Faster and more
powerful
Samsung is targeting the
retail and financial services
industries with its powerful
new ProXpress C30 series
MFPs. The three models in
the range deliver performance
enhancements across the
board, including faster print
speeds (30ppm vs 26ppm
on previous models) and a
50% faster 800MHz dual CPU
processor. Paper capacity is
now 1,400 sheets and toner
yield has risen to 8K with the
high yield cartridge (5K as
standard).
Small but perfectly formed
Canon’s new 27 pages per minute mono
laser printer is designed for customer-
facing environments in hospitality, retail
and banking environments. Despite its
small size, the i-SENSYS LBP151dw is
packed with time-saving features including
PCL5e/6 support; WiFi connectivity;
and mobile printing via the Canon Print
Business app (Android/iOS), Google Cloud
Print and the Mopria Print Service for
Android users.

dedicated photo scanner that can
also scan documents up to A4 in
size. It automatically detects when
a photo or document is placed

300dpi. It takes two seconds to
digitise a 4 x 6 inch print and 5
seconds to process an A4 page.
Supplied software includes Plustek
ePhoto for image enhancement
and Presto! Page Manager 9 for
creating searchable PDFs. The
scanner costs £130.00
Sharp has completed the refresh of its A3 line-
up with the launch of three new MX Essential A3

and MX-4050N have print speeds of 30, 35 and
40 pages per minute; a 10.1in customisable
touchscreen; support for media up to SRA3 and
300gsm; and an entry-level pull print solution,
which stores print jobs for authentication
and release from up to five networked MFPs
without the need for a print server. Optional
extras include finishing solutions, a wireless
LAN adapter, direct USB printing of Microsoft
Office files and Sharp’s OSA solutions platform.
Sharp’s new line-up also includes the MX-
3070N, MX-3570N and MX-4070N. These
‘Advanced’
versions, as
standard, come with stapling;
Office Direct Print; scan to searchable PDF and
Office; and a motion sensor that detects when

from sleep mode.

economical

MFPs is a new unified Scan
Center app, which enables
users to scan a paper
document and route the
file to multiple destinations
simultaneously, such as email
addresses, network folders, FTP
sites, fax machines, electronic
document archives and other
secure network locations.
Lexmark says that with the
largest input/output capacity
and the most flexible media
support of any A4 color laser
MFP, the top of the range CX860
rivals the capabilities of A3
products.
World first
Mcor describes its ARKe 3D printer – a CES
2016 Best of Innovation Awards Honoree
– as the world’s first full colour desktop 3D
printer. Mcor says it is six times cheaper, four
times faster and half the size of other 3D
colour printers and, because prints are made
from paper and glue, the printer is office-safe
with no harmful particle emissions or toxic
chemicals. The ARKe incorporates Selective
Deposition Lamination 3D printing technology
and a 4800 x 2400 dpi colour inkjet printer
for colouring output. The printers are available
with a choice of covers and cost £5,995.
