All you can print
The way consumers pay
for ink is changing with
the launch of subscription
services like HP’s Instant
Ink in the US and Cartridge
World’s Infinity in the UK.
Infinity gives consumers a
Brother inkjet all-in-one and
‘unlimited’ ink for a monthly
subscription charge and no
upfront costs other than a £25
returnable deposit. When a
customer needs more ink, they
just take the empty cartridge to
their local Cartridge World store
and pick up a replacement.
There are three standard
Infinity packages to choose
from, all subject to a Fair Usage
policy: Infinity, costing £9.99
per month for an all-in-one and
‘unlimited’ ink; Infinity Plus,
costing £11.99 for a wireless
device and ‘unlimited’ ink; and
Infinity Extra, costing £14.99 for
‘unlimited’ ink and a wireless
MFP with mobile printing/
scanning, internet connectivity
and a touchscreen colour LCD.
Cartridge World also offers
Infinity Starter (£7.99 per month),
which provides ‘unlimited’ ink for
an existing printer.
Infinity is currently available
at 17 Cartridge World stores
including Cartridge World Slough.
Owner Ian Chai said:
”Depending on use we reckon
Cartridge World Infinity could
save home computer users
up to £400 a year. Another
major advantage is that we
also maintain the printer, which
means if it breaks, as long as
it’s not through misuse, we
will either fix or replace it at no
extra charge to the customer.”

Vendor-neutral consumables monitoring
Xerox has launched a new cloud-based service for the
monitoring and replenishment of toner and other consumables
used in leading brands of network printer and MFP.
Xerox Supplies Services (XSS), downloadable as a desktop
application for one or more PCs, automatically discovers compatible
devices and polls live data to both the customer and reseller.
This allows replacement cartridges to be despatched on a just-in-time basis.
XSS can also be used to trigger servicing alerts.
Xerox Supplies Services can be used to monitor Xerox machines as well as models from other
manufacturers. The latter can be replenished using the Xerox Replacement Cartridge range of
competitively priced compatible supplies.
Print management key to energy savings
Nuance is advising
businesses to implement
cost- and energy-saving print
management solutions, as
Quocirca research shows that
45% of organisations consider
reducing energy consumption
to be a key challenge.
In a Nuance-sponsored
whitepaper,
A Sustainable print
agenda
, research and analyst
company Quocirca points out
that businesses must change
their print culture if they are to
succeed in their quest to reduce
energy consumption and carbon
emissions.
Its study reveals that printing
is still largely uncontrolled in UK
organisations:
n
55% of respondents have no
insight into their paper and
MFP use;
n
only one third of organisations
enforce a print policy, even
though 80% have one in place;
n
more than half of
organisations don’t have rules
to regulate colour printing; and
n
only 20% of large
organisations route large print
jobs to the most appropriate
device for the task.
Canon Europe has announced
the first of its UK and Irish
partners to achieve European
Managed Print Services (MPS)
Accreditation.
The list of accredited
companies includes Systems
Technology, Vision PLC, Azzurri
Communications, Bryan S Ryan,
Condor Office Solutions Ltd, DMC
Business Machines PLC, Apogee
Corp Ltd, Alternative, M2 and
IT@Spectrum.
The accreditation developed
by MPS consultancy The
Photizo Group validates that
an organisation has the ability
to reduce printing costs,
improve productivity, enhance
document security and increase
sustainability through the
delivery of MPS.
Canon introduced the
programme so that businesses
could identify partners that
offered the highest standards
of MPS delivery and customer
care. Simon Green, head
of IT at Apogee, told sister
magazine
PrintIT Reseller
that
the accreditation would give
customers confidence in its
abilities.
He said: “Part of the drive
is to differentiate ourselves
so that we can demonstrate
our competence within MPS.
Our customers can gain
satisfaction and comfort from
the fact that we have been
down the accreditation route
and have demonstrated that we
possess the skills, processes
and people that can meet
their requirements. Customers
in the past have had little to
differentiate good from bad
providers in the market. This
accreditation gives them the
reassurance they need.”
Green expects recognition
of Apogee’s service delivery,
technical competence and MPS
processes to help it attract even
more MPS business in the future.
“A large and ever growing
proportion of our engagements
have an MPS element in some
way, shape or form. We only see
this increasing in the future.
I personally believe that the
market of the future will be led
by those organisations that
are proactive in understanding
how MPS can add value to their
customers; ensure that they are
capable of delivering that value;
and have a demonstrable track
record in doing so,” he said.

A new report from Photizo Group,
The Future of
Printing as Personal Computing Evolves
, warns
that the ubiquity of mobile devices is hastening
the transformation of paper-centric workflows
to electronic business processes that eliminate
the need to print. It points out that although
mobile printing is a growing market, it is unlikely
to compensate for diminishing desktop print
volumes. It also emphasises the need to simplify
and universalise the print functionality on
smartphones and tablets and slow down the
inevitable adoption of non-print alternatives for
viewing and sharing documents.
