COMMENT
Business inkjets have dominated the headlines for
so long that it makes a nice change to write about
laser printers – after all, laser is still the preferred
technology for business customers. Though it must
be said that there hasn’t been much to shout about
in recent years, especially at the low end.
HP has changed all this with the launch of new
Original HP toner cartridges with JetIntelligence, featuring
ColorSphere 3 toner (see page 16). HP describes its new
toner as ‘the most significant change since 1984’, and the
claimed benefits certainly sound impressive – up to 33%
higher page yields, 53% lower energy consumption, 40%
faster printing from wake-up, two-sided printing at the rated
speed, 40% smaller devices by volume.
These benefits won’t be available on all machines, or at
least not at the headline level – ‘up to’ are the key words
here. In the next issue we will be looking at the numbers
involved in more detail to see how much of an improvement
the new cartridges really offer compared to existing HP
models and the competition.
At first glance, features like a sub-7 second first page
out time and duplex printing at the rated speed are a great
enhancement, bringing features previously associated with
enterprise devices to the masses.
Of course, things are changing at the high end too.
Samsung’s new MX7 A3 colour MFP (see page 46) has
a mono first print out time of 3 seconds and a quadcore
processor. What really stands out, though, is the 120
page/240 image per minute scanner. It is surely a sign of the
times that in the launch press release Samsung made much
of the MX7’s scanner speed, but didn’t once reveal its print
speed – 60 pages per minute, in case you want to know.
