Canon imageRUNNER LBP5280 and LBP3480 Desktop Laser Beam Printers – robust printers for SMBs and Enterprise Workgroups

By Databazaar Blog

Canon_imageRUNNER_LBP5280_LBP3480

The imageRUNNER LBP5280 and LBP3480 are Canon’s latest additions to their imageRUNNER line of printers. These desktop models have been designed to meet the printing needs of small and medium sized businesses and enterprise workgroups. The LBP5280 is a color printer while the LBP3480 prints only B&W.

Both models incorporate the RAPID Fusing System which provides exceptional image quality and needs almost zero warm-up time, besides consuming less heat and energy. Fast processing of complex print jobs is boosted by the scalable 768 MB RAM. The LBP5280 is capable of print speeds of up to 21 ppm (Letter) in both B&W and Color. The LBP3480 is faster with speeds of up to 35 ppm (Letter). Standard Automatic Trayless Duplexing is part and parcel of both models, so you can print on both sides of the paper and reduce paper consumption.

Though the standard print resolution is 600 x 600 dpi, you can get crisp sharp text and image output that is equivalent to 2400 x 600 dpi. The 5-line scrolling LCD and user-friendly control panel enables quick and easy navigation and lets you view toner and paper levels as well as status at a glance.

You can connect USB memory devices and USB cards to the two USB ports that are located at the front and back of the printer to facilitate USB-direct printing. With this feature you can directly print PDF, JPEG, TIFF and XPS file formats without using a PC. The Secure Print, Mail Box Print and Email Print features are available with the use of the optional SD card.

The front loading design for paper, toner, fuser and drum makes these printers compact and easy to maintain. You can integrate these printers on the network with imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFP systems and set up workflows to route print jobs and inbound faxes to your LBP printers thereby reducing the number of fax lines.

The LBP5280 and LBP3480 printers can be easily managed using Canon’s scalable imageWARE EMC utility that facilitates centralized management of printers and multifunction devices from Canon as well as other vendors.

Canon’s imageRUNNER LBP5280 and imageRUNNER LBP3480 are feature-rich dedicated laser printers for SMBs and enterprise workgroups.

HP Officejet 4620, 6600, 6700 e-All-in-Ones, Officejet 6100 ePrinter – cost effective office solutions for SMBs

By Databazaar Blog

HP_Officejet_Printers

With the launch of the HP Officejet 4620, 6600, 6700 Premium e-All-in-Ones and the Officejet 6100 ePrinter, HP has come up with a new set of cost effective solutions for small and medium sized businesses. The e-All-in-One models are capable of multi-tasking and print, copy, scan and fax functions. USB 2.0 connectivity is standard across all the models. They have built-in wireless capability that gives you the flexibility to print from virtually anywhere as well as print from mobile devices with HP ePrint and Apple Airtime. Besides being economically priced, they incorporate energy saving modes as well.

The higher end Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One has a 2.65” color LCD touch screen from where you can access apps on the web as well as directly manage print, copy and scan functions. The 35-sheet ADF (Automatic Document Feeder), 250-sheet input paper tray and draft print speeds of up to 34 ppm (Black) and 31 ppm (Color) mean higher productivity and fewer stops to replace paper. You get to save on paper by using the standard automatic duplex printing feature. The scanner can be operated by using the flatbed or the ADF. Scanning using the ADF is quick and easy when you have multiple pages to scan. This model includes a front USB port as well as Ethernet in addition to wireless and USB 2.0 connectivity.

The Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One has pretty much all the features of the 6700 model, except that its draft print speeds are slower at about 32 ppm (Black) and 30 ppm (Color), and it doesn’t feature duplex printing, a front USB port or Ethernet connectivity.

The lower end Officejet 4620 e-All-in-One has a 35-sheet ADF and an 80-sheet input paper tray. With draft print speeds of up to 23 ppm (Black) and 22 ppm (Color) and a print resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi, it is good for sharp, clear everyday prints. You can print right to the edge of the paper to create borderless prints up to 8.5” x 11” in size. The print, copy and scan functions can be operated directly from the 2” monochrome LCD. It doesn’t feature web connectivity, duplex printing, a front USB port or Ethernet connectivity.

The Officejet 6100 ePrinter has a 250-sheet input paper capacity and fast draft print speeds of up to 34 ppm (Black) and 31 ppm (Color). It supports a wide range of media and includes USB 2.0, Ethernet as well as Wireless connectivity. Duplex printing capability is not available on the ePrinter. You can print to it from mobile devices by using HP ePrint and Apple Airtime.

The HP Officejet 4620, 6600 and 6700 Premium e-All-in-Ones and Officejet 6100 ePrinter are cost effective office solutions for small and medium sized businesses.

Brother Graffitee GT 300 Series Digital Garment Printers – Print Directly on Garments

By Databazaar Blog

Brother_Graffitee_GT300

Brother’s Graffitee GT 300 Series Digital Garment Printers are economical, compact and more advanced when compared to the bulkier and more expensive GT-541 and GT-782 models. The lower-end GT-341 can print only CMYK on white or light colored material, whereas the GT-361 and GT-381 can also print in white on material of any color. Customers who opt for the more economical GT-341 can easily upgrade to GT-361 or GT-381 when they need.

These printers can print on 100% cotton as well as 50/50 cotton/polyester blends. Dark garments are required to be pre-treated before being printed on. With resolutions of 600 x 600 dpi and photo quality images up to 1200 dpi, the results are sharp and crisp. The ink needs to be cured by using a heat press, conveyor oven/dryer or industrial irons. The GT-361 and GT-381 can print in both color as well as white ink in a single pass, which means faster print times.

The platen is covered with a special fabric to keep the garment in place while printing – so you needn’t use pins or tacks. The platen height can be adjusted to print on different parts of the garment. You can create your designs using Adobe Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, CorelDRAW and other popular software and directly print on to the garment.

With its built-in user interface and Windows print driver, this printer doesn’t require any RIP or special interface. The front loading ink cartridge system is easy to handle and simplifies ink replacement. The printer can be hooked up to your PC with a USB 2.0 cable. Using Windows’ printer sharing feature you can share this printer on your network. If you don’t want to use a PC, you can plug-in a USB memory device to directly load and print your designs.

Brother is expected to start shipping the Graffitee GT 300 series printers in April 2012.

Summary

The Graffitee GT 300 Series Digital Garment Printers from Brother are economical and scalable.

OKI Data B700 series – Monochrome Laser Printers for demanding workgroups

By Databazaar Blog

OKI Data B700

The OKI Data B700 series of monochrome laser printers include network ready printers with optional/standard duplexing. These printers feature print speeds of 42 ppm (B710n/dn), 47 ppm (B720n/dn) and 52 ppm (B730n/dn), standard 700-sheet paper capacity that can be enhanced to up to 1,800 sheets and 128 MB RAM. You can enhance the standard 128 MB RAM to up to 640 MB to improve the processing capacity for large print jobs.

Paper consumption can be reduced using the duplexing feature. Duplexing is optional in the B710n, B720n and B730n models and available as a standard feature in the B710dn, B720dn and B730dn models. Standard interfaces include IEEE Bi-directional parallel, RS-232C Serial, High-speed USB 2.0 and RJ45 Ethernet print server; the 1 GB Ethernet print server is optional. OKI has recently introduced the Wi-Fi option for the B700 series.

The optional 40 GB hard disk and 512 MB Compact Flash Kit not only allow file storage, but also enable useful features like Proof & Print, Secure Print and Delayed Print.

Your organization’s security concerns are adequately addressed by the standard security features that are built into the B700 series. In addition to security protocols like 802.1x Authentication, SNMP v3 and IP Security, OKI has also implemented storage device security. A 6-digit PIN is required for accessing jobs stored on the hard disk or flash memory. The Auto Delete and Secure Erase features delete jobs stored on the hard disk or flash memory.

The B700 series include energy and cost saving features like Toner Save Mode, Duplex Printing, long lasting toner cartridges, and low power consumption in regular operation – especially in the Standby mode.

Summary

OKI Data’s compact and efficient B700 series monochrome laser printers have been designed to handle the printing needs of demanding workgroups.
