TCPglobal - news, views and issues on total cost of printing

Issue #0928/2 – As software packages are upgraded to include more sophisticated features and ‘look and feel’, there can be an impact on Total Cost of Printing. We tested Microsoft’s Office 2007 against Office 2003 to discover that Office 2007 could cost a user as much as 11% more on printing.

Issue #0928/1 – In a typically wide-ranging product launch, Hewlett-Packard has redefined part of its inkjet All-in-One strategy in a new effort to simplify the customers’ decision-making and overall buying experience. The new Photosmart range attempts to remove the worst of the numbers in the nomenclature (partially and for now, at least), instead setting clear product levels – Photosmart AiO series; Photosmart Plus AiO series; Photosmart Premium AiO series. Deskjets still adorn the wider product range and there are two new models there also – Deskjet F2400 and Deskjet F4500.

Editor’s note: TCPglobal wishes to apologise to Kyocera for an error that was introduced to the Total Cost of Printing charts in the article "Samsung joins corporate colour segment with new, faster colour laser printer - 32ppm CLP-770ND", which resulted in the FS-C5400 appearing to be a more expensive long-term option than it really is. The charts and text have been updated to reflect the correct situation. — END –
