PRINTITRESELLER.UK 27 WHAT’S NEW Energy-efficient ePaper signage Sharp NEC Display Solutions Europe has unveiled advancements in its energy-efficient ePaper technology, developing larger sizes and outdoor-compatible solutions. As a digital alternative to paper posters, new sizes are appropriately categorised using the standard DIN paper format: A3 (20”), A2 (28”), A1 (40”) and A0 (57”). Currently on the market in two sizes, the EP-C131 (13.3”) and EP-C251 (25.3”), and new larger sizes will open wider application opportunities. Even in very bright environments, the Sharp ePaper display impresses with remarkably brilliant images in full colour, enhanced by ACeP performance. Comparable to paper, there is no blue light nor reflection, creating a very comfortable viewing experience. With no backlight, the ePaper display has no power demands when displaying content and only requires minimal power when content changes. Featuring an integrated System on Chip (SoC), the configuration of the device settings and the display of new content is easy and flexible through selected CMS partners or via USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, using an intuitive online tool or an app for mobile devices. www.sharpnecdisplays.eu A3+ inkjet printer The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-310, a new product in the large-format inkjet printer series, features 10-colour pigment ink for A3+ printing, which combines high photographic image quality, light-fastness and abrasion resistance. The new LUCIA PRO II inks, which are common to the higher-end models, use a pigment that is resistant to UV rays and does not deteriorate easily. As a result, the light resistance of printed materials reaches up to 200 years, enabling longterm, archival storage. In addition, when printing on glossy paper, the wax added to the ink smooths the surface, making the printed materials highly resistant to abrasion. It also prevents scratches during post-printing operations such as framing and transportation, improving the ease of handling printed materials. Styrofoam used in product packing for the previous model has been replaced with recyclable corrugated cardboard and pulp moulds, reducing the amount of single-use plastic. www.canon.co.uk Kodak Alaris expands capabilities of popular scanner series Kodak Alaris has announced a major refresh across its portfolio of document scanners. Upgrades to the KODAK S2085f Scanner, the S3000 Series, and the S3000 Max Series Scanners provide an expanded range of flexible options designed to meet evolving customer needs. These upgraded scanners provide exceptional speed and accuracy along with unmatched flexibility to deliver seamless and versatile workflow automation in any business context. Building on a legacy of industryleading image quality, these scanners offer several image processing modes that are unique in the scanner market. To get the most value from each scanner, users can easily switch between imaging modes to optimise scanning operations for their specific workflows. Host image processing optimises scanning speed by leveraging the resources of an attached PC, while onboard image processing reduces demands on the PC to free up resources for other operations while scanning. Host image processing mode is often preferred in high-volume production scanning environments where speed is paramount. The new models also support the standards and requirements of the US Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiative (FADGI) out of the box, and they provide a simple switch to enable FADGI processing mode when necessary. Megan Bevilacqua, Senior Product Manager at Kodak Alaris, said: “This latest refresh builds on our long history of leadership in the document capture space and further enhances our broad scanner portfolio, combining unparalleled ease of use with proprietary features to make it easy for users to capture paper-based information and deliver the data into core business applications, quickly and accurately. With the introduction of multiple image processing modes, we can provide our customers with much greater flexibility to support their business and enable productivity growth that lasts.” www.alarisworld.com Tablet integrated desktop label printer BIXOLON has launched the XQ-840ll integrated all-in-one tablet and desktop label printer, which is the second generation of its 8-inch Android tablet mounted 4-inch (118 mm) desktop label printer.
