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.

Summary

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.
MSRP: MSRP expected to be around $19,995 for the GT-341; $22,995 for the GT-361; and $25,995 for the GT-381

Epson_SureColor_S30670

Epson’s 64” solvent ink printer, the SureColor S30670, will be available in April 2012. With print speeds of up to 619 sq.ft/hr (draft mode) and 205 sq.ft/hr (normal mode), this printer can deliver price performance and amazing color to the signage and graphics industry.

It uses Epson UltraChrome® GS2 4-color solvent ink technology to deliver brilliant photo quality images. Print quality is enhanced with true PANTONE® spot color matching and Epson’s AccuPhoto™ screening technology. The newly patented high-performance yellow is environmentally safer and prints are durable for up to 3 years outdoors, even without lamination.

The Epson MicroPiezo TFP print head, with 10 channels x 360 nozzles over a 1” width, uses enhanced variable droplet technology to deliver print resolutions of up to 1,440 x 1,440 dpi. Nozzle clogging is reduced with advanced features like automatic print head alignment and cleaning as well as ink repelling coating technology.

The fast drying inks and the large surface media heater ensure that prints are dry even as they come off the printer. No need for special ventilation or external dryers. An optional high-speed dryer is available with the printer. The 4 front loading ink cartridges each have a 700 ml capacity so you won’t run out of ink mid-way during a print job. The spindle-less roll media loading system with EPSON LiftAssist technology combined with the motorized take-up reel and heavy media support reel ensure smooth media feed. The optional high-capacity roll support can handle media up to 150 lbs.

The availability of both Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 offers flexible connectivity. The full color LCD panel is simple to operate. Epson has bundled the ONYX GamaPrint™ Pro software along with every SureColor S30670 printer. This easy to use software provides a full RIP-queue and workflow, tools to recalibrate media as well as tools to size, crop and more.

Summary

The 64” wide Epson SureColor S30670, touted as the next generation solvent ink printer, is designed to deliver optimum quality and performance to the signage and graphics industry.
