New Brother workgroup printers

Posted on July 18 2014 by admin

Brother International recently introduced two new workgroup printers into the marketplace. Both aim to better meet the needs of mid-sized workgroups in small and medium-sized businesses.

The HL-L9200CDW laser printer and the MFC-L9550CDW laser all-in-one devices use the following consumables.

Brother TN-349 Black, Brother TN-349 Cyan, Brother TN-349 Magenta and the Brother TN- 349 Yellow. All cartridges yield 6000 pages @ 5% coverage.

If incorporated in a comprehensive workgroup printing strategy, they will offer enhanced device access to a larger number of users. They can also be customized with workflow solutions and increase productivity.
Protecting critical information is a top priority for many businesses and that is why the new printer and the all-in-one solution are equipped with enterprise-level security features which are typically found on much more expensive devices.

Both devices feature the Brother Solutions Interface which enables developers to access the machine’s internal web services and create customized workflow solutions. For instance, it allows the integration of the PaperCut tool – a great print cost allocation tool that makes paper saving and cost reduction possible through rules-based printing.

Today, it is important that the workforce has mobile access to information and small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly turning to the cloud for storing and sharing information. Brother acknowledges this and has included the company’s Web Connect Interface in the devices which enables printing from cloud services.
Brother printer cartridges can be ordered from Ink Post online or call our customer service team on 1300 793 593.

Samsung’s latest and best tools for printing are its Smart printers, which are equipped with wireless technology to print from mobile devices.

Posted on July 14 2014 by admin

The printing landscape has changed dramatically over the last few years as mobile devices have proliferated in the workplace. The advent of bring your own device (BYOD) in many organisations has helped propel this trend, while other small business and home office users might simply love the convenience and portability of working with phones, both locally and remotely.

Whether it’s a home office or a small-to-medium business, a common conundrum for many office users is: how can documents, photos, diagrams, schematics, or any other type of content, be printed directly from a compatible mobile device in an easy and efficient way?

Samsung provides a wireless printing solution

Samsung has a solution to this problem by ensuring that its latest laser Smart Printers are all equipped with Wi-Fi technology and Near Field Communication* (NFC) capability. From its small, single-function mono laser printers that are great for a small office, home office environment, right up to the multi-function colour heromodel that can be used in busier multi-user offices, Samsung has printers in its range that are fast and capable of easily printing from compatible mobile devices.

It’s all about streamlined connectivity

Samsung laser printers with NFC, when combined with Samsung’s Galaxy range of compatible phones, can be used to print jobs directly, rather than requiring you and your employees to go through a computer*. Furthermore, the new Smart Printers are Wi-Fi enabled, so they can be harnessed from connected compatible laptops and 2-in-1 devices.

The new Samsung Smart Printers also support Google Cloud Print**, which allows printing from remote locations, as well as from devices such as Chromebooks. For Google Cloud Print, all you have to do is make sure your printer has access to your network and link the printer with your Google account. You will then be able to print compatible files directly from Google Drive.

Samsung Mobile Print

You may have heard the saying “there’s an app for that” with regards to just about everything associated with mobile devices. In this instance, when you say “I want to print from a compatible mobile device”, rest assured that Samsung has an app for that.

Samsung Mobile Print*** is an app that’s available for both the Android and Apple IOS platforms, and it’s a great fit for Samsung’s Galaxy range of phones. Many print tasks can be accomplished through this app, including the printing of compatible photos, documents, PDFs, and Web pages.

In the past, you and your employees may have had to email yourselves documents and photos, or transfer them over the network to a computer before printing them. With the Samsung Mobile Print app, prints can be sent directly from compatible mobile devices.

The way it works is simple: once you install the app, it will automatically detect compatible printers that are present on your wireless network, and offer an interface for sending content directly to that printer. The great thing about it is that it can also be used to capture scan jobs from compatible multifunction devices. Scans can be sent as JPEG, PDF or PNG files directly to a compatible mobile device through the Samsung Mobile Print app.

Mobile printing can be easy thanks to NFC

Many Android-based phones, including Samsung’s Galaxy range, feature NFC. This is a short-range wireless technology that allows two compatible devices to communicate with each other directly. Samsung has introduced this technology to its latest range of Smart Printers and multifunction devices in order to help provide a streamlined user experience when it comes to printing from compatible mobile devices*.

With NFC, the wireless printing experience becomes as simple as tapping a compatible phone on the NFC-enabled printer and selecting the function that you require through the Samsung MobilePrint app. In order to use it, you have to install the Samsung Mobile Print app, and make sure that the NFC and Wi-Fi Direct features are both enabled on your compatible phone, and on your compatible printer.

Once you or any of your employees tap your compatible phone on your NFC-enabled printer (there is a logo on the spot where you need to tap), the NFC chips in both devices communicate and work to set up the direct wireless connection between your compatible devices. It is then just a matter of selecting the printing or scanning function that you wish to perform through the Samsung Mobile Print app. You can even send a fax from your phone through the printer using the app.

The Samsung Smart printers available with NFC.

Samsung first introduced wireless printing as a major feature in its 2013 range, along with its Mobile Print app. This year, the company has refreshed its line-up with eight new NFC models that work with compatible mobile devices.

There are two single function mono printers, the Xpress series SL-M2020W and the SL-M2835DW.

Two multifunction mono printers, the Xpress series SL-M2070FW and the SL-M2885FW.

For colour printing there are two single function colour printers, the Xpress SL-C410W and Xpress SL-C1810W.

To top the range there are two colour multifunction machines. The Xpress SL-C460fw and the Xpress SL-C1860FW

The engine is fast, allowing both mono and colour prints to emerge at up to an efficient 18 pages per minute and the printers also make use of Samsung’s polymerized toner, which has small and uniform particles that help give printouts crisp lines and vivid colours.

The printer consumables for these printers.

The Xpress SL-C410W uses the MLT-D111S black toner cartridge that prints 1000 pages @ 5% coverage.

The SL-M2835DW has the option of the MLT-D116S black toner cartridge that prints 1200 pages or the MLT-116L high yield that prints 3000 pages @ 5% coverage.

The Xpress SL-M2070FW uses the MLT-D111S black toner cartridge that prints 1000 pages @ 5% coverage.

The SL-M2885DW has the option of the MLT-D116S black toner cartridge that prints 1200 pages or the MLT-116L high yield that prints 3000 pages @ 5% coverage.

The Xpress SL-C410W uses the CLT-K406S Black toner (1500 Pages) and the CLT-C406S (Cyan), CLT-M406S (Magenta) and CLT-Y406S (yellow) cartridges all yielding 1000 pages @5% coverage.

The HP Officejet 6700 Premium Printer

Posted on June 30 2014 by admin

The HP Officejet 6700 Premium.

All-in-one printers intended for the home and small office (SOHO) market tend to be quite expensive, due partly to the need for automatic document feed, fax facilities and duplex printing. HP, however, has managed to include all these facilities in the Officejet 6700 Premium, while pricing it at $279 in the HP online store this printer can be purchased for $170 if you shop around and this makes for great buying.

Design and Features

It certainly looks the part, with its large, textured black case and curves to its Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). The scanner lid lifts easily for placing single sheets but doesn’t have extending hinges, which help when scanning from books and magazines.

Controls are on a small, flip-up panel which has a 67mm touch screen at its centre with columns of dedicated touch buttons down either side. The panel is plastic-fronted, which means it gives a little more than the glass on a phone or tablet, but it’s quite sensitive and easy to navigate.

The main paper tray protrudes quite a way from the front of the printer and paper feeds to the top of the tray cover, which has an extension coming out still further – not a small footprint device.

Installation and Connections

Flip down the front cover and the print head carrier slides into view, so you can plug-in the four ink cartridges. They click into place in their holder extremely easily.

The black cartridge has a standard yeild HP 932 CN057AA (400 pages) and a high yield HP 932XL CN053AA that prints 1000 pages, each yield is at 5% coverage.

The colour cartridges are the high yield Cyan HP 933XL CN054AA, the Magenta HP 933XL CN055AA and Yellow HP 933XL CN056AA each yielding 825 pages at 5% coverage.

The Officejet 6700 Premium comes with USB and Ethernet support as standard and there’s a front panel USB socket which can be used with a USB drive to print documents and photos from, and to scan them to. Scans can be made straight to PDF file or to JPG image.

HP pioneered wireless printing with its various ePrint technologies and they include AirPrint support for Apple devices, and Wireless Direct print for PC and Android. Connecting to the online ePrint Center enables downloading of specialist printing apps, directly to the printer.

HP Officejet 6700 Premium – Print Speeds and quality

HP specs the Officejet 6700 Premium at 16ppm in black and 9ppm in colour, both of which are very healthy speeds for a sub $300 colour printer.Duplex print is at 3.9 sides per minute, and reduces the page size by around 10 percent, compared with single-sided pages.

Print quality is better than good across the board. Black text is solid with sharp, clean edges and colours on plain paper are bright and dense. There’s slight dappling on some solid fills in colour copies, but originals are better than most of the competition. Photo prints, from all sources, are well detailed and offer natural and vibrant colours, depending on subject matter. You’re only going to see better from a print engine with more than the four colours here.
Should I buy an HP Officejet 6700 Premium?

There aren’t many machines that can compare with this printer at the price it’s currently fetching. Brother and Epson each make SOHO inkjet all-in-ones, but for the same feature set and robust design, you’re looking at quite a bit more money and they both struggle to match HP’s plain paper print quality.

Verdict

The HP Officejet 6700 Premium is an excellent SOHO all-in-one. It includes most of what you’ll want in a small office, including duplex print, fast regular print, wireless connection for all kinds of mobile device, automatic document feed, USB drive support and straightforward control from its touch screen controls.

Need help deciding on a printer or wanting to save money on printer cartridges then call Ink Post on 1300 793 593 and we can show you how to save on your printing costs.

Take Business Efficiency to the Next Level with Brother’s New High-Speed Colour Laser Series

Posted on June 27 2014 by admin

Brother International Australia, a leader in home and business IT peripherals, has introduced a series of new laser printers and Multi-Function Centres® that increases efficiency, lowers printing costs and provides a safe printing environment for confidential documents.

Consisting of three printers and three Multi-Function Centres®, the new Business Colour Laser series can print as fast as 30 pages per minute (30ppm) in both monochrome and colour .

HL-L9200CDW, , MFC-L8850CDW and MFC-L9550CDW delivers a full range of networking and workgroup features expected by advanced users in today’s dynamic office environments.

Brother International Australia recognize that busy workgroups need a printer or Multi-Function Centre that works fast, humbly and reliably. Our new Business Colour Laser series does just that. The machines don’t break the bank, don’t need constant attention, last long and are future-proof. The machines can do everything you need them to do, while still being straightforward to use and easy to access from any device. Perfect for small business and workgroups in corporate environments who are looking for fuss-free machines.

End the waiting game

All new models are able to produce business-ready printouts at a high speed of 30ppm for both monochrome and colour, while the HL-L8250CDN and MFC-L8600CDW prints at 28ppm for monochrome and colour.

Scan faster with Dual Contact Image Sensor (CIS) Scanner

The two Multi-Function Centres the MFC-L8850CDW and MFC-L9550CDW in the new series also bring a unique scanning feature that reduces waiting time. Unlike other machines, Brother’s one-pass scanning uses the Dual CIS Scanner which only needs the original to be scanned once for a two-sided scan or copy. This helps to reduce the scanning or copying time.

See it on a bigger screen

Brother also sought to create an intuitive interface by offering customers up to 4.85-inch of Touch Screen LCD panel. This makes tasks such as faxing, copying, scanning and customisation of tasks more convenient. With this, customers are also able to connect, print and share their information easily.

Easier administration

Staff can also tap their contactless staff card to print or scan sensitive documents or perform other tasks that may require authentication. This is possible with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology in the MFC-L9550CDW.

Brother’s Secure Function Lock feature enables IT administrators to configure individual access restrictions by use and by function for up to 100 users or groups with a Web-based panel accessible via a browser, the settings can be easily configured by an IT administrator.

The support of Active Directory in the new Brother printers and Multi-Function Centres® also allows the administrator to quickly connect users already set up on an office network, instead of having to set up individual accounts on the printing devices.

Environmentally friendly

The new Business Colour laser range features Low Energy Standby, with 0.04 watt power consumption in Power Off mode (when the power is off but the machine remains plugged in). For more information, please visit http://www.brotherearth.com/en/story/standby.html

The worlds fastest colour desktop printer

Posted on June 2 2014 by admin

The world’s fastest colour desktop printer.

This is quite a call as for the past several years the experts have been telling us that Laser printers are faster than inkjet printers. They’ve also been telling us that laser printers print each page at a lower cost than inkjet printers.

Well until something else takes the crown, they’re wrong because the HP Officejet Pro X551dw is not just a fast printer; it has been verified by Guinness Book of World’s Records as the fastest printer in the world with a print speed of 70 pages per minute. That’s faster than any laser printer currently on the market.

But being the fastest it is also more cost effective to operate than a laser printer with a price per page less than half that of a comparable laser. The printer is part of the HP EdgeLine range of printers and multi function printers and uses the HP PageWide inkjet cartridges that fit across the full width of the printer. This technology eliminates the moving printhead making the unit very quiet in operation.

Combine this speed with the high level of connectivity and this printer is a highly productive unit for single users and for workgroups up to 15 users. The high speed minimizes queuing times pushing through more jobs per hour than other machines.

What does it do?

As a work printer it includes everything that a user could possibly want. Fast – yes. Economical – yes. High levels of connectivity – yes. In addition to ether LAN connection and WiFi connections for networking it includes HP e-Print allowing printing to be from remote locations by Tablet or Mobile phone using the internet connection.

The printer has two different modes of printing; Professional and General Office printing. Professional mode gives ultra-high quality printing with an output speed of 42 pages per minute (ppm) in either colour or black. Using the General Office mode you can print at up to 70 ppm again in both colour and black and white. Most users will find the General Office Printing mode to be of a sufficiently high quality to meet the needs of most applications. Both modes take just 9.5 seconds to print the first page. Automatic double sided printing is available as standard as is full width page printing.

Menu selection and input is by way of a 4.2 inch graphic display touch and swipe screen.

Paper handling

The standard input paper tray has a capacity of up to 500 sheets of paper ranging from through to envelopes and card-stocks in a wide range of weights and sizes. This capacity is doubled with the addition of the optional additional paper tray. The standard multipurpose tray has a capacity of 50 sheets of a variety of media types.

Power requirements

The printer operates with mains voltage and minimizes energy costs with a maximum power usage of 100 watts. Whilst printing, however, the average usage is only 70 watts. On standby the unit uses 9.5 watts and 4.5 watts in sleep mode.

How big is it?

The minimum footprint for the printer is 517 mm wide, 399 mm deep and 414 mm high and it weighs 17.3 kg.

What does it use for cartridges?

The standard ink cartridge can print up to 3,000 pages in black and 2,500 pages in colour.

HP XL range can print up to 9200 pages in black and 6,600 pages in colour.

These cartridges fit the HP printers; Officejet Pro X451dw, Officejet Pro X476dw, Officejet Pro X551dw, Officejet Pro X576dw.

Ink Post cartridges will supply these to you at very competitive prices and free delivery for orders over $75 to selected areas.
