WHAT’S NEW
Smart imaging
The scanPAD is a smartphone holder and scanning
surface designed to simplify the imaging and sharing of
documents. The combination of a scanPAD and smartphone
integrates the functions of a scanner, a mini photo
studio, an overhead projector and a hands-free holder for
watching movies or making video calls/selfies. Made from
lightweight aluminium, the scanPAD uses micro-suction
nanotechnology to keep documents flat and securely in
place. Flip the mat over and bluescreen technology lets you
take product photographs with a transparent background
– ideal for e-commerce sites. With all the intelligence in the
smartphone, the scanPAD has no wires or moving parts.

Mobile printer
With Dual-Antenna Wi-Fi technology,
extended battery life (11% longer
than the competition) and rugged
construction designed to withstand
drops of five foot, the Printronix
ML42 mobile thermal printer is
made for all-day operation in the
most challenging
warehouse
conditions.
Other
highlights
include a
high speed
processor,
extensive
memory
options, a
back-lit LCD
display, large
label-roll capacity and
a forklift mount kit. For customers
who don’t need supercharged data
transmissions over WiFi, the ML42 is
available in a Bluetooth-only version.
Sniffing the air
Computers, printers, carpets, seating and soft furnishings can all
impact indoor air quality, which is why more and more organisations
are installing air purifiers that remove allergens, asthma triggers,
viruses, bacteria and pollutants from the air. New models from
Blueair can be used with ‘air sniffer’ technology that continually
monitors levels of particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon dioxide and
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) so that you can react in real-
time to changing pollution levels. Blueair Aware sensors connect
wirelessly to the company’s new WiFi-enabled Sense+ air purifiers
and the Blueair Friend air monitoring app. When pollution levels are
too high just use the app to change Sense+ settings remotely. Early
in 2016, Blueair is launching its revamped Classic range with Aware
sensors built-in.
Print Pink!
Cartridge People is urging
businesses to send pink coloured
emails and print documents in
pink ink during October to raise
funds for Breast Cancer Care.
The online retailer’s Print Pink
initiative was launched by ex-
British Army platoon commander
Rick Martin-Bacon, who was
diagnosed with breast cancer in
2014 and is now an ambassador
for the breast cancer charity.
Campaign literature and free
downloads are available from
