Rugged mobile
printer
range
Brother has
introduced a
new range of
robust mobile
printers
designed to
meet a diverse
range of
portable print
requirements
in different
customer
environments in the
retail, healthcare and logistics industries.
The new RJ-2000 range consists of four
lightweight, compact and hardwearing models,
two for receipts and two for receipt and label
printing. All models have been developed to
withstand harsh working environments, drop
tested to 2.5m and IP54 rated out of the box.
The series offers users reliable, fast (152mm/
sec) and high quality printing. With the option to
print two inch labels, they enable users to produce
a broad range of documents to support labelling
needs like order confirmations, invoices and
delivery or returned goods receipts to easy-peel,
adhesive labels, directly from their mobile devices.
RJ-2000 models come with a range of
connectivity options, including Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi, and with the capability to integrate
seamlessly with industry leading software,
the printers slot easily into existing working
structures.
Versatile office workhorse printer
Canon’s new i-SENSYS LBP312x is a small footprint, high productivity printer for use in fast-
paced work environments where space is a premium. The new black and white printer is
ideal for busy office workgroups, offering advantages in speed, footprint, print quality, paper
capacity and running costs.
Based on an innovative, more compact print engine, it also uses smaller toner cartridges. Highly
efficient, the LBP312x delivers A4 and A5 print at speeds of 43ppm and 65ppm respectively. It’s ready to
print in seconds from power off and sleep when the new Quick Start Up or Recovery modes are enabled,
and the high-yield cartridges mean more pages can be printed between refills.
Epson updates cartridge-free models
Epson has launched two new EcoTank
printers, the ET-2600 and ET-2650, which
have a slimmed down design and smaller
footprint. Like the other EcoTank printers
in the range, the new models feature an
innovative ultra-high-capacity ink tank
system, filled by high-volume ink bottles.
The entry-level ET-2600 and ET-2650 come with
enough ink to print up to 4,500 pages in black
and 7,500 in colour. With an extremely low cost-
per-page and much more printing between refills,
the models present a cost-effective and efficient
solution that could reduce a user’s printing costs by
74% on average.
Since launching in 2010, Epson’s EcoTank range
has sold more than 15 million units worldwide.
