Game changer for
garment printing
The MagicTouch (TMT) describes
its T.One transfer paper as a game
changer for the image transfer
garment decoration industry.
The ‘One-Step’ coated paper for use
with TMT/OKI white-toner printers enables
the user to print full-colour (including white)
designs to any pastel, white or non-dark garment/textile, including cotton,
polyester, denim, soft-shell, polypongee and most performance fabrics.
For complex, detailed metallic effects, TMT provides foils that can be
applied directly to printed T.One transfers.
T.One complements the existing ‘Two-
Step’ WoW transfer process for black and
dark colour garments/textiles, which require
a higher white opacity.

The new HP DesignJet Z5600 and Z2600
PostScript Printers come with a six-ink
printing system, which includes a chromatic
red ink that enhances the colour gamut and
adds impact to point of purchase (POP) signs
and posters.
Increased uptime
With the launch of e-BRIDGE CloudConnect (ECC), users
of Toshiba TEC MFPs can look forward to greater device
uptime and a reduced management burden.
The secure, cloud-based solution provides device status alerts,
remote diagnostics, remote health checks, automated meter readings
and Just in Time supplies replenishment.
ECC can be configured for any Toshiba e-BRIDGE X or e-BRIDGE
Next MFP and there is no need to install software on users’ servers
or computers.
Toshiba says that operational data is transmitted to the Service
Cloud over a secure HTTPS/SSL connection and can only be viewed
by Toshiba and Approved Business Partners associated with that
actual device.
Carbon-free printing
Elephant Print and Display is now offering Climate Neutral
Printing in association with German-based climate consultancy
ClimatePartner. The East Sussex-based digital print company
calculates the CO2 greenhouse gas emissions of each print job,
which the customer can offset by making a contribution to an
internationally recognised carbon offset project. The one chosen by
Elephant Print and Display is the Kasigau Wildlife Korridor in Kenya.
Managing Director Jason Gadd said: “Climate protection and the
use of renewable energy has become an increasingly important part
of what we do. The cost is generally only about 1% to 2% of the
finished job.” Elephant currently operates two digital presses and
two large format machines, all powered by solar energy from the
company’s 600 Solar PV panels.
Five-year warranties
OKI UK is helping channel partners
increase sales in the public sector
with the introduction of an extended
5-year warranty on selected colour and
multifunction printers. Until the end of
November, all purchases of qualifying
printers by public sector customers will
be covered by a 5 year warranty. As
an incentive to increase order values,
public sector customers will also receive
vouchers of up to £400 towards their
next OKI purchase. Printers covered
include the C911dn, the C831n/dn,
the C841dn and the multifunction
MC562dnw.

Ricoh
launches battery-
powered MFP
Ricoh has introduced a battery-
powered MFP ideal for use at
outdoor events and other areas
without easy access to mains
power.
The 29ppm Ricoh SG 3120B SFNw
provides GELJET printing and scan/copy/
fax functionality on mains or battery
power.
Its rechargeable battery lasts for
up to 500 copies or 1,000 prints and
can be recharged overnight. There is
also the option of a spare battery with
battery charger. In the event of a power
cut or fluctuation, the SG 3120B SFNw
automatically switches to battery power
to ensure smooth, continuous operation.
The SG 3120B SFNw also has a handy
USB slot from which you can charge your
smart devices in emergencies.
Celebrate with HP
HP is celebrating the 25th
anniversary of the first HP
DesignJet inkjet printer by
inviting customers to photograph
themselves and/or their team
demonstrating ‘birthday spirit’
alongside their HP DesignJet
printer. The 25 most original
photos will win a prize! DesignJet
owners can upload their photos
at hp.com/go/myhpdesignjet until
October 25.
The first large-format HP DesignJet
inkjet printer, a monochrome model,
was introduced in 1991 as a faster
alternative to pen plotters for printing
large format technical drawings.
Subsequent colour models opened
new application opportunities, such as
GIS maps. Today, there are more than
3 million DesignJet printers installed
worldwide.
