TCD blog published a money-saving guide to those who think they spend way too much on printer and those who think there's no such thing as excessive costs management.
Did you know your laser printer may actually save you from infringing the DMCA. Yes, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that prohibits you downloading pirated movies and software.
How is that possible?
Guys from University of Washington examined BitTorrent file-sharing networks using specially designed BitTorrent clients to monitor the traffic on these networks. The researchers didn’t download any files, but somehow they received over 400 takedown requests - notices from the ISP to stop distributing that copyrighted content.
Funny thing is one of those requests was forwarded to a network laser printer implying that it was downloading something. A coincidental discovery that one may use it his favor, don't you think?
Want it or not, but the of all the printing technologies inkjets develop faster and wider. Inkjet printers have been successfully adapted for use in a variety of fields other than general printing of text and images. Today the inkjet technology achieved much greater speed of printing than it originally had.
Having matched laser printers, it is now threatening the king of speed print - offset press. At the Drupa 2008, a trade show dedicated exclusively to printers and printing technologies, major printer makers are showing new inkjet presses predicted to be the future of commercial printing.
This future is yet to come, but surely won't make us wait for itself for too long.
Today I analyzed visitor statistics, who comes from where and what keywords they used. It turns out there's another couple of printing depots (a link to only one ancient site, 'cause the other site is down). They have nothing to do with this blog, just like this blog has nothing to do with them. It's just a pure coincidence of the names.
It may look suspicious that I deny any connection between our sites, but it's not like that. It was a funny thing to discover, that' all. We are not along in the internet!
Well, this is it, TCD got a new home page. In my opinion, it got better in terms of both design and usability. I hope our customers will have the same opinion :)
Well, two more post on official TCD blog. The first tells about how inkjet printing technology is adopted into creating more efficient microchips and large-size displays. The other is about how a TV can be used to enhance the capabilities of the inkjet printer -- a new device from Epson and Philips.
On the TCD official blog I posted the first part of a big article on history of inkjet printers:
In the early 1980s, introduction of the laser printer met that need. By eliminating the need for physical impact against a ribbon, laser printers achieved much higher speeds and were able to work in almost silence. As personal computers grew popular during the 1980s, laser printers became the only acceptable choice for “letter-quality” printing, regardless the cost of several thousand dollars.As a responsible author, I did a research on the topic, from which a learned a lot of interesting facts about how inkjet technology as we know it came to existence.
However, the laser printer’s reign was eventually overtaken by a technology developed at the Hewlett-Packard. HP, along with Epson and Canon, can claim a substantial share of credit for the development of the modern inkjet, and we will consider the history of inkjets from the HP’s point of view.
Funny thing is, HP’s invention was not originally intended for personal computers, since when the project began in the late 1970s, there were no such things. Instead, HP was looking for a new printing mechanism for portable, battery-powered calculators, its most profitable consumer product.
The Photo R1900 implements a “groundbreaking” technology that allows for “smoother images and color control” coupled with UltraChrome™ Hi-Gloss2 Ink. The UltraChrome™ Hi-Gloss2, apart from common cyan, magenta and yellow inks, also features matte black, photo black, red, orange (replacement for blue) and gloss optimiser.In another article you will find out about the history of laser printers:
All in all, Epson Stylus Photo R1900 is said to produce 18,446,774 trillion colors. Such a tremendous amount of colors offers “a wider color gamut, natural skin tones and consistent color with a smooth gloss finish.”
...originally it all began from an experiment on image transition. On October 22, 1938, when American inventor Chester Carlson together with German immigrant Otto Kornei first transferred an image from a glass microscope slide to a sheet of wax paper using method later called electrophotography.Next post reveals what hazards laser printers may cause:
Canadian Broadcasting Company sponsored its own study on that issue. The research was conducted in three different locations in Winnipeg by placing particle monitors above printers in the offices. Basically, the results of this new study support those of the Australian study: laser printers do emit in large volumes ultra-fine particles that apparently originate from the use of toner.Read these and other posts at Toner Cartridge Depot blog.

Having to make a selection from a wide range of cartridges and toner is often stressful too. You may spend a lot of time studying and comparing each item before making a decision, you may even lose your sleep! Why would any man of sense need such problems?
