In 2013, Toshiba set a new industry benchmark
in sustainable printing when it launched the
e-STUDIO306LP and RD30 which incorporates its
unique erasable toner technology. It has now taken
this concept one step
further by introducing
a new hybrid MFP
which combines
conventional printing
with erasable
printing, enabling
paper to be reused
over and over again.
Driven by Toshiba’s
e-BRIDGE controller, the
e-STUDIO5008LP series
are the world’s first monochrome MFPs with erasable print
function. They work like any other mono device, users can print
in both black and erasable blue, and the MFP itself is capable
of erasing the toner. (Page 43)
On page 24, Steven Swift, co-founder of IDeAs shares his
thoughts on how apps are redefining the role of the office
MFP. He says that to succeed in capturing a bigger share of
workflows and associated revenues, the
print industry needs to take account of
some of the big changes taking place in
the office and the way people work. He
also asserts that the growing demand
for the flexibility for workers to adapt
and personalise their own devices and
technologies for work purposes as well
as their personal communications, is
driving the next big change in the way
we work.
In other news, both Spicers and VOW
have reduced the prices of key lines.
VOW has cut the cost of 95% of its top selling products in line
with its monthly currency review mechanism that evaluates
the performance of sterling against the euro and dollar, and
Spicers is providing price stability on dollar based products for
its customers right through Q3.
