PUBLISHER'S MESSAGE DECEMBER 2015

Dear readers, I’m sure I’m not alone but I can't help but feel like 2015 was too quick to have passed by. It’s that time of year again--time to reckon with the swiftly-passed year and look forward to the brand new one, 2016!

We talked about change all the time, feeling and living it in this ever-dynamic society because, if not, we just become outdate and irrelevant, no matter how big, strong, solid, or famous. We cannot just ignore what is happening around us, because it is pervasive and disruptive. In today’s internet times, it is hard to create and keep loyal customers and business is getting harder and harder for the small players. The focus this month is to open up and reach out for the opportunities that may not register within the normal radar.

So as the year 2015 comes to its end, it’s time to reckon with what has being accomplished and present a positive outlook for the coming 2016. We, at Recharge Asia, are grateful and fortunate for the continued support of our industry peers, and we hope you have a great New Year, continueing the journey in good spirit and health.

Happy holidays!

HP May Buy Dell’s PC Unit Dell is still selling its PC division and it seems that HP is a likely buyer. Last week the imaging giant’s CEO Meg Whitman said that Dell’s pending acquisition of EMC Corp will create chaos, and this chaos may provide a purchasing opportunity for HP. Earlier the company was not interested in the business unit because it was too focused on its own restructuring, which will see it splitting into two separate companies. It seems that Dell’s PC unit will be a good fit for HP Inc., the company that will continue with PCs and other hardware, but its head Dion Weisler was measured in his remarks regarding a possible purchase, suggesting the deal may be considered after the finalization of the split.

Ink from Soot? Why Not! An MIT researcher has created a printing ink made from soot. The cheap printing material is a mixture of soot, rubbing alcohol, and oil, and can work with any normal printhead. Anurid Sharma says that he got his inspiration from his childhood in India, where pollution levels are very high. So, Sharma made a device that collects soot from a burning candle, using an ordinary computer cooling fan. Then the soot is injected in an HP C6602 cartridge, which has several large holes to allow the larger particles of the soot to fall out. Sharma is next planning to improve his soot collector, by using capacitive plates to filter out carbon from the atmosphere.

HP Splits, Questions Remain

MARKETING TRENDS

MARKETING TRENDS

HP split officially into HP Enterprise and HP Inc. as of the start of the month but the questions about the future of the two now separate companies remain: how will they grow? How will they be able to transform their operations and their clients?

While the idea behind the split was to enable growth, some say that it will remain a challenging endeavor.

The reality for the two companies is that HP Inc., which will focus on the hardware product line of the old company, will have the same problems as its predecessor – a supermature market for printers and PCs, with the only opportunity for growth in the face of 3D printing. The HP Enterprise business, the one for software and management solutions, is reducing its workforce and aiming towards growing automation in order to remain viable.

One industry researcher, Daniel Ives from FBR, says that the environment is challenging for all large players in the imaging and PC industry, and that next year may turn out to be pivotal for them. These big old companies will need to show that they can adapt to the modern environment, which is very different from the traditional imaging market.

Some questions specific for HP include whether either of the two new companies will invest in innovation and whether they will work together on large corporate accounts. Also, it is interesting whether HP Inc. or HPE will try to buy Dell and EMC, which are due to merge in the future. Another logical question is how the restructuring that both companies are going through will pay off and whether it will pay off at all. Finally, there is the question of what HPE is going to do about cloud computing and, perhaps more interesting, if the entry into the 3D printing market will save HP Inc.

Six Ways 3D Printing Will Change Work The fact that 3D printing is changing the face of more than one industry is undeniable but the tech also has the potential to disrupt the workplace in ways that we may not even see right now. Among the ones that we do see, however, are an end to the traditional concept of a day job and a growing prominence of creativity. It’s clear some job roles will become obsolete with the growing adoption of 3D printing but many people may decide to quit their day job to take advantage of new opportunities created by the 3D printing space.

Another possible change is a change in pace. It is possible, although by no means certain, that the faster speeds introduced in prototyping with 3D printing will bring with them a mental shift in other industries as well, changing processes and innovating.

Time and space will play a different role. Right now a lot of businesses working with physical goods need storage space to keep their replacement parts or whatever they supply their clients with, 3D printing will make possible printing these parts on demand, hence the need for storage space will decline. Fast deliveries, on the other hand, are likely to become the norm, driving further innovation.

Finally, according to Steven Pritchard, a tech expert, 3D printing has the potential to change the workplace in ways that we can’t even conceive of right now.

3D Printing for Healthcare Set for 15% Annual Growth The 3D printing market in the healthcare industry is seen to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 14.74% until 2019, a new report has projected. The report, compiled by Technavio, sees as major players in this field 3D Systems, Envisiontec, EOS, Materialise, and Nanoscribe. The growth of the market will be driven by new, currently emerging, medical and dental application of the technology, with the major challenge being high costs.

New 3D Printing Tech Makes Customized Medical Devices A new 3D printing method has been developed by researchers at the U.S. Northwestern University specifically for producing customized medical devices such as catheters for newborns.

140th Issue - December 2015

The new method uses magnetic fields to align ceramic fibers immersed in liquid resin in a way that will produce a patient-specific final product. The magnetization involves dusting the fibers with iron oxide and then applying ultralow magnetic fields to them to arrange them in a certain way.

This method’s value lies in the fact that it allows the user to control the mechanical properties of the printing material.

This will make it especially useful for more complex applications such as the making of biomedical devices.

Sendinaden Partners with Polymaker to Develop Fully 3D Printed Smart Masks “Breathe in deeply for a count of four, hold your breath and count to seven. Now exhale slowly for a count to eight, and repeat,” instructs David Hartmann, CEO and founder of Sendinaden, as he leads me through a series of breathing exercises.

I’m wearing the Pattern Breathe mask, his company’s first product slated for introduction the first quarter of 2016. Glancing at the screen of his smart phone, I can clearly see the patter ns of my breathing—from the speed and depth of each inhalation, to the way I’m using my mouth and nose, as well as other vital statistics. David acknowledges to me that the inter face is still a bit rough—a work in progress rather than a finished product.

“The algorithms are working really well,” he enthuses, as he removes my mask. “Now

we’re perfecting the user experience.”

I ’ m i n B e r l i n a t t h e B a y e r h e a l t h c a re t e c h n o l o g y accelerator to get a better understanding of the future of 3D printed consumer electronics, through a hands-on demonstration of an eminent and promising product, the Pattern Breathe mask. Consumer Electronics represents a $1 trillion (US) industry, one that is currently served entirely by injection molding, a traditional manufacturing technique in which hot liquid plastics are injected into a mold and then cooled to form the device housing. Capable of producing thousands of identical objects per hour, injection molding has served the electronics industry well.

However, injection molding is facing growing competition from a young and nimble newcomer: 3D printing, promising technology that delivers a promise of mass customization, where each product is unique to each user.

“Stress and breathing are highly interconnected,” explains David. “When we breathe too fast or too shallow we add to the existing stress in our bodies and this can cause serious health problems.” As he speaks, he takes apart the mask, showing the different components, ranging from the 3D printed casing, front panel and strap to the encapsulated electronics hidden inside. “It’s a two-way relationship. When we breathe well, we reduce the stress on our body from outside influences. We make better decisions at work and we sleep better. Good breathing is the cornerstone of a healthy and happy life.”

Sendinaden is betting that 3D printing will present a serious challenge to injection molding, and cites evidence that the traditional manufacturers understand this inevitability.

An example of this is Arburg, the German injection molding technology specialist that has recently announced it will expand into the 3D printing space.

“Wearable technology represents a completely different paradigm that is best served by 3D printing," remarks David. “We see a consumer experience where you walk into a retail outlet, get a Pattern Breathe Mask curated and customised for you, go shopping and come back 45 minutes later to pick up your finished 3D printed mask.”

David is not the only one who sees the potential in 3D printed user-customized wearables. Sendinaden partner Polymaker, a Chinese-based innovative producer of

high-quality filament for extrusion-based desktop 3D printers, prides itself as a leader in recognizing unique applications in 3D printing and providing resources and solutions to support the 3D printing community. “Working with Covestro, the leader in the production of engineering plastic Polycarbonate, we’ve brought exciting, new materials to the market that make it possible for functional, engineering ready objects to be printed via 3D printing,” says Polymaker CEO, Dr. Xiaofan Luo. “Partnerships with companies like Sendinaden ensure that these kind of ready-to-use 3D printed objects will reach the market quickly and change the way people view consumer electronics."

The Polymaker polycarbonate filaments used to print Sendinaden’s Pattern Breathe Masks are unique and ideal to the application in use, and are arguably what makes printing these masks with such quality possible. The strap which holds the mask to a user’s face is printed with PolyFlex™, a material that has excellent flexibility yet is easy to print, holds the mask firmly in place while providing good comfort to wearers. The casing and front panel are both printed in PolyMax™ PLA, a unique PLA material that is extremely tough and durable while still safe on

skin, perfect for a product worn on the face.

Mass Portal is the printer company that is supporting Sendinaden with printers. The quality of the printer compliments the quality of Polymaker's materials.

Sendinaden’s main goal is to improve the public’s breathing ability. “By encouraging a person to wear the mask during their commute, or an athlete during training, we can help them change their breathing habits to decrease stress or build better sports performance,” says David. “We’re passionate about bringing better breathing and, in turn, a better quality of life to all kinds of people, but particularly to city dwellers in Asia who face a long commute. They’ve got long periods of down time, and that time is being spent in a high pollution environment where they’re going to wear a mask anyway. It makes sense for them to take advantage of that time to change their breathing habits.”

Sendinaden believes that people worldwide are curious about their breathing patterns and wish to assess their behaviour with a tool that provides them accurate and detailed feedback. Their crowdfunding campaign went live at the end of October and they’re looking to build a strong community in this space.

Will the arrival of 3D printing as a direct challenger to injection molding change how we see and appreciate consumer electronics? It’s going to be an interesting race to the finish line, and hopefully we’ll be breathing more easily as a result.

To answer the question, Sendinaden launched its Kickstarter campaign on November 23.

Education Sector Drives 3D Printing Adoption

16

140th Issue - December 2015

in the classroom as part of students’ interaction with the world around them in subjects as diverse as science, geography, and art.

According to Ashish Panjabi, chief operating officer of Jacky’s Business Solutions, the biggest 3D printer distributor in the Middle East, the educational sector is the biggest single market for the machines. Demand initially came from universities but now all levels of the educational system are coming to see the benefits of the technology.

This opinion is shared by market researcher Gartner, which has reported that sales of low-cost 3D printers are driven mainly by schools and universities rather than by household users. In the future, says MacCormack, desktop printers will become omnipresent in schools and households, thanks to their low cost and good finished-product quality. “The revolution,” he says, “will happen in the classroom and not on the production floor.”

Study Says 3D Printing Toxic A study from the University of California has discovered that some 3D printing filaments may be toxic. The initial discovery was made accidentally by a graduate student who used a 3D-printed part in research on zebrafish. The fish embryos that came in contact with the part died, and this led to a deliberate study involving placing 3D printed parts in Petri dishes with zebrafish embryos.

The two 3D-printed items were done using two different materials: plastic in one case and resin in the other.

It turned out that the resin could be more deadly for zebrafish embryos than plastic, although in both cases the researchers noted a negative effect on the embryos from the presence of the 3D printed objects. Now the scientists will move on to examining the components of 3D printing filaments and trying to estimate their potential harmfulness for humans.

Schools are the major driver for the 3D printing industry at the moment, according to one industry insider, Conor MacCormack, chief executive of Mcor Technologioes, which makes a low-cost 3D printer that uses plain paper as printing material. The growing demand from the educational sector in turn is being driven by shorter production cycle times and lower costs.

A Car negie Mellon researcher, Xiang Cheng, has developed a new 3D printing tool called Encore, which will allow one to print on an already existing object, by this significantly expanding the applications of the technology.

The reason 3D printing is growing so popular with schools is that it offers “photorealistic” images that can be used

Encore is a design tool that tells the printer how the object on which more will be printed should be placed and

MARKET SEGMENTS

140th Issue - December 2015

where the printheads should start working. Essentially, Encore allows for the augmentation of existing objects, possibly creating new functions for them, preserving them for a longer time.

Another designer has covered another angle of this augmentation drive. Stefanie Muller and her team have developed a system that can remove parts of an existing object and then 3D print new ones in the same spots. This tech is called patching and is further evidence that the disruptive potential of 3D printing cannot be underestimated.

Chinese Co. Makes 3D Bio-Printer Chinese company Sichuan Revotek, a biotech company, has built a 3D bio-printer capable of producing blood vessels and even organs. The printer is based on the company’s proprietary stem cell bio-ink technology. The bio-ink, called Biosynsphere, will make it possible to create wholly functional, customized organs. Sicuhan Revotek, a subsidiary of Sichuan Languang, is now looking for international partners to advance its work further.

Zhuhai CTC Launches Riverside 2 Chinese 3D printer maker Zhuhai CTC Electronic has showcased its Riverside 3 printer, an SLA machine that uses the company’s proprietary system RiverOS. Few market watchers expected this printer so soon after the release of the first Riverside, but it seems the new printer is indeed an improvement on Riverside 1.

The new machine features a bended acrylic cover to reduce the risk of breakages during transportation, for example, and a 0.1 mm layer thickness. It has a build area of 125x125x165mm and weighs 14 kg. Its price tag is just 13,800 yuan, or $2,175.

Stratasys, 3D Systems Report Losses For Third Quarter The two biggest players in the 3D printing field are experiencing tough times right now, with patent expiries and an influx of startups. A decline in financial performance shouldn’t come as a surprise but it does raise questions about where Stratasys and 3D Systems will go from here.

For starters, both of them have pledged to cut costs and restructure their businesses. 3D Systems also said directly

that it’s done with acquisitions – the strategy that made it as big as it is but also seriously hit its profitability, just as it did to Stratasys. Now, it seems, both are willing to focus more on their ongoing operations. These will need to become more streamlined and more efficient, so the market leaders can maintain some sort of reasonable profit margins.

Stratasys Issues Quarterly Update Stratasys said last week it expects revenues for the third quarter between $166 and $168 million, with the net result expected in a range from a negative $1.5 million to a positive $1 million. This would mean earnings per share of minus $0.03 to plus $0.02. The company has suffered impairment charges and it might need to add more of these to its final financial report for the third quarter of the year.

Stratasys’ stock is covered by 17 analyst firms, with the majority of these having a “Buy” rating on the 3D printer maker. Three rank it “Sell” and four have a “Hold” rating on the stock.

XYZprinting Partners with Barnes & Noble for Educator Week Taiwanese 3D printer maker XYZprinting, the leader in lowcost printers, has struck a partnership with Barnes & Noble to showcase its products at 650 stores across the United States during Educator Appreciation Week. The event aims to increase awareness among classroom educators of 3D printing technology. During the week, XYZprinting representatives at the stores demonstrated how students can be engaged with the technology in practical, reallife applications, a press release said, and how 3D printing can contribute to a collaborative environment in the classroom. The company’s Da Vinci printers are the best fit for such initiatives being easy to use, not requiring any assembly.

Texas Instruments Launches New 3D Printing Chipset Texas Instruments has released a new chipset, including a DLP9000X digital micromirror device and a DLPC910 controller. The set provides a fivefold increase in speed for 3D printers and lithography devices, at more than 60 gigabits per second. It also features a total of over four million micromirrors, which means a 50% reduction in printheads. The set is optimized for wavelengths of between 400 and 700 nanometers – a range compatible

• CAM software to convert CAD models to a set of additive deposition instructions for the robot. Software is capable of six degrees of freedom, enabling true 3D additive manufacturing.

Brokers Rate Materialise “Buy” Half of eight brokerages currently covering the stock of Materialise NV, the Belgium-based New York-listed 3D printing software provider, have “Buy” ratings on it, three rate it “Hold” and one rates it “Sell”. The current market capitalization of the company is around $389 million, with the 52-week high at $11.50 and a low of $6.45.

• A precise kinematics simulator that interprets deposition instructions to validate and optimize part construction.

The latest Materialise financial report, for the quarter to June, revealed revenues of $27.70 million, exceeding analyst expectations of $24.04 million, and up 29.2% for the quarter. Earnings per share, however, were in the negative, at -$0.07. The brokers covering its stock include KBC Securities, TheStreet, Zacks, Pacific Crest, and Piper Jaffray.

The platform’s multi-axis tool paths enable, for the first time, production quality parts constructed with true 3D surfaces in variable orientations. The resulting parts have strength and aesthetics superior to those made with conventional Cartesian-based additive manufacturing equipment and software.

3D-Printed Teeth Repel Bacterial Plaque

In addition to expanded design possibilities, the Arevo Labs’ Robotic Additive Manufacturing Platform maximizes size scalability and production efficiency. Key enabling technologies include automation and secondary process integration within manufacturing work cells. Depending upon the size of the robot, the part build envelope is scalable from 1000 cubic millimeters to 8 cubic meters.

Researchers from the University of Groningen are working on artificial teeth 3D-printed from antimicrobial plastic that can kill the bacteria, which cause caries. The idea is to put one such tooth in your mouth and live care-free of bacterial accumulation. The researchers have already tested their creation in the lab and have discovered that it can kill up to 99% of all bacteria present in the human mouth without showing any signs of being harmful to the human tissues. Now the antibacterial tooth will need to undergo clinical trials, so don’t throw your toothbrush away just yet. One of its creators, Andreas Herrmann, is optimistic, however, believing that the tooth will be ready for use in the near future.

Arevo Labs Introduces First-of-its-Kind Robotic Additive Manufacturing Platform for 3D Printing Composite Parts The first-of-its-kind solution consists of a standard commercially available robot, composite deposition endeffector hardware and a comprehensive software suite.

Arevo’s solution is tailored to ABB’s smallest 6-axis robot, the IRB 120, though the scalable software can support larger ABB robot models and sizes. The additive end-effector hardware consists of a deposition head with advanced thermal management technology for processing highperformance carbon-fiber reinforced thermoplastics.

Arevo’s software suite includes:

Arevo Labs’ RAM Platform inter faces with ABB’s RobotStudio™ programming and simulation software to ease tool path generation from CAD files.

“We are excited to be the first to develop a robot based additive manufacturing platform optimized for composite parts,” said Hemant Bheda, CEO and founder of Arevo Labs. “Unencumbered by the constraints of conventional Cartesian systems, this platform is the dawn of the additive manufacturing work cell for the aerospace and defense factory-of-the-future.”

"Our ABB IRB 120 robot is perfectly suited for the Additive Manufacturing Platform, offering the high precision and repeatability required for 3D printed parts for end-use applications.

3D printing pioneer voxeljet from Friedberg (Germany) is celebrating a special kind of anniversary. The high-tech company, which has established a name for itself as a manufacturer of industrial 3D printing systems and as a service provider for the on-demand production of sand molds and plastic models, is pleased to announce that it is delivering its 100th 3D printer in November 2015.

The manufacturer has recently registered steadily growing demand for 3D printing systems. Hubert Stärker, Director Sales & Marketing at voxeljet, knows the reasons for this development: "Many customers who have their molds printed at our service center eventually want their own 3D printer, whether for reasons of flexibility or economy.

Another reason for the positive development lies in the many advantages offered by the 3D printing technology, which are gradually making their way into more industries and induce companies to purchase their own machines." In addition, the 3D printers are "made in Germany" at voxeljet's headquarters in Friedberg (near Augsburg, Germany). They are made entirely of high-quality components that ensure ongoing operations for many years to come.

InfoTrends Completes Study on Digital Production Printing Market Opportunities in China InfoTrends has announced the completion of a new study surrounding digital production printing market opportunities in China. The Chinese printing market is still growing in revenue, lead by the packaging printing industry. That being said, if packaging is excluded, the market is in decline. Like the whole economy, the print industry is moving to the “New Normal” period.

POD: China 2015 forecasts that placements of the color/B&W production printer will slightly decrease in 2015. After that, the market is expected to increase in 2016. A certain amount of quick printers’ business is still growing, and demands for replacements will continue.

InfoTrends has also found that China’s print industry is changing, from rapid expansion to a mature period. This will cause commercial printing companies to start thinking about the next differentiator. This will be the same evolution as in developed countries like Japan. These changes will drive the penetration of digital printers.

Additionally, this study will: • Size and forecast China’s digital printing market in terms of expected device placements, volume growth, growth by customer segments, and application growth.

• Identify market trends and demand drivers for digital printing.

• Uncover local market trends through interviews with top digital production printers, distributors, and print service providers.

• Identify and track top local printer manufacturers and distributor activities.

• Provide a guide to the distributions behavior in the changing local markets.

• Discover second-hand printer market trends in China

OCP: Franking Machines, the Other Business Inkjet Franking machines come in a variety of sizes ranging from small desktop units for franking a few pieces of mail each day to large, industrial-strength machines that can frank thousands of pieces of mail each hour. Meanwhile most desktop devices as well as certain high volume machines are based on inkjet print engines.

Machines are basically categorized by the volume of mail they frank: - High-volume: more than 2,000 pieces per day - Mid-volume: 200 to 2,000 pieces per day - Low-volume: under 200 pieces per day Inks used to frank mail must be specially formulated to meet specific country mail provider requirements. The inks must be blue or a certain Pantone, or red and fluoresce when exposed to a certain frequency of light so the mail piece can be processed using high-speed sorting equipment. Franking inks are also formulated to meet the demands of different devices. Low-volume postage machines, for example, can go long periods without printing, so they employ ink with more humectants to keep the nozzles in the print heads from being clogged by dried inks. Higher-speed machines may require inks with faster drying times.

There is a real aftermarket nowadays for high quality franking cartridges. OCP meanwhile has a broad range of inks for franking machines. Some of the major remanufacturers of franking cartridges work with OCP inks.

Static Control Releases 200+ Products in Third Quarter 2015 Sanford, N.C. – The third quarter of 2015 saw the launch of more than 200 products from Static Control, including more than 140 replacement chips for various OEM brands and regions.

Some product highlights for the quarter include a complete solution for drum units used in Samsung ® SCX-6555 printers, including the drum unit chip, carrier, OPC drum and wiper blade. The toner cartridges and drum units for this printer series are separate. An improved design for the replacement chip for the toner cartridge was also released, largely based on customer feedback; the new chip includes a longer connector that assists when remanufacturing cartridges with broken clips and provides a more OEM-like appearance.

The third quarter also saw the worldwide release of ink for HP ® 934/935 and 970/971 cartridges. These inks are the same used

by Static Control for its line of remanufactured ink jet cartridges.

Replacement ink had previously only been available to European customers. Also launched were remanufactured ink jet cartridges for Epson® T126 & T127 and T200XL cartridges.

Static Control Releases Aftermarket’s First OEM-Quality Polyester Chemical Toner PolySphere Toners Launch for Cartridges for Dell® 5130 Printers; More to Come Soon Sanford, N.C. – Static Control has released the first set in its PolySphere Toner line, exclusive polyester chemically produced toners (CPT) that offer OEM-quality performance. This groundbreaking offering is qualified for cartridges used in Dell® 5130 and related printers, with more formulations and cartridge qualifications to come.

A line of parts to assist with conversion opportunities for HP CE390A/ X cartridges, including a replacement waste bin, replacement drum bearing plate, a contact side end cap and a drive side end cap, were released. These cartridges have multiple conversion opportunities. Contact a representative to learn more.

There are many benefits to polyester CPT. It has a lower melting point than traditional toners, allowing the printer to operate at lower fuser temperatures. Since toner fusing can account for 80% of the total power used by a printer, polyester CPT has led to more energy efficient printers.

Two sets of replacement waste toner bottles were released. The first one is for use in select Kyocera® monochrome printers and consists of the bottle, cap, warning label and clear tape to hold the cap in place. Printer applications require two waste bottles per cartridges.

The second bottle is for use in Samsung ML-5510 and related printers and functions similarly to the OEM.

Polyester CPT is also more chemically compatible with color pigments than styrene and acrylic toners, meaning that prints are more vibrant and true-to-life.

The toner also has a smaller particle size, a key factor in efficient toners. PolySphere toners easily meet page yield, and exhibit optimum transfer efficiency.

A replacement developer roller for use in the Lexmark® T650 was released. It provides rich, dark image densities, and can be used as a replacement for a damaged or worn OEM developer roller. A full Static Control build provides darker prints and slightly higher usage than the use of field one-cycle components.

“PolySphere toners have such a strong performance largely thanks to the proprietary surface treatment we use,” said Erwin Pijpers, Senior Vice-President of Sales.

“The charging, flow and durability of each particle is affected by the surface treatment.”

Also launched was a newly designed replacement developer roller stabilizer for use in Brother® HL-1240 cartridges. The design was modified to reduce the chance of the stabilizer from unclipping, allowing the developer roller to move freely within the cartridge.

In the coming weeks, additional PolySphere toners will be qualified for a number of systems, including FujiXerox and Lexmark offerings.

Replacement chips were released for use in cartridges for the following printers: Xerox® Phaser 3100, 3260, 3610 and 7800; FujiXerox ® SC2020and P355/M355; Kyocera ECOSYS TK-5140 and TK5150; Samsung CLT-C809S; Canon® LBP-8100; Ricoh® SP C252, Ricoh Aficio® SP 5200/5210; and Lexmark CS310, CX410 and CS510. Multiple yields and regions are available for most. A replacement chip for use in cartridges for the wide format, ink jet HP LX 610 printer was also released. Visit Static Control’s Chip Center to learn more about Static Control’s comprehensive line of replacement chips.

“This is a huge achievement for our toner development and manufacturing team,” said Pijpers. “We are constantly developing the products the aftermarket needs to grow their business. This new line of color toners allows remanufacturers to offer an OEMcomparable system using the same technology as the OEMs, something that hasn’t been available until now.”

Canon Set on Entering 3D Printing Field After HP, Canon is the second major imaging company that has announced intentions to enter the 3D printing niche. This happened at the Canon expo in Paris, where the company said it is currently developing a 3D printing system. Like HP, Canon is ambitious: it’s not just planning a new 3D printing process but a whole integrated 3D printed environment using what it calls a 3D Integrated Software. The solution, says Canon, will include 3D scanners, newly developed proprietary printing systems and user-friendly digital design tools to make the technology accessible for even the most clueless users. Having said all this, the company added that it will take at least two years before it can showcase a final product, so it looks like HP will not have new immediate competition in the face of Canon.

Canon Presents imagePROGRAF PRO1000 Canon USA has introduced a new professional large-scale printer, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1000, which features a number of innovations, such as a new print head, a new ink set, and a new image processing engine. The printer is the first in a whole new series, which will complement the company’s lineup of DSLR cameras and lenses.

The print head of the new machine is 50% larger, featuring a lot more nozzles, allowing for faster print speeds without compromising the print quality. The new ink system is geared towards ensuring the highest possible print quality, providing denser droplets, which also helps reduce ink waste.

The processing engine, L-COA PRO, controls the placement of the ink droplets and the balance of colors, based on calculations of a set of factors, including color reproduction, tonal gradations, black density, glossiness, and graininess, among others. imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 will hit markets at the end of this month at an MSRP of $1,300.

Canon Pixma MG6820 Wireless Inkjet offers Fast Speeds, High Quality The Canon Pixma MG6820 inkjet all-in-one device, with a minimum price tag of just $99.99 offers high print quality and fast speeds, which would appeal to users needing a photo printer. The device comes with memory card slots, which can be used for printing from, however scanned images may not be stored on the memory cards. Unfortunately, there is no USB port but the printer supports Wireless PictBridge, which is available on all of its recent cameras.

Mobile scanning and printing are also available, as well as printing from the cloud. Canon also offers its printing app, which allows the user to give commands to websites including Google Drive, Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, and others, in order to send print jobs directly to the printer.

Perhaps the problem with the printer is that setup takes quite a bit of time, though it compensates for this with very good photo printing speeds, although non-photo speeds are not so impressive.

Epson East Africa Releases a Cartridge-Free Printer The new L655 ink tank system 4-in1 printer introduces Epson’s new duplex printing feature. When purchased, the printer also includes 11,000 pages of ink.

The printer is economical with its integrated ink tank. Quick and reliable, the tank efficiently prints double-sided A4 pages.

The General Manager of Epson Middle East, Khalil El Dalu, says, "Refilling using individual ink bottles is quick and easy thanks to fast ink topup technology, clearly labeled bottles and drip-free nozzles. The L655 introduces duplex printing, enabling offices to halve their use of paper, saving money and resources. The printer uses dye ink for color and pigment ink for black, which provides quick drying, smudge-free prints for business use."

Users can use Epson Connect and Wi-Fi Direct® to print from their devices without a router. With A4 ISO print speed of up to 13.7ppm, 1,200 dpi scanning, and the ability to make 99 copies of a page, the L655 is also time-efficient.

During the visit, they communicated with the chairman of Seine Group, Jackson Wang, and the Vice-president of Seine Group, Scott Zang, and after, they had lunch together.

Sanford, N.C. – Static Control’s partners of distributor global network traveled to Zhuhai, China to hold their annual summit. More than 15 countries were represented at the event, which included tours of Apex Technology facilities, and in-depth discussions of upcoming products and sales opportunities.

At the meeting, the founder of Ninestar and now chairman of Seine Group, Jackson Wang, expressed his welcome and sincere thanks to the delegation. As the first investor of Guangdong in Utrecht, Seine has the extensive support and help from the governments of both countries. Now, based in Holland, Ninestar has established the sales network covering the whole of Europe, and they are planning further investment and cooperation in Holland.

The delegation from Holland also thanked Ninestar for selecting Holland to set up its first branch twelve years ago and appreciates the effort for enhancing the communication of economy and trade between the two countries while at the same time stimulating investment by China in Holland, especially from Guangdong companies. In the future, the local government of Holland will offer better support and conditions for further development, and the embassy of Holland in Guangzhou will offer more convenient Visa services.

Before the meeting, the leaders of Seine with the delegation visited the exhibition hall and workshops, and introduced the history and future plan along with the advantages and core patents of the company.

All the visitors showed great interest toward it.

Attendees enjoyed the added benefit of attending the RemaxWorld Expo, which welcomed 463 exhibitors and over 14,000 visitors from around the world.

“We last met in April prior to our merger with Apex. We moved our annual meeting ahead of schedule a few months because we are excited by the new opportunities our expanded capabilities are making possible,” said Juan Carlos Bonell, Static Control’s Vice President of Sales for Global Distributor Markets. “Our distributor network reaches more than 15,000 remanufacturers around the globe, so it is essential for our distributors to discuss local strategies frequently to ensure we are providing the products and support they need to succeed.”

“It is a great time to be a Static Control distributor,” said Angel Brito of NGS, Static Control’s distributor in Chile and Peru. “Nothing has been taken away through the merger. Instead, we have been presented countless new opportunities.”

In addition to the business discussions that took place throughout the summit, distributors enjoyed walking the show floor and attending the RT Media Awards Ceremony, where Static Control was honored to win the iconic brand award.

“This summit was very insightful regarding the future. There are many great products in development and we look forward to all the opportunities they will bring,” said Masato Emori, president of Hara Trading, Static Control’s exclusive distributor in Japan. “Hara Trading is proud to be a member of this strong distribution network.”

Static Control distributor partners serve remanufacturers in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Korea, Ukraine and Venezuela.

13) Slide a 1/16" metal rod about 18" long along the drum wall until it meets the side wall of the dongle gear. Lightly tap the rod a few times with a hammer, rotate the drum, do the same until it comes loose. Normally it will take three to four taps for the gear to come loose.

Do the same for the contact side taking care not to place the rod anywhere near the copper contacts that bite into the drum. See Figure 23

12) Re-Install the OEM OPC Drum and metal axle pin. The metal axle pin should have a small amount of conductive grease on the tip. Remove the old grease and replace before inserting the pin. Make sure the axle pin is fully inserted. See Figures 21 & 22 If you are replacing the OEM drum, follow this procedure to remove the gears and install them on the new drum:

16) Apply a few drops of super glue around the inside of the new drum about 1/8� in from the edge. Make sure you leave space with no glue present for the contacts to touch the metal drum wall. These contacts must be metal to metal with no glue in between them. If any glue is in between the contacts and drum wall, there will be drum ground issues (solid black pages).

Install the contact gear. See Figure 26

After replacing the chip if it seems a little loose in the slot, place a dab of hot glue on each of the corners that you sliced off.

Why in India and Why in Chennai?

Why in India?

As you all know, India is a big and growing market. Laser printers and consumables have witnessed a sharp growth during the last 2 to 3 years. Then, inkjet consumables are making a comeback as low-cost alternatives to laser and color segment is growing very fast–both in laser and in inkjet segments. Indian market definitely offers attractive opportunities for both international players and their local partners.

Visitors Profile A large number of B2B partners, retailers, large-scale consumers of printer consumables etc. are expected to visit the 2nd Imaging Recharge Expo India-2016. The profile of the visitors: Vendors Distributors Resellers

Why in Chennai in particular?

Third party providers

South India accounts for nearly 50% of all the imports and consumption of printer consumables in India.

Chennai is close to all the 5 South Indian states, such as Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, with good access from all the other major India cities. Customers in South India are better educated, quality conscious, transparent in their deals and seek and develop long term business relationships.

Consumers AD Agencies CEOs, Managers, Executives and so on

Benefits from Participation 2nd Imaging Solution India Expo-2016 is India’s premium B2B platform where you can source endto-end solutions, meet specific project needs, generate leads and interact through one-to-one meetings to expand the existing and find new business opportunities.

South India is a happening place for printing industry (as much as it is for other businesses) where business relationships once established only grow stronger and last longer.

This trade show is a great platform where providers can showcase their old as well as latest products, innovations, and processes related to imaging industry.

The share of compatibles and consumables has witnessed a dramatic increase. Refilling is growing by leaps and bounds. This expo is an ideal place where you can find new customers and further strengthen old relationships.

Exhibition Promotion 2nd Imaging Solution India Expo-2016 is being aggressively promoted in India and abroad through the following channels: Print and Online (web) advertising Emails and EDM blasts to all partners in media data bank Banner exchanges Promotion through media partners Expo directory listings Trade show promotion Computer mall distribution Hoardings at select business complexes and markets Press releases Promotion through social media such Facebook, Linkedin, Webchat, SMS and mobile marketing We are promoting through both traditional and modern methods to maximize the quality footfall.

PUBLISHER'S MESSAGE

编者的话 亲爱的读者朋友们， 你们好！ 当翻开桌上那本已经放置许久的日历的时候，发现又到了一年的终末。日历早已 落灰，当想起它的时候，却也是将要丢弃它的时候。随着生活方式的改变和生活节奏 的加速，日历这种带着古典范的事物正慢慢被人们淡忘。想做的事情太多，而时间似 乎总是不够，所以连伸手翻日历都显得有些浪费时间。 旧的事物终究会退出舞台，与其感慨时光无情，不如思考如何推陈出新 ；就算过 去有遗憾，我们也可以在未来弥补，所以在迎接新年时更应该昂首向前看！ 新一年，我们也有自己的新计划。 2016 年 2 月 26-28 日，新一届的印度国际办公耗材展（RechargExpo & Imaging Solutions India 2016）将继续在印度清奈市的 Chennai Trade Center 展馆举行，本次展会 将仍然由办公耗材后市场两大媒体 RechargeAsia 杂志和印度 Imaging Solutions 联合主 办，展会同期还将举办印度办公行业内的奥斯卡典礼——Imaging Awards Night。清奈

2015 年 12 月

是印度南部最大的城市，临近印度南部的其他四个邦，而南部地区还包揽了印度全国 50% 的耗材进口和消费，因此清奈是在印度举办办公耗材展会的最佳地点。盛会当前， 如果您有志于开拓印度这一全球第二大市场，千万不要错过！ 2016 土耳其国际办公耗材暨 3D 打印展（RechargExpo Turkey 2016），将于 4 月 6-10 日在土耳其首都伊斯坦布尔与大家重复。去年的土耳其展盛况空前，以艾派克、纳思达、 湖北鼎龙、美国 MSE、韩国 iBlock 为代表的业内巨头汇聚一堂，也有来自美国、俄罗斯、 德国、希腊、赛内加尔、孟加拉、突尼斯、约旦、韩国、新加坡等国家的观众。我们 专门开辟的 3D 打印展览区也是展会一大亮点，作为有能力颠覆传统制造业的新兴技术， 3D 打印凭借其本身的魅力而拥有极高的关注度。 为了能更好地了解土耳其及周边国家的打印办公市场，同时宣传我们的土耳其展 会和参展商，现推出土耳其及其周边国家市场路演活动。我们计划，在展会前的 2016 年 1 月至 3 月期间，组织展会相关人士前往土耳其及周边国家进行巡回考察、客户拜访、 讨论沙龙等活动。土耳其及周边国家路演伙伴招募现已开始，如果您有志于开拓更大 的市场，请赶紧联系我们！ 印度、土耳其，只是我们 2016 年漫漫征程的其中两站，还有很多很多其他的事 业等着我们去完成。所以，时间对于我们来说是宝贵的，我们没有功夫去为已经逝去 无法挽回的时光而嗟叹，未来才是我们的星辰大海！

付出了巨大代价，转型前百度利润率在

转型，企业又有什么理由不去转型？既

50% 以上，转型后只剩下 20% 多。

然企业依靠原有的商业模式来获利已越

一、企业转型是否必要？ 转型能带来利润吗？这是耗材行业 每位老板都关注的事情。 温州一位做鞋服生意的老板在转型 致 O2O 业务后，2015 年年初盘点时发 现自己销售额有 6000 万，亏损却高达 500 万，并没有挣到钱。他因此而感慨： 在网上做生意比线下成本更大，更不易 挣钱。 想这位温州老板这样转型却赚不到 钱的人还有很多，但是这是不是意味着 企业不应该转型呢？ 在今年 8 月的互联网高峰会议上， 百度 CEO 李彦宏阐述了百度在三次转型 中所付出的代价： 第 一 次 转 型 在 2001 年 9 月 份， 百 度正式对外提供搜索服务。这之前的几 年里，百度只是作为一个后台技术提供 商把搜索技术提供给门户网站，但李彦 宏意识到，当自己的市场份额占到 8090%，却仍看不到任何利润前景时，就 说明企业的商业模式有问题。于是百度 决定自己提供搜索服务，追求更好的用 户体验和更优秀的技术。虽然这意味着 百度跟所有客户瞬间变成竞争对手，以 及丢掉原有的收入来源，但是一个痛苦

2015 年，为了更好适应移动互联网 及互联网 + 的发展，百度又进行第三次 转型，从连接人与信息转向连接人与服 务。这次转型的代价是两年当中净利润 从 53% 降到 29%，而且无论是市场和运 营费用还是技术上的投入都一直在增加。 面对窘迫态势，李彦宏坚定表态： 转型必须付出代价。他认为，目前大部 分人对于刀光剑影的 O2O 并不理解。在 移动时代，O2O 业务是无比重要的资产， 百度正在尝试为用户提供从搜索到交易 完成的整体式服务。他说：“当你看到 转型机会，会更愿付出短期代价——也 许这意味着股票下跌和利润越来越薄， 但你知道，你为它做了正确的事情。” 百度以及李彦宏的所作所为，在很 大程度上已经可以揭示转型对于新时代 的企业有多么重要了。不仅如此，事实 还告诉我们，企业转型不仅仅是随心而 动，而且还是顺势而为。 2015 年 3 月十二届全国人大三次会 议上，李克强总理在政府工作报告中首 次提出“互联网 +”行动计划。 “互联网 +”的本质就是高效率整 合低效率，核心是降低成本。利用 O2O 降低营销成本，同时获取用户反馈来改 进和优化产品。另 外从用户的痛点切 入，比如“看病难、 上学难”等问题， 所以互联网医疗、 互联网教育才那么 容易获得风投的热 捧，简简单单一个 挂号网都能获得 1

来越难，那么转型就一定是必需之举。 二、用互联网思维看待耗材行业 1. 产品定价 耗材行业的产品定价，是综合考虑 原材料、渠道代理、人工成本等多因素 后制定的价格。由于产品同质化严重， 竞争激烈，现在许多公司发现销量大增， 利润却下降，因此会降低价格，导致利 润大减。这体现了现有的商业模式并不 适合今天的市场变化。 互联网产品的定价一定要和成本脱 钩。利用数据能源，亲近成本定价。 海尔集团负责人张瑞敏近年曾经先 后九次去青岛的一家企业考察。该企业 是一家做了 30 多年的鞋服企业，成功地 进行了全面的生态转型。 在转型以前，该企业的产品卖不掉 就只能滞留在渠道里。一件服装从生产 线出来标价 200 块，到商场却要卖 2000 块，定价当中有一半是渠道成本。转型后， 企业建立起一个全新的工厂，采用改革 后的生产模式。若有客户想做一件西装， 公司先把尺寸量好，后把所有的数据变 成一个完整的产品需求扔到生产线上， 一个礼拜以后便能做出定制西装。 该工厂叫做“3D 智能服装工厂”， 现在一天可以接受 2000 件单品预订。当 这 2000 个单品数据扔到网上的时候，意 味着她的供应链、数据计算、物流全部 要进行再造。这意味着她改变了传统服 装企业大规模集约化生产的逻辑，舍弃 了生产标准款式来获取利润的模式，由 大规模定制向个性化定制转型，创新生 态圈盈利模式。 C2C、B2C 的格局，将世界变平坦，

市场动态 HP Finally Splits

正式分拆！大惠普时代终结 美国当地时间 10 月 31 日消息，惠普公司正式 拆分为两家企业。根据拆分方案，原公司将划 分为独立上市的“惠普公司”与“惠 普企业”，前者经营个人电 脑和打印机业务，后者专注 于数据存储、软件和企业服 务等。 现任首席执行官梅格·惠特曼将出任“惠普企业”首席执行官， 分管个人电脑业务的高管戴恩·韦斯勒出任“惠普公司”首席执 行官。 惠特曼表示，实现拆分后，两家企业将独立运营，各自将更 多精力集中于细分业务，“有更多的灵活性应对不断变化的市场”。 惠普 1939 年由比尔·休利特和戴夫·帕卡德在美国加利福尼 亚州帕卡德家的车库里创建，逐渐成长为全球顶尖的个人电脑厂 商。不过，全球个人电脑和打印机业务的萎缩也让这家老牌高技 术企业面临巨大发展压力。 美国高德纳咨询公司分析师汤姆·比特曼说，惠普寻求拆分 符合眼下做精做细的技术发展趋势，正如多年前市场氛围偏好规 模一样。 “现在的市场需要（企业）朝这个方向前进，变得比（前首 席执行官）卡莉·菲奥里纳时代更专注、更灵活，”比特曼说， “之前的时代，对（惠普）来说至关重要的是如何与ＩＢＭ竞争， 而非亚马逊公司。” 一段时间以来，惠普一直被视作美国高技术领域的先锋和硅 谷的标志性企业，引领市场潮流。不过，一些业内人士如今已经 将它看作被谷歌、苹果等新兴高技术巨头超越的“恐龙”。 美国福里斯特研究公司分析师彼得·伯里斯认为，惠普公司 先后错失了互联网时代和移动互联时代的发展机遇，没有根据市 场适时调整发展战略，逐渐丧失竞争力。如今，拆分前的惠普市 值大约 500 亿美元，还不及其年经营收入的一半，远低于脸书和 苹果的 3000 亿美元和近 7000 亿美元市值。 这家明星企业的下坡路，也反映出行业快速变革步伐对老牌 高技术企业带来的严峻挑战。同样的趋势下，美国微软公司不得 不调整推广软件的策略，戴尔公司则将精力从个人电脑转向企业 数据存储服务，ＩＢＭ也早已出售个人电脑业务，转战数据分析、 网络安全和云计算领域。 对于拆分动作能否为惠普带来新气象，业内人士没有过于乐观。 “既然已经失去了曾经依靠规模拥有的议价能力，他们也就 没有了惠普曾经拥有的影响力，”行业分析师鲍勃·恩德勒说，“惠 普会变成什么样，谁都不清楚。”

HP Splits, Questions Remain

惠普的十字路口：一分为 二后何去何从？ 庞大而臃肿的惠普帝国终于在近日正式分拆，变为各 自独立上市的惠普企业（HP Enterprise）与惠普公司（HP Inc.），而这两家新生的企业在还未来需要解决一些新的 问题：分拆后如何各自发展壮大？如何改进业务？如何更 好地服务客户？ 惠普进行分拆的初衷是要促进各个业务更有效率地发 展壮大，但是有舆论称，惠普这一愿望实现起来非常艰难。 现实是，保留了个人电脑及打印业务的“老”惠普公司， 其所面对的市场拥有的发展空间十分狭小，只有 3D 打印 能成为可靠的业务拓展领域；而提供企业管理服务的“新” 惠普企业，分拆后将会展开“轰轰烈烈”的裁员计划，数 万人将因此遭殃，同时还要致力于提升自动化能力以保持 竞争力。 FBR 资本市场分析师丹尼尔·艾维斯（Daniel Ives） 表示，如今的行业大环境不利于成像及个人电脑领域里的 大型企业，而来年将会成为决定它们未来的关键时段。这 些大公司必须证明自己能够适应现今的市场环境，而如今 的市场与过去相比已经有了翻天覆地的变化。 除了要面对大环境的挑战，两家惠普还要面对的问题 包括：是否要在产品及服务创新方面投资？是否在大企业 客户的项目上展开合作？是否要收购戴尔？如何清偿各自 的债务？惠普企业在云计算领域还会有什么动作？惠普企 业是否会进入 3D 打印领域来帮助惠普公司？ 总之，分拆只是手段而不是目的。惠普这家曾经的巨 无霸，现在已成为了两家“小霸王”，而它们的未来仍然 扑朔迷离，它们的竞争对手仍然强大无比。出来混，是生 是死要自己决定，路怎么走要自己挑。

参加联谊会的还有来自天津复印机协会 的友人，本次聚会共有 30 多位行业人士 到场。 在天复所刘惠玲所长的带领下，大 家首先参观了该所的实验室。该实验室 拥有全套的办公设备检测设备，而且在 环境、噪声、安全、磁测等项目中表现 突出，有实力为对耗材产品提供充分的 技术服务支持。有人对此发表评论：将 科技注入民营产品，一定能大大提高耗 材行业的技术水平。 参观完毕后，刘所长向大家介绍了 近期在北京九华山庄举办的 OA 大会有 关情况，主要内容包括三点：1. 新形势 下的行业出路：大家抱团打天下，寻求 发展商机；2. 喷墨与激光打印机的市场

一、定位准确，量力而行 企业要有战略性思考，必须找好公 司定位。现在有的企业试图多元化，这 种做法是可行的，但是需要大投入，耗 费大量的人力物力，而且只有最终能赚 钱才算有效，因此对企业的硬实力有很 高要求；若企业没有实现多元化的实力， 也可以走专业化的道路，一样可以取得 成功。正如北方办公市场总监高龙所说： “把自己的事情做好了就行。”就算只 做某一个型号的成像卡盒，能够做到专 业、做到精致，也是极好的！总而言之， 先确定公司定位，再努力去实现，坚持 很重要！

三、中层干部很重要 企业想要迅速发展，必须保持自身 的稳定性。仅仅依靠个别人的努力无济 于事，建设完善的人才梯队才是重中之 重，而中层干部就是公司的中流砥柱。 中层干部在企业中往往能够发挥承上启 下的作用，为企业提供良好的区域管理。 要调动中层干部的积极性，仅靠发奖金 起不到太大作用，而要灵活机动，用新 鲜的方式激励中层干部，如将中层干部
