink color printerXerox’s new ColorQube printer promises to revolutionize color-printing using a wax ink. The ink can reduce the cost per page by as much as 62%. This new ink doesn’t sacrifice any printer functions either. Like other multi-function printers, the ColorQube can print, copy, scan and fax and be networked by several people.

So how does it work? The ink is melted and sprayed onto a spinning drum which deposits it on the page. Don’t get too excited. The machine costs $20,000. But as the technology progresses it will get cheaper over time. And even at that price huge companies could see a long term savings in cost.

SMELLIT concept makes Cheech and Chong worth watching

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on February 12th, 2009

SMELLIT concept makes Cheech and Chong worth watchingWe’ve perfected the art of excellent sound and HD movies in our Home Movie Theaters. But something is missing. A sense of smell. If you can smell it, you are there. That’s where SMELLIT comes in. Imagine watching a chef make a pizza and being able to smell every detail, like you could also taste it. You could watch some Cheech and Chong movies and get a contact high.

SMELLIT works just like your printer, but ink cartridges are replaced with smell cartridges. As your DVD or Blu-ray player reads the video and sound information, SMELLIT processes the same DVD, but the ”smell CARD” decodes the smell information from 10 to 20 seconds* ahead of the actual scene so the odors have time to hit you. After information is read, the cartridge vaporizes a very small amount of “smell gel”, and the central fan distributes the smell in all directions. It can be loaded with up to 118 cartridges, each with a different “smell gel”.

Posted in Canon by Shane McGlaun on February 4th, 2009

Canon MX860There is a lot to like when it comes to all-in-one printers for the home or home office. Rather than having a printer, a fax, and a scanner you can get one device that costs you less and does all of the functions you need.

Canon has introduced a pair of new AIO printers called the Pixma MX860 and MX330. The two printers offer print, fax and scan capability. Both use the Super G3 fax system with the MX860 offering storage in memory for 250 faxes and the MX330 offers enough storage for 50 pages in memory.
