The book I recommend for the month - DRiVE The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H Pink Review from Amazon: Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of our lives. He demonstrates that while the old-fashioned carrot-and-stick approach worked successfully in the 20th century, it's precisely the wrong way to motivate people for today's challenges. In Drive, he reveals the three elements of true motivation: Autonomy—the desire to direct our own lives. Mastery—the urge to get better and better at something that matters. Purpose—the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves.

Reasons to Participate In the RechargExpo

Turkey 2015! Enter into “A Place in the Sun” - Turkey!

Centrally Located - Gateway to the Middle East Market:

Have you ever felt that the speed of your business growth is lagging below your expectations? Have you had the feeling you have outgrown your existing market and saturated sales channels in the mature, developed countries? The competition is fiercer than ever and you need to look for new markets that hold a significant growth potential due to their lower maturity. Wondering where these markets are? RechargExpo Turkey will be your ideal chance to find that out and keep the growth momentum going!

Turkey is a natural bridge along the East-West and North-South axes, which has turned it into a cost-efficient outlet to major markets. Easy access to 1.5 billion customers in Europe, Eurasia, the Middle East and North Africa, multiple markets with USD 25 trillion in GDP should be very attractive for competitive industry players.

With the Black Sea to the north, the Aegean Sea in the west and Mediterranean Sea to the Southwest, Turkey is surrounded by Bulgaria and Greece to the west, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia to the northeast, and Syria, Iraq and Iran to the southeast. Turkey really is a curious mix of the west and east, and a gateway to the marketplaces leading to Europe, Eurasia, the Middle East and North Africa! Below are the top reasons to take part in RechargExpo Turkey to get ahead of the competitors:

Successful Economy and Large Market: Turkey has a successful economy with GDP reaching $820 billion last year. It has a large population of 76.7 million, many of them young, active people. Turkey is also an international trade hub, with exports worth $13.4 billion and imports of $19.86 billion for the month of June-July this year alone. This should speak volumes to the active businesses that would like the opportunity to take part in this large and successful economy.

Friendly Business Environment -- Low Taxes and Attractive Incentives: Turkey has a liberal and reformist investment climate, as well as a business-friendly environment and highly competitive conditions. The government is currently implementing a regional and sector-based incentive system to encourage faster growth. In addition, Turkey is among the founding members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and G2 Major Economies.

www.rechargeasia.com

Well-Established Infrastructure: The country has a new and highly developed technological infrastructure in transportation, telecommunications and energy. Well developed and low-cost delivery systems make the economy move fast.

Younger Age Group & Friendly People: Turkey has a population of 76.7 million, half of it under the age of 31, and a dynamic, young, well-educated and multi-cultural workforce. It is this predominantly young population that is helping Turkey’s economy grow so fast. What’s more, the country is only moderately Muslim, with warm and welcoming people.

RechargExpo Turkey is teaming up with one of the largest stationery and office products exhibition RechargExpo Turkey has teamed up with the Istanbul Stationery and Office Exhibition, a world of stationery and office supplies. Every year, a growing number of visitors from the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and Asia are visiting the Istanbul Stationery & Office Exhibition. The Exhibition is the top ranked event in Turkey, and the third largest platform in the world! The exhibition’s profile includes, though it’s not limited, to the following: Office Supplies School Articles Paper and Files Packing and wrapping materials Cartridges and refilling products Toys and educational materials Art and hobby materials Photocopiers and printers 3D printers and accessories

Lets Jointly Find the KEY to Success in the SEA Market RechargExpo Thailand 2014 Report! After many months of hard, persistent work and a one-month push back because of the difficult political situation in Thailand, we finally held our latest event between August 28-30, 2014 in Bangkok on a positive note. We were able to engage roughly the same extent of foot traffic this year as we did last year, but with more new faces appearing both as exhibitors and as visitors, including a few more local Thailand companies. The country's now calmed down political climate has returned it its name as the "land of smile" and encouraged people to feel safe to travel and conduct business.

We Have Reached Out to Many Printing Professionals in the SEA Region: Dedicated promotional efforts via multiple media channels were made to encourage greater involvement in the RechargExpo at both local and global levels. These included, though were not limited to, industry trade events, print media, social medial channels, email, and regional IT malls. There are always remote corners that are far to reach, however, we did our best to promote our event, using both traditional and digital media outlets. The statistics we received have shown we successfully reached out to many more new visitors compared to last year. At the same time, however, overseas visitor numbers, from outside of Thailand, dropped, and we concluded this decrease was due to the political upheavals in the country earlier in the year. As a whole, we are greatly encouraged by the new demographic composition of the crowds, and by the success of our new initiatives in 3D printing. The owner of Aicon said "I hold a great appreciation for RechargeAsia's effort to bring us to the emerging markets to grow our business. I have to gladly report this expo has given me the opportunity to engage with one of the largest distributors in the SEA market. I am truly grateful for the industry platform being nurtured in this neighborhood market." "This show is such a premier type. We appreciated that all the visitors are industry professionals, unlike many other shows, where we are called on to educate the masses, meaning we have to explain the basic terms to the visitors. During the exhibition hours at RechargExpo we could quickly and easily engage with the visitors for intelligent business conversation," said David Li, Global Platform Manager Shaanxi Hengtong Intelligent Machine Co., Ltd.

New Initiative - 3D Printing Conference on Site One of the show's highlights was the new initiative of putting together high-calibre presentations on 3D printing that we introduced to 2D printing industry peers. Despite the hype, media buildup and differences between 3D printing and 2D printing, we strongly believe that this sector will lead to the future business growth for the wider industry and we 2D printing companies can and should capture the opportunities

SHOW TIME when the brand new industry is about to take off. Thinking outside the box is the message we tried to convey to the aftermaketers.

Let's Jointly Find the KEY to the Success in SEA market.

Imagine who would have thought about the big bang impact of the internet 20 years ago. One of our speakers, a well known Washington-based IP attorney, John Hornick, mentioned in his speech that one client back then asked him about copyright on internet, and he had to search what is "internet". Now, we all are living in it. We foresee the same rate of growth and deeply penetrating impacts from 3D printing, in spite of the current technical obstacles we face and the challenge that is the markets' readiness.

The Fun Networking - Gala Dinner and the Unique Performance: People come to event to meet clients, old and new, to connect and reconnect, and to discuss business and negotiate new terms. Toward the end of the day, clients and providers become friends and trust is being built or reinforced. The social networking opportunity created by the event and organized by RechargeAsia is what makes this bonding time possible. We shared some good laughs, and tasted delicious dishes, accompanied by high-end red wines provided by our clients and Aadering winery -- a well known South Africa red wine maker. With a glass of good wine in good company, you are refreshed and recharged for the next big day. During the gala dinner, IDC analyst Jennie Hoh made a presentation about printing management and how to be creative in seeking fast-growth opportunities by showing us a fascinating video of Tesco supermarkets' new brilliant initiative Tesco Homeplus Virtual Subway Store in South Korea.

Our Heartfelt Appreciation to Our Local Partners and Our Team! In the end, I want to extend our great appreciation to our longterm customers for your continuous support and sponsorship. Without you there, this stage will not be built solidly. Also, to our local partners, the AXIS and IMPACT team, who were the ones to offer us practical tips and be the voice for the local audience when relaying the marketing messages. We especially appreciated their one-on-one dialogues to make sure the local companies understood and engaged with our event. Last but by no means least, we thank our hard-working staff who put their hearts and souls in ensuring this expo will be on, and will proceed with success despite the twists and turns, and daunting challenges we faced in this process. For that, I am in debt to you all, for the progress we made each year. The journey is long and hard, but we are determined to win, and bring more success to the industry! The new way of innovation & thinking. Let's find the key to success together! We are in this journey to plot a new path, to have an adventure, and we do hope you join us in plotting the land of opportunities in the new and emerging markets to expand your customer base and market reach. In conclusion, we had a successful event in Thailand, and we are optimistic about the growing potential in the reigon, where printing still matters, and, in fact, is growing at a fast pace. We hope to see you again in August 2015!

See You 2015 in Thailand

“HP Instant Ink” – Has the future arrived? By Antonio Sánchez Navarro The printing industry is expectant to see what the results of the HP Instant Ink program are. This program is quite unique compared to what the OEMs have done up until now. HP has implemented in this program what most other players wanted to do but never had the courage. Let’s take a deep look into what the offer from HP means.

apparently because the program is limited to two models, and let’s be honest, this limitation is not the result of a marketing strategy. It is certainly in the mind of HP to expand this offer upwards in the market to the large and corporate segments. But to do so HP first must remove the limits, and open the offer to all or most of its models.

HP Instant Ink lets the customer pay a flat fee with a cap on the number of pages printed per month. Nevertheless the customer can exceed the number of pages printed. A step payment does then apply. The program offers packages starting with volume as low as 400 pages per month and is currently limited to only two models.

Breaking into smaller pieces: auto-fulfillment + risk management + attractiveness. An analysis of the components of this program reveals the following ingredients: • Attractive offer that solves, in a smart way, the customers fear regarding the cost of printing. The customer pays for what he prints. His costs are known from day one, and they include everything: the printer, the ink, the service, the monitoring and the delivery of cartridges. • Risk management: there are 2 risks around this offer: • “free-bar” symptom: when a customer that does not perceive the cost associated to printing his tendency is to print with no auto-control. HP Instant Ink neutralizes this risk stablishing some caps to the volume of pages that can be printed per level of payment. • The risk of the excess of delivery of cartridges: 80% of the cost of the program is the ink. The more ink HP ships, the less profit it gets or the more money it loses. Therefore HP has to be certain that it only ships cartridges to the customer when they are needed, and that there are no duplicate deliveries. This is an absolute synch with the MPS compliance of the printer (see Nubeprint Report for MPS Compliant to know more) LINK. The offer is limited to only a those few models that rate high in MPS compliant. At the same time HP has manufactured super high yield cartridges specific to this program. HP then reduces the number of shipments and therefore its costs. • Automatic order fulfillment: a small ticket program like this can become a huge problem if it ends up to be successful, due to the amount of small tasks that need to be performed and which cost has to be covered with monthly rents of 2 digits. Therefore the whole recurrent process of billing pages, triggering the need of a cartridge, processing the order and delivering it has to be fully automated. Should human intervention be required, the profit would be cleared. The MPS compliance of the printer influences the capacity to auto-fulfill it. This is certainly the reason why HP Instant Ink is limited to two printer models.

Limitations: only for a few concrete printer models. HP has apparently found a way to combine all the ingredients to manage this program and make a substantial profit. I say

www.rechargeasia.com

Is HP Instant Ink an MPS killer offer? Well, this is what Rich Heckelmann (HP) asks himself in a discussion published. It may perfectly be the first step to something larger than just an offer. This offer is the key to a long term contract with the endcustomer, which is exactly what any company dreams of. What would happen to the IT printing market if this program was available for any printer or copier in the market? Very simply, the individual sale of cartridges would drop down to a residual level. Instead, customers would buy page contracts: print as much as you need and pay a flat fee.

HP is not alone in the market. But HP is not alone in the market. One of the largest MSPs with operations in Spain, Portugal and LatAm, Iecisa, has its own multivendor and multi model program. The GIO program has versions for all segments, from the SMB to corporate, from one single unit contract, to tens of thousands of printers or copiers. For a flat monthly fee the customer can select from a variety of printer and copier models and manufacturers. Once again the replacement of supplies is automatically and proactively managed hassle free for the customer. What makes this program quite unique is that the customer can incorporate his existing printers to the contract, taking advantage of the automated replacement that is powered with Nubeprint yield management MPS technology. There are more examples of this, but we shall see many more coming in and joining Iecisa and HP in the next 12 months. As a consequence, the printing distribution channel will change dramatically in the coming 5 years. If you don’t have plans for an MPS offer with auto/fulfilment in your company, you better start making them. And if you do, time has come to execute. Nubeprint is the only technology that guaranties auto-fulfilment operations free of false alerts and waste, fully vendor agnostic both for printers and cartridges.

Products Violating Patent US 6,264,301 Banned Again by 337 GEO Recently, American Customs and Border Protection (CBP) denied entry into the United States of some replacement inkjet cartridges for HP printers. It was reported that these supplies were banned according to a general exclusion order (GEO) awarded to HP by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) back in investigation 337-TA-691 in 2009. This GEO forbids the import of all supplies violating HP patents US6,089,687 and 6,264,301, namely the Ink Gauge patent and the Data Decoding patent, respectively. These two patents cover two core HP chips technologies, which are utilized in HP cartridges including HP 564/364/178/ 862 /940/920/950/932/970/960/711/980, etc. It has not been long since Apex Microelectronics reminded the industry of the risk in ignoring the 6,264,301 patent and even bypassing the 6,089,687 patent. The consequence of the aftermarket’s long-time neglecting is a high infringement risk in many replacement cartridges for HP. The recent incident sounded another alarm to the aftermarket that GEO could happen at any time; that the risks of cartridge being forfeited, of fine and accusation from HP always exist for those whose cartridges violate HP patents. In addition, just a few weeks earlier the CBP also turned back a number of cartridges infringing Epson and Canon patents. It is obvious that custom has developed a stronger sense of awareness on printer supply aftermarket products, and needless to mention the OEMs’ growing protection on their intellectual property rights. For players in the aftermarket, valuing patents is the premise of success in worldwide markets. Apex Microelectronics recognizes and respects all Intellectual Property owned by others and expects all others to reciprocate accordingly. Apex Microelectronics is universally recognized as the largest chip manufacturer supporting the global imaging aftermarket. The company holds 200 chip technology patents, with many more pending and also has patented SOC technology, crucial to keeping pace with OEM chip innovations. *Part of the information in this article comes from http://www.action-intell.com/

Ricoh India Falls in the Red in Q1 2014 Ricoh India reported disappointing financial results for its first quarter to the end of June, with a net loss of INR 15.29 crore, from a positive net result of INR 3.18 crore a year earlier. Net revenues stood at INR 226.3 crore, from INR 171.1 crore in April-June 2013. The company’s stock reacted to the news by dropping 10% to INR 175.50 in Bombay, reversing a trend of a steady increase.

Inkjet Makers Increasingly Challenge Laser, Multifunctional Machines Multifunctional printers were all the rage until recently, with prices as low as $250. This, however, was offset, and sometimes even exceeded by maintenance expenses. Now, there is a new player in the field, or rather, a returning one -- inkjets. There are three market leaders in the inkjet niche currently: HP, Epson, and Memjet. For HP, inkjets are a way to shift focus from laser printers as it has to share all benefits from its laser printer sales with Canon. Epson, for its part, has suffered a serious blow on the photo printing market, which is on a steep slide. Finally, Memjet is the ambitious newcomer in the club, and one way to prove its worth is to grab as big a bite out of the inkjet market as it can. Canon is the currently undisputed market leader in terms of revenues. HP is far behind in the second place and inkjets are its best chance to get a bit closer to the Japanese mammoth. It can eve challenge its top position with its Officejet Pro X and the Officejet Enterprise multifunctionals, if it speeds up their adoption in offices. Memjet is focusing on managed print services with a significant disruption potential for the printing market. Combined with Epson’s two new product lines, the WorkForce Pro 5000 series and the WorkForce Pro RIPS (Replaceable Ink Pack System), these three companies have the capacity to cardinally change the face of the industry in the near future. To conclude, here are the main advantages of inkjets that could overturn the laser-dominated status quo. First, they are notably cheaper. Second, they require less maintenance. Third, subscription services are making the life of office assistants much easier, increasing the appeal of inkjets. Fourth, they are widely used in MPS, offering attractive cost savings for customers. In short, it’s very likely that the future belongs to inkjet printers.

Supreme Court Clarifies False Advertising Lawsuit Rules A lawsuit brought by printing giant Lexmark against Static Control Components has been taken to the Supreme Court, which has now come with a decision clarifying the circumstances in which the Lanham Act can be invoked. The Act concerns false advertising. In the legal proceedings started by Lexmark, the printing company accused Static Control of violating a copyright concerning a microchip that the company puts in its printer cartridges in order to protect its products from being refilled by another company. Static Control, for its part, started making imitative chips in order to allow remanufacturers to resell Lexmark-compatible cartridges. Static Control ran a counter claim against Lexmark at the time, in 2002, saying that Lexmark had violated the Lanham Act by effectively calling into question the legality of remanufactured cartridges, ultimately harming remanufacturers in the eyes of customers. The Supreme Court ruled that in cases concerning alleged false advertising, the plaintiff must be able to prove that the defender has indeed injured a party’s commercial interest with regard to sales or reputation through misrepresentation.

Apex Cartridge Chips Avoid Infringing the '687 and the '301 Patents While many in the industry are unaware of it, Hewlett-Packard recently obtained a general exclusion order issued by the international Trade Commission in case number 337 – TA – 691. That general exclusion order prohibits the importation into the United States of products which infringe two Hewlett-Packard patents. Those patents are 6, 089, 687 ( '687) and 6, 264, 301(' 301). The '687 patents is generally referred to as the ink gauge patent, and the '301 patent is generally referred to as the identification or data decoding patent. Certain importers of chips into the United States have literally copied HewlettPackard chips which incorporate the circuitry described in the above patents. Those literal copies are infringing chips, and certain companies have had their chips seized as a result of the general exclusion order. There is great concern that companies who purchase chips or products with embedded chips which violate the patents, and/or the exclusion order, may themselves be guilty of patent infringement. Companies guilty of patent infringement may be subject to damages, including the possibility of treble damages, costs and attorney fees. Apex has designed cartridge chips which it's engineers believe specifically avoid infringing these two patents and are therefore, in the opinion of the Apex designers, products which are not subject to the general exclusion order. Based on the representations made to our law firm, the Eclipse Group, Mr. Greg Gulliver, a lawyer who is an expert in computer technology, who has a degree in computer science in addition to his law degree, and who specializes in writing patent applications in computer technology, has concluded that the Apex cartridge chips avoid infringing the '687 and the '301 patents. His decision is based primarily on the fact that, according to the Apex design engineers, the Apex designs eliminate certain key patent claim limitations. In order for a product to infringe claims of a patent, that product must contain each and every listed claim limitation set forth in the patent claim. Products which are designed with the elimination of at least one of the claim elements do not infringe, neither directly, nor under the doctrine of equivalents. Because of Mr Gulliver's international reputation as an expert, his opinion is of great importance. By designing chips which avoid the two patents, and their corresponding general exclusion order, Apex has opened the door for this industry to purchase and use Apex chips. This should be of major value to this industry.

Edward F. O'Connor Ed O’Connor serves as chair of The Eclipse Group’s litigation department. His expansive career includes serving as a public defender in Palm Beach County, Florida; serving with Air Force J.A.G., where he wrote patent applications in computer technology, space exploration and advanced weapons systems; as well as in the capacity of senior intellectual property and litigation attorney with Intel where he was responsible for managing the organization’s worldwide litigation.

The suit has been filed with the Moscow City Economic Court against the defendant X-Com Shop Ltd., a distributing company. Canon believes that certain models of cartridges sold on the Russian market under trademarks "CACTUS" and "G&G" by this distributor infringe the Patent. The purpose of the claim is to stop infringement and to collect damages for patent infringement in accordance with Russian law. Throughout the development, sales and marketing process, Canon respects the intellectual property rights of other companies and individuals and expects others to do the same. Canon remains committed to taking legal action against anyone who does not respect Canon's intellectual property rights.

Material ConneXion Adds New, Superstrong 3D Filament to Library Consulting firm Material ConneXion has added a superstrong filament named iglide tribo-filament to its library of polymer materials. The company also said it was the best new material it has sourced. Iglide is a strong low friction material optimized for work in 3D printers. According to the company that makes it, igus, the material is up to 50 times more wear- and abrasion-resistant than the classic PLA 3D printer filament. What’s more, it was specifically developed with a view to use in motion control applications. The company’s library has more than 7,000 materials in it, and polymers are just one of the categories in it, along with natural materials, glass, metals, ceramics, and natural materials, among others.

Personal 3D Printing Insight Soon to be In from Photizo The Photizo Group will soon be ready with the results from the Pesonal 3D Printing Survey that is aimed to reveal patterns and trends in the field that would give the industry valuable insight. This is the second edition of the survey, which classifies personal 3D printers as those costing below $5,000.

Ohio Community College Gets $5M Funding for 3D Lab

Photizo plans to continue doing this survey on a regular annual basis, helping industry players make better decisions. Last year, for instance, the survey revealed an interesting trend among endusers: those who already had a 3D printer were more willing to buy a more expensive one in the future, while those who planned the purchase of their first 3D printer had more demands but did not want to spend a lot of money.

Lorain County Community College has been granted $2.5 million by the state government, plus another $2.5 million from a private donation, to expand its Nord Advanced Technologies Center. The money will go towards adding more capacities for the college’s Advanced Digital Manufacturing Program, which trains students in robotics, computer numerical control machining, and network communications. The college already has one 3D printer but will now be able to expand the production area for additive manufacturing, the LCCC’s vice president of strategic and institutional development Tracy Green said.

Becoming 3D Focuses on Household Tech

3D Systems Expands with New Production Facilities

A startup set up by a former HP Elite partner, Grant Sadowski, is drawing on his expertise in 2D printing, focusing on making the new tech more affordable. Becoming 3D offers 3D printing services for households and enterprises, regardless of their size. These also include training in 3D printing, support from start to finish and financial and software consultation.

After an acquisition spree, 3D Systems is continuing its ambitious growth strategy with capacity expansion. The company recently announced it will open one 500,000 sq ft plant for the production and distribution of 3D printing systems, and another, 30,500 sq ft, facility for filament and filament cartridge production. The first plant will be located in North Carolina, and the second in Ohio.

Sadowski’s founding partner, Matt Craine has also brought valuable expertise to the company, drawing on two decades of experience in developing innovative software applications for the world’s biggest companies.

The Ohio plant will produce two of 3D Systems’ newest filaments -- one partially recycled rPET material for the EKOCYCLE Cube machine, for which 25% of raw materials come from recycled Coke bottles, and the “engineeringgrade nylon filament” that is used for 3D Systems’ CubePro. The plant will also house the company’s research and development team for thermoplastics.

Shapeways Develops New Full-Color Plastic Shapeways has announced it has developed a whole new plastic material featuring the full color range of 3D Systems ProJet printing. Current 3D printer filaments can only combine three or at most four different colors. For now, the company has released the material to a limited group of designers to let them experiment with it and tests its characteristics. It will be officially released on the market following the results from the testing stage and final approval from Shapeways. The company said the resolution of the new material resembles that of its Full Color Sandstone palette but unlike it, the plastic will be able to print movable elements.

UK Startup Set to Launch First Cheap SLS 3D Printer UK company Norge Systems has started a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter in order to be able to start the production of the first two cheap 3D printers using the selective laser sintering technology. The tech was patented by Carl Decker from the University of Texas but the patent expired this year. So far printers based on the SLS tech cost six-figure sums, but expectations are that, as it happened with other 3D tech after the expiry of their patents, prices will plummet very soon. Norge Systems’ two projects, Ice1 and Ice9, are, respectively, a small and a large SLS printer, with the large one set to cost around $34,000, VAT exclusive, and the small one is seen to cost $13,000, VAT exclusive. The Ice9 uses 40W tube laser to print items with a maximum size of 30 x 30 x 45 cm, at speeds reaching 30mm per hour. The smaller machine, Ice1, will use a 10W solid state laser that can print objects with sizes of up to 20 x 20 x 25 cm.

Stratasys Books 67% Jump in Revenues Q2 3D printing major Stratasys reported revenues of $178.5 million for the second quarter of the year, up 67%, exceeding analyst expectations, which averaged $156.6 million. Organic revenues were also significantly higher than expected, and by the company itself: these stood at 35%, against a projected minimum of 25%. Earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis rose 22% to $0.55 apiece, beating analyst expectations for $0.45. GAAP EPS, however, were zero, still better than the loss of $0.07 booked for the second quarter of 2013. Stratasys’ stock surged 20% following the release of the financial report. In a conference call, chief executive David Reis said that the company was benefiting from rising demand for manufacturing applications, which drove improved sales of the company’s Fortus systems. Another driver for the performance were the higher sales of Stratasys’ Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-material 3D Printer, the world’s first that can print in a variety of colors and materials. The company increased its guidance for full-year performance, now expecting revenues of between $750-$770 million, and non-GAAP EPS of $2.25 to $2.35. Stratasys will also continue to sacrifice its short-term profits in favor of acquisitions and higher marketing expenses in order to secure long-term growth.

MPS Evolution Advances Quickly The field of managed print services is developing rapidly, with sector players not wasting any time to take advantage of the cost savings possibilities inherent in it. Says Lexmark’s sales director enterprise for Europe, the Middle East and Africa Mark Kelly, this is no longer a valueadded service but a business division in its own right, capable of contributing significantly to the improvement of the overall business operations of a company. Starting as a way to consolidate output, MPS has advanced to automated fleet management and further to an array of tools to enhance workflows. According to Kelly, the maturing market has also contributed significantly to the evolution of MPS, pushing it forward to a stage when it has become a smart service, with MPS providers ready to offer aligned print, information management, and business process automation. In other words, MPS is already very far from a means of saving costs. It is now the basis of a whole new business model that leads to better customer service, enhanced employee productivity, and increased data security, plus remote printing possibilities.

Xerox Analyst Outlines Eight Major Trends in Multifunctionals Market

126 Issue October 2014

Canon, Epson Among Best LowPrice Multifunctionals Multifunctional devices that combine printing, faxing and a range of other capabilities are becoming increasingly popular, especially as prices are steadily going down. Max Levitte, chief executive of website Cheapism. com, lists the four best ones with a price tag of under $80.

Although the market for multifunctional devices has been in decline in the last couple of years, all points to the fact that the segment is far from exhausted, according to Siddhartha Bhattacharya, who is the global marketing manager for office products, solutions and competition at printing major Xerox. Firstly, the printers and multifunctionals market is mature and is expected by InfoTrends to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.6% until 2018, with the lower end of office supplies at an especially beneficial position. At the same time, single-use device sales will continue dropping, with consumers aware of all the benefits of multifunctionals and the growing digitalization trends globally. A perhaps surprising outtake from the printer market analysis is that although color devices are favored, the majority of shipments is still in the black-and-white segment, and will continue to be so until 2018, to the tune of 70% of all shipments. In addition, A4 machines are being steadily preferred by users, as they cost less but have a range of capabilities that make them attractive. As regards multifunctionals particularly, m a nufacturers need t o f oc us m ore on improving their non-printing features, as these are their main attraction. Higher scanning speeds, for instance, would further improve their appeal. Another priority in an increasingly digital environment is adoption cloud solutions and apps. Though this is challenging at this point, it is nevertheless essential. Furthermore, there is an increased focus on mobile services, and this includes mobile printing. Bring-your-own-device is a booming trend, and printing is one of the things that will make the growing number of mobile workers more efficient. Finally, managed print services are evolving, and the next stage in their evolution is the emergence of managed workflow services, encompassing all printing activities within an enterprise.

First on his list is Canon’s PixmaMG6320. The device’s price starts from $70, and it features six inkwells, automatic duplexing, and s 3.5-inch touchscreen. You can print directly from a camera memory card or scan data to a card. Second comes Epson WF-2540, which carries a starting price tag of $75, and boasts long-term saving capabilities through its four inkwells, as well as enhanced convenience with its 30-page automatic feeder, along with the already standard faxing, copying and scanning capabilities. The third entry on the list is Brother MFC-J450DW, starting from $80. The device uses four ink cartridges and, in addition to an automatic feeder and automatic duplexing, has the major advantage of being very fast. According to Brother, the device can print as many as 33 pages per minute in black and white. Last is another Canon product – the Pixma MG5420. Prices start from $79 and what makes this device stand out is the capability of printing directly on CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays. It has five inkwells and guarantees high print quality, according to consumer reviews.

Epson Marks 50th Anniversary of Miniaturized Printing Japanese printing industry giant Epson recently celebrated five decades in miniaturized printing, which it introduced in 1964 during the Olympic Games in Tokyo. The company’s timer was a game-changer for Olympics recording. A quarter of a century later, Epson did the same for the projector market, with the launch of the 3LCD technology. The tech revolutionized projectors, providing worldwide audiences with crisp, accurate images. These are just two of the inventions that have helped cement Epson’s position among the world’s greatest innovative companies. It was included in Thomson Reuters’ 100 Global Innovator Awards last year, a prize the company will add to several awards from the European Imaging and Sound Association, a few from the Technical Image Press Association, as well as acknowledgments in the IEEE Corporate Innovation Award, and the latest, BLI Pick of the Year 2014 for its WorkForce DS-860 scanner.

Epson Works Hard to Stay Ahead of Competition Epson has a long and successful tradition in research and development that has helped it earn its current top position in the printing technology industry. But the Japanese company is far from slacking -- it recently applied for patents both in its traditional sphere of expertise, printing, and in the area of smart wearables and robotics. A couple of the patent applications are about inkjet printing technology, including one for preventing heat-cause damage from causing harm to the printing process. Another patent application concerns a new ink set specifically designed for black inks with a view to minimizing yellow discoloration in the printed image. In the field of wearable technology and robotics, Epson has developed a head-mounted device similar to Google glasses, and a suction-type robot, which is capable of holding onto a load safely even if there is external force interfering with it. Among the latest patent issued to Epson are a technology aimed to deal with short circuits occurring in ink and toner cartridges, a system that allows the machine to spot if an error is simple and fixable, or it is fatal and it needs to shut down. Another patent recently granted to Epson is for a display function that makes possible the preview of the material to be printed with cutting-edge accuracy, even of the minutest details. Epson also won a patent in the field of robotics recently, for a robotic hand aimed at improving the per formance of manufacturing robots, improving their ability to grasp smaller objects without damaging them in the process.

Mse.com was redesigned in 2012 to offer many new and outstanding features, communicating the value and quality proposition of MSE in an eye-pleasing and easy-to-navigate format. The content of the site reflects the latest offerings with upto-date information on all the patented technologies and proprietary processes that made MSE the widely recognized leader in quality.

MSE Expands Color R&D Center with Addition of 8 Engineers VAN NUYS, Calif.–MSE, a pioneer in Advanced Color Technologies (ACT), has positioned itself for further innovation and advancement with the addition of eight experienced engineers and 10 technicians, adding hundreds of years of combined color expertise to an already formidable team.

Says Mark Dawson, head of Business Development in EMEA: “The MSE product range is very special with multiple unique technologies that make it a very attractive proposition for the reseller community and our web site has been designed very much with that in mind. The ability to communicate in the language of the markets we are addressing is, of course, fundamental and I am delighted that this sales tool is now available in the French language so that our existing customers can take full advantage of its features and benefits.”

In July, when Micro Solutions Enterprises (MSE) and Clover Technologies Group announced their strategic merger, they cited the many advantages and synergies the partnership would bring.

Jerome Thebault, who drives Sales in French-speaking markets, added: “We are offering the reseller channel a strong value proposition and one which is demonstrably different -- and we believe better -- than what is available generally in the market place today. Our goal is to help drive improved margins for our resellers and to meet the very real needs of the market by providing a truly equivalent OEM product range, but at a price advantage compared with the OEM.

Remanufacturing the Samsung SCX-6555 Drum Cartridge By Mike Josiah, Technical Director of UniNet Imaging

Mike Josiah Mike Josiah is the Technical Director at UniNet’s East Coast office, a global distributor of toner, Smartchips, OPC drums, and other toner remanufacturing components. Mr. Josiah is an industry veteran since 1987, and a member of ASTM committee F.05, the STMC Technician Certification committee, as well as an STMC trainer. He and his support team at UniNet contribute with technical articles to industry trade magazines, and conduct seminars at association meetings and tradeshows worldwide.

First released in June 2008, the Samsung SCX-6555 series of printers are based on a 55ppm, 600dpi MFP engine (1200 x 1200 Enhanced). The first page out is rated at under 8 seconds. These MFP machines print, copy, scan and fax. They come with 256Mb/512Mb of memory and have an 80GB hard drive installed. The user interface is a high resolution TFT LCD color touch screen. It’s a 7” screen with a resolution of 800 x 480. For speed and accuracy the laser unit is somewhat unique in that it has a four beam laser scanning unit. I could not find any information from Samsung on this system, but my guess is it allows a much faster print. Figure A shows the positioning of all the main cartridge and printer parts in the machine

The drum cartridge SCX-R6555A (80,000 pages) is listed for $191.99*. *As of 8/1/2014

Required Tools 1) Toner approved vacuum. 2) A small Common screw driver 3) A Phillips head screwdriver 4) Needle nose pliers

Figure A The toner cartridge (SCX-D6555A) is rated for 25,000 pages and has been covered in a separate instruction. The drum cartridge covered here (SCXR6555A) is rated for 80,000 pages. The chip for the drum unit is a worldwide version meaning it works in all regions. Printers based on this engine are the MultiXpress SCX-6555Nx and SCX-6545.

拥有密切的合作，通过他们将展会的信息发布到全球各地；

及创意，在全球市场上扮演重要角色，具有 1 千万美元的生产力。

5. 参加行业展览及会议推广本展览。

2. 在土耳其有 1500 多家生产商，100 万平方米左右的占地面积，超过十万名专业员工，生产值达到 40 亿美元。 3. 土耳其文具及办公市场已经被进口商品主导。品牌效应、品质、价格及生产国都是影响进口商、经销商及终端使用者进行采购的主要因素。 4. 土耳其政府已经投资数百万美元在教育系统及支持新企业上。每年土耳其文具及办公展都拥有来自中东、北美、欧洲及亚洲的专业采购人士前来，而且数目每年都在不断的增加。五、展品范围 ◆复印机和打印机设备

6. 加大在土耳其当地的宣传和推广。我们不但在土耳其当地建立了展会的工作室，还先后在土耳其当地最为知名的几家办公耗材的行业媒体上面投放英语和土耳其当地语言的宣传广告。八、参展补贴政策参展 RechargExpo Turkey 2015，最高可获得 3.5 万元的政府补贴。即将于 2015 年 4 月 1-5 日举办的土耳其国际办公耗材展览会属于境外展会，参展的中国企业也可以享受中国政府提供的这一资金补贴。具体细节请详洽展会相关销售人员。

ISC Conference Held in Las Vegas

影像耗材联盟大会在拉斯维加斯召开

影像耗材联盟（Imaging Supplies Coalition ，以下简称 ISC）在过去 20 年，一直积极打击假冒产品，得到了拥有丰富专业技术与知识的行业领导者们大力支持。在大会期间，洛杉矶贸易部门副助理局长 Jorge Garcia 介绍了边境管理系统，并且他们与 ISC 等行业机构合作，查处侵权假冒产品。国际犯假冒联盟（IACC 副总裁）副总裁 Travis johnson 提到，IACC 近年已采用更加成熟的分销模型，显著提高了执法官员和专利持有者的要求。其中，最显著的挑战是近年来向“面向消费者”销售模型；因特网极大地改变了假冒产品的营销方式。当局正在与淘宝网展开行业协作。 Actionable Intelligence 总裁 Charlie Brew 概述了 OEM 企业的市场份额情况，美能达很明显在今年年初走在了前面。 Mark Schonfeld 谈到了 3D 打印革命的法律方面，其对于债务法、版权法、专利法等方面的影响。重点是通过密切监控并落实认证系统来实现品牌保护。 Henry Kupperman 谈到了非洲地区的增长情况：“非洲是世界上快速增长的经济体之一。随着经济愈加成熟、开放，对于计算机相关产品的需求将会显著增长。对于影像耗材公司而言，非洲大陆充满机遇。”他介绍了一些非洲重要国家的相关知识产权法律，并讨论了这些法律是如何执行的。他特别提到了迪拜，认为其是中国向非洲出口货物（包括假冒产品）的一个主要交通枢纽。现在，一项新的法律已在今年 3 月份开始实施，该法律旨在防止商业贸易欺诈。此外，许多 OEM 公司在会上探讨了解决这一全球假冒问题的解决方案。

Chinese Print Peripheral Market Achieves Year-on-year Growth of 6.5% in First

2014 年上半年中国打印外设市场同比增长 6.5%，激光打印产品增长显著根据 IDC 最新发布的《中国打印外设市场季度跟踪报告（2014 年第二季度）》， 2014 年上半年中国打印外设市场整体出货总量为 700.1 万台，同比去年上涨 6.5%。 Canon Files Suit for Enforcement of Patent Rights

佳能在俄罗斯起诉请求强制执行专利权

其中喷墨打印产品出货量为 153.1 万台，同比微增 1.6%；激光打印产品出货量达 395.4 万台，同比增长 9.4%；针式打印机出货量为 151.2 万台，同比增长 4.3%。注：打印机包括单功能打印机及多功能一体机来源：IDC《中国打印外设市场季度跟踪报告（2014 年第二季度）》

IDC 中国负责打印外设市场研究的高级分析师王莎娜认为，从季度数据来看， 2014 年上半年中国打印外设市场需求较为稳定，其中行业用户采购需求显著，而中小企业及家庭用户方面，，由于受到外部经济环境的影响，购买需求有所萎缩。 2014 年上半年中国打印外设市场主要呈现以下特点： 1. 喷墨打印机市场有所下滑，喷墨打印机向激光打印机的转移速度正在加快 2014 年上半年喷墨打印机的出货量虽然对比去年同期略有增长，但是随着整体经济增速的放缓，SOHO 用户及中小企业用户对于此类打印机的需求量开始下滑。从 2014 年第二季度的数据来看，喷墨打印机市场同比下降 7.3%，预计 2014 年全年，喷墨打印机市场总量将会与去年持平。目前作业打印在中国学校正在被逐渐推广，学生用户对于打印输出的需求也在不断增加，这在一定程度上刺激了打印机市场的

使用 3D 打印机耗材关注环保据国外媒体报道，美国伊利诺伊理工大学的研究人员日前警告称，在不当的环境下使用 3D 打印机可能会导致健康问题，甚至会引起中风等疾病。在工业环境下，使用 3D 打印机时排放的这些粒子通常使用通风系统清除，但是目前在市场上作为单独设备出售的 3D 打印机并不配备任何通风系统或过滤设备。人如果吸入这些粒子后，这些粒子可能就会沉积在肺部或直接被血液吸收，从而对健康构成潜在危害，导致包括心肺死亡、中风和哮喘等疾病。据悉，3D 打印其实就是熔化塑料丝，并通过很薄的逐层构建来生产固体物体的过程。目前市场上销售的许多 3D 打印机通过一种被称作“加热热塑性挤出与沉积”的过程来打印目标物体，但是这个过程会排放直径通常不超过 100 纳米的超细粒子（UFP）。伊利诺伊理工大学研究人员布伦特·斯蒂芬斯（Brent Stephens）在其撰写的报告中称：“研究结果表明，在不通风或没有充分过滤的室内环境中，使用市场上销售的 3D 打印机必须小心谨慎。” 来源：互联网

3D Print Technology Used in Bone Joint Operation

骨关节手术首用 “3D 打印技术” 近期，河南省肿瘤医院为一位肿瘤患者，采用“3D 打印技术” 应用于髋臼肿瘤半骨盆置换的手术，使患者摆脱了疼痛。他的假体材料为钛合金，并在假体最终成型后喷涂生物涂层，使其与人体融合。重建患者骨盆术后，患者不适症状完全消失且下肢功能良好。据悉，以往该类手术的实施，主要依靠患者的影像学资料，进行手术分型和术前手术方案设计，但影像学片子的缺陷主要在于其平面化，因此往往需要医生有出色的立体空间想象力，才能保证手术的成功。而应用 3D 打印技术，却可以实现手术的“精准度”和“前瞻性”。 1 ∶ 1 打印出骨骼模型

It Will Take 5-10 Years to Popularize 3D Print

想要普及 3D 打印至少还要 5 到 10 年时间 3D 打印机和 3D 打印技术正在发展，但短期内这一技术的发展将专注于商业和医疗市场，而 3D 打印在消费类市场的普及至少还要 5 到 10 年时间。通过 3D 打印技术，用户可以使用塑料、金属和蜡等材料打印出 3D 形状的物体。近年来，已有许多厂商推出了 3D 打印机，而将 3D 打印技术用于手术和时尚也引起了外界对这一技术更大的兴趣。在这一市场面向消费者全部打开之前，仍有许多障碍需要克服，其

目前，3D 打印技术可能更有利于一些企业，包括提供 3D 打印软件、3D 扫描仪和 3D 打印服务的公司。这样的发展预计将在未来 2 到 5 年中到来，而届时医疗行业也将进一步利用 3D 打印技术。

“3D 打印”这样工作据了解，通过“3D 打印技术”，骨肿瘤患者可实现“私人定制”，患者所需要的关节假体会更具个性化特点，更适合患者本人，而不是像现在一样，无论肿瘤部位、年龄、身高等都使用统一规格的流水线产品。 3D 打印机使用的材料是粉末状石膏、钛金属、树脂、塑料等可黏合材料，且打印区域外置。一块是类似方形盒子的区域，用来装打印材料，打印时粉末逐层下降和喷胶，最终在中间形成一个固像，同时采用先进的喷涂技术，对定制的关节假体进行 Ti+HA 喷涂，未来可以有效骨长入，达到肿瘤关节假体与人体组织生物性融合。 3D 打印技术是以计算机三维设计模型为蓝本，通过软件分层离散和数控成型系统，利用激光束等方式将金属粉末等特殊材料进行逐层堆积黏结，最终叠加成型，制造出实体产品。信息来源 : 郑州晚报

巴斯利尔表示：“届时，随着全球开始使用 3D 打印技术去进行器官修复和移植，3D 打印的医疗设备将带来令人兴奋、改变人们生活的利好。” 使用 3D 打印来制作大型结构，或将这一技术应用于教学已有一些尝试，但这些应用场景的广泛普及还需要超过 10 年时间。这主要是由于使用这一技术的成本较高，技术实现较困难，尤其考虑到许多学校的预算有限，只能将预算用于更关键的用途。最终，3D 打印将带来比人们预想中更复杂的应用场景，这也是阻碍这一技术在消费者中普及的一大因素。巴斯利尔表示：“围绕 3D 打印技术的家用存在一个复杂的软件、硬件和材料生态系统。这些设备的使用并不像普通打印机一样简单。”

HP Releases Envy and Officejet Series New Printers

惠普发布 Envy 和 Officejet 系列打印机新品

赛迪网讯】为满足客户不同的需求而带来了低成本的选择，惠普发布了面向家用和商用市场的四款多功能一体打印机新品，它们分别是 Envy 7640、Envy 5640、Envy 5660、以及 Officejet 5740。其中 Envy 7640 是四款新品中个头最大的一个，该机配备了 125 页的进纸盒，而输出纸盒的容量则为 25 页。此外，该机还配备了自动输稿器，最高支持连续输入 25 张纸，以及自动双面打印。可带来 14ppm 和 9ppm 的黑白 / 彩色打印速度。默认黑白复印精度为 300x300dpi，彩色复印精度则是 600x600dpi。

最后要介绍的，是面向商用市场的 Officejet 5740 一体机，支持 8ppm 和 12ppm 的黑白 / 彩色打印机，扫描与复印分辨率亦与 Envy 系列保持一致 ( 平板大小也一样 )。该打印机配备了 25 页的自动输稿器，没有了 Envy 7640 身上的大尺寸电容式触控屏，但却提供了 4 个 USB 2.0 端口。

作为一款多功能一体机，Envy 7640 还提供了一个 8.5x11.7 英寸的平板式扫描仪，硬件分辨率 1200x1200dpi，扫描速度亦快至 15 秒。至于两款较小的新款家用级多功能一体机——Envy 5640 和 Envy 5660——其提供了许多相同的功能，分辨率和打印速度均与 Envy 7640 相同，只是去掉了自动输稿器。而且上述两款机型也配备了两个进纸盒，其中主盒用于存放普通纸，而第二进纸盒则用户存放照片打印纸。此外，三款 Envy 系列一体机均支持 Wi-Fi 和远程打印。打印速度方面，Envy 5640 比 5660 要稍慢一些，最高为 12ppm。

上述四款机型均支持桌面或移动设备，包括 iOS、 Android、Chrome OS、Windows 8、甚至 Kindle Fire HDX，均可使用新款 e-All-in-One 多功能打印一体机。据悉，新款 HP 多功能一体机将于 9 月 1 日起上市，其中 Envy 7640 起价为 199 美元。Officejet 5740 和 Envy 5660 的报价为 149 美元；而 Envy 5640 的售价则是 129 美元。需要指出的是，Envy 5660 将会是仅在美国地区上市的机型，其它三款则会面向全球供货。
