Xerox WorkCentre 3220 Multifunction Laser Is Fast and Cheap
By Databazaar Blog
Printer News: Xerox WorkCentre 3220 Multifunction Laser Doesn't Print in Color But Offers Everything Else
You can now buy an iPhone for $99. The catch is that the two years of service will cost you at least $1,700, probably more. But such pricing works because most people think in the present tense. Inkjet manufacturers have long used this trick. With the new WorkCentre 3220 multifunction laser printer, Xerox has jumped into the game as well.
Priced at just $549, this handsome-looking printer offers speeds of 30 pages per minute, Adobe PostScript 3 for printing complex graphics, Ethernet networking, duplex printing, and support for USB memory drives. It can also copy, scan, and fax.
So what's the catch? It's a monochrome printer. It'll also cost you more per page in toner than Xerox's pricier laser printers. Nonetheless, we would like to see more printers with Postscript and consider the WorkCentre 3220 worth a look for that reason alone. Also, kudos to Xerox for listing cost per page.

HP Photosmart Premium With TouchSmart Web Brings the Internet to Your Inkjet Printer
By Databazaar Blog
Printer News: HP Sees the Future of Printing in Online Apps Built Into its New Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web
We've long covered printers with PC-free features such as printing from memory cards or via PictBridge. But with the HP Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web, which we recently saw firsthand in New York City, HP has upped the ante.
The HP Photosmart Premium looks like a multifunction inkjet printer with an iPhone for a control panel. It's not really an iPhone of course, but a 4.33 inch touch screen from which you can run special Web-enabled apps.
For example, do you like Sudoku puzzles? You can print one anytime you want using the Sudoku app. Need directions? Enter your "here" and "there" and print a Google Map. Going shopping? Print some coupons. You get the idea. Other apps include Fandango for movie tickets, Snapfish for photos, weather reports, and various projects for kids from DreamWorks and Nickelodeon. HP promises more apps, all of which are free to use.
Will people want to print directly from the Web? We can certainly think of some use cases but only time will tell. HP is leaving nothing to chance. Its printer boss, Vyomesh Joshi, helped announce the Photosmart Premium, and HP has even launched a Twitter stream. HP often ships printers without even a press release.
The HP Photosmart Premium also handles old-fashioned PC printing with speeds up to 33 pages per minute. It copies, scans, and faxes. And like a few other HP printers, the Photosmart Premium can print screenshots from your Playstation PS3. Who wants to frame their college diploma when you can instead frame your score in Killzone 2.

Lexmark T652n and T654n Offer Speedy and Quiet Laser Printing
By Kara Hiltz
Printer News: Lexmark T652n and Lexmark T654n Reduce Cost Per Page With High-Yield Toner Cartridges
If the Lexmark T652n and the Lexmark T654n were roleplaying characters, they'd belong to the Thief class, with high speed stats and the ability to stay quiet. Lexmark designed these monochrome laser printers for high speeds and heavy work volumes.
The T652n and T654n models come network-ready as evidenced by the "n" in the model name. Lexmark also sells the T652dn/T654dn, which adds duplex printing and the T652tn/T654dtn, which adds a paper tray.
Jeff Roberts, Lexmark's Manager of Channel Marketing, seemed particularly excited about the extra high-yield cartridges for the T654n when we spoke with him. He says that you'll print 36,000 pages from an extra high-yield toner cartridge, which means you'll throw fewer cartridges into landfills. In the role-playing world, your alignment increase a few points for that, but in the real world you'll have to settle for a lower cost per page.

HP Photosmart Plus Offers Photo Printing Plus MFP Functionality
By Databazaar Blog
Printer News: HP Offers New Ways to Use Up Your Ink With Photosmart Plus
Former HP executive Jim Lyons recently reported sliding printer and supplies revenue at HP. We suspect HP is more concerned about supplies than printers because that's where the big money lies.
To this end, the new HP Photosmart Plus All-in-One offers a glimpse of an interesting strategy — embedded software designed to persuade people to print more pages. For example, from the Photosmart Plus' TouchSmart control panel, you can print notebook paper, Sudoku games, calendars, and more. You can also use HP's bundled software, HP Photo Print Gadget and HP Smart Web Printing. And of course HP touts its iPrint Photo app for the iPhone.
As for the hardware, HP claims the HP Photosmart Plus "strikes a balance between everyday and photo printing." It prints in color at 23 pages per minute, offers a dual-use tray that switches between document and photo paper, connects to your network via WiFi, and will cost $149 when it ships in August 2009. How long until we see a PC embedded into a printer?

HP Photosmart C4700 Series Good for Your Conscience and Wallet
By Databazaar Blog
Printer News: HP Caters to Environmentally-Conscious Consumers With the Photosmart C4700 All-in-One Series
In the old days (i.e., 2-3 years ago), companies like HP improved their printers by making them faster, better cheaper. Nowadays, they improve them by making them greener. The new HP Photosmart C4700 All-in-One Series uses 30% less energy than its predecessor. It also features duplex printing, which saves paper.
Green features aside, HP's competitors will find an inconvenient truth beneath the hood as the Photosmart C4700 offers WiFi printing (including via iPhone), lab-quality photos, 23 pages per minute in color, and copying and scanning — all for just $129 when it ships in July 2009. In fact, they might become green with envy (except perhaps for the manual duplex printing, which we view as pointless).

HP Deskjet D1600 Series Launches Today at Low Price Point
By Databazaar Blog
Printer News: HP Deskjet D1600 Series Offers Inkjet Printing in an Eco- and Recession-Friendly Package
HP's "Deskjet" brand introduced the world to inkjet printing, and it keeps on ticking after all these years. We saw the latest model at an HP event in New York city last week — the D1600 series (announced today and in stores this August).
Talk about good timing. With people feeling too poor these days to buy much of anything, the D1600 offers inkjet printing for just $39 at speeds that would make its ancestors jealous (16 ppm for color documents). It also features manual duplex printing, and a relatively compact design with dorm rooms in mind.
Look, no $39 printer will have a ton of features, but HP needs something to talk about so it spent considerable energy on the D1600's environmental impact or lack thereof. HP builds the D1600 using 25% recycled plastic and the printer ships in 100% recyclable packaging. That's great and we commend HP, but we suggest you focus primarily on the low price point, relatively fast speeds, and presumably quality output.

Brother MFC-8890DW Laser Printer Doubles Your Pleasure
By Kara Hiltz
Printer News: Brother Expands Duplex Capabilities Beyond Printing With MFC-8890DW
Many businesses consider duplex printing a must-have feature for their office printer. But what about creating double-sided copies and scans? The Brother MFC-8890DW takes duplexing to the next level by extending it to all of its all-in-one's functions — printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Take that Wrigley!
Also standard is WiFi networking and an automatic document feeder. The standard paper trays holds 300 sheets. Add another to boost capacity by 250 sheets. The Brother MFC-8890DW sells for about $500 — inexpensive when you consider that some desktop scanners sell for that much.

Lexmark T650 Laser Printer Series Comes in Good, Better, and Best Varieties
By Kara Hiltz
Printer News: Lexmark Offers a Black and White Printer for Every Need With T650n, T650dn, T650dtn
Finding an empty paper tray when you go to retrieve your print job is like walking into the break room to see an empty pot of coffee — annoying. Lexmark's T650 series helps you spend less time shoving paper into your printer with its high paper input capacity. And you'll also change toner cartridges less often with Lexmark's high-yield toner cartridges, which print about 7,000 pages.
The T650n comes network-ready with Ethernet. The T650dn model adds duplex printing. The top model, T650dtn, includes all of the above plus more paper capacity thanks to an additional tray. You can add finishing options to any model (e.g., automatic stapling of documents). Less time spent printing means you can spend more time brewing some fresh coffee. But go easy on the donuts.

Xerox WorkCentre 4260 Prints Around Problem Jobs
By Kara Hiltz
Printer News: Xerox WorkCentre 4260 Monochrome Printer Multitasks Just Like You
You multitask so shouldn't you expect the same of your printer? The Xerox WorkCentre 4260's Print Around feature continues with other printing jobs in its queue even when it encounters a problem with a particular job (e.g., out of letterhead paper).
The Xerox WorkCentre 4260 series includes three models: 4260S, the 4260X, and the 4260FX. All three feature monochrome laser printing as well as copying, scanning, and network faxing (the latter is an option on the 4260S). Xerox promises you a real duplex scanner, not a wimpy scanner as is often the case on MFPs. Duplex printing, fast print speeds of up to 55 pages per minute, and a 600-sheet capacity (3,100 on the 4260/XF) make this multifunction a workhorse.

Admittedly, we cover lots of "girly man" printers here at Datbazaar Blog. Not everyone needs to print 25,000 monochrome pages per month. But some people do so today we've got a he-man printer.
The Xerox Phaser 3300MFP handles a heavy workload of monochrome printing and copying. It also scans and faxes.
