Issue #0905/2 – Hewlett-Packard has made the task of printing photos directly from a mobile phone a little bit easier – for iPhone and iPod touch customers anyway – with the launch of its new HP iPrint Photo application.
Issue #0837/1 – Since last week’s brief review in TCPglobal of the resources available through the Xerox Sustainability Portal, the company has released its 2008 report on Global Citizenship and Epson has released its Global Environmental Positioning Statement, looking towards 2050. We summarise the highlights from the top 10 printer manufacturers, both achievements and initiatives.
Issue #0821/2 – Paper documents can only be accessed by one individual at any one time, making timely access by others difficult. Sharing by hard copying improves the situation but at the cost of copying and distribution, together with time implications where users are not at the same site. Electronic sharing of documents should promote easy and rapid access without the costs associated with producing and distributing multiple hard copies.
Issue #0820/1 – While undertaking research for an article on Lexmark’s recent launch of its new range of Home/Student inkjet devices, we were shocked at how difficult it is to find them in stores (article now to follow next week). So we decided that an impromptu survey was called for. In this article we analyse the share of ‘shelf space’ owned by each of Brother, Canon, Epson, Hewlett-Packard and Lexmark, together with the market conditions, strategies and implications. We see just how many Lexmark inkjet products are available in-store right now. It’s not a pretty sight – for Lexmark!
Issue #0820/2 - In a very interesting strategic move, Lexmark in the US is offering two free ink cartridges (carriage free) for every five cartridges that registered users buy at the Lexmark online store and return to Lexmark when empty.
