What differentiates one inkjet printer from another? It has to be the quality which is a byproduct of the underlying technology. Epson boasts of the Micro Piezo technology while Canon and HP use Thermal technology. The Micro Piezo printer head consists of several tiny nozzles and is controlled by a piezoelectric crystal that rapidly flexes when current is applied. This pushes ...
As the print content moves steadily from desktop documents to web based documents in the form of online articles and blogs, HP aims to capture the digital printing market by: - Make it easier to print from websites, such as blogs and travel sites, and bring new printing capabilities to online properties; - Extend the company’s digital content creation and publishing platforms ...
The term PictBridge has been used whenever a photo printer is referred to and I felt that it would be a good exercise if it could be explained briefly for the benefit of our readers. In simple terms, a PictBridge port is an interface between a digital still camera and a printer. A digital still camera can be connected directly ...
We have already discussed about the higher model of photo printers from Canon, the Pixma Pro9000. While the Pro9000 is targeted at professionals with a steep price and unmatchable quality, Canon has a similar photo printer for home users who may not like to spend as much. The Canon Pixma 6700d is a perfect foil for home users for ...
We have enhanced our mapping tools by moving out of paper maps to either GPS locators or maps on cell phones. But, not everyone fancies the electronic device leading their way and still prefers to put their index finger over a paper map and locate places. There are chances that paper maps could get destroyed when drenched in rain or ...
It’s just not the inkjet printers that are cutting down on printing costs; laser printers have taken a cue as well. The latest to jump into the low priced bandwagon is Lexmark’s C534dn, a colour laser printer. Lexmark C534dn is estimated to print 8000 pages from mono cartridges and 7000 pages from colour cartridges. If the estimation is true, this ...

I would rather buy a refurbished product than a new one. Firstly I save money and most importantly it has been inspected thoroughly which I learnt during my tenure at ...
We have seen plenty of concepts that have given a new meaning to printers. There are printers that print designs on toast, edible menu cards to microchips and the list doesn’t seem to end. Good for me, I have lots to write about. Last week I stumbled upon a printer which acts as a photo frame. Quite weird huh! It’s ...
Few months back, I had written about a graduate student who had created printed circuit boards using a DeskJet printer. That merely remained a PhD project but here is a company that actually implements the idea on a commercial basis for all their semiconductor needs; that too at an intricate level. NANOIDENT Technologies based in Austria produces organic semi-conductor chips using ...
Oki has recently launched a colour office printer, C5500n, which is a multi function printer that can print, scan and copy. Oki claims that the C5500n is efficient, economical and easy to operate for small and medium offices. Monochrome printing speed is highly competitive at 32 ppm. It’s a network printer as desired at most places. The only drawback if ...
