Epson, a global supplier of inkjet printing technology, has introduced the SecurColor inkjet printer, a solution for colour on-demand printing and labelling.

Designed specifically for high-volume hospital environments, SecurColor is being promoted as a suitable solution for hospitals looking to implement colour on-demand printing at the point of service, in the lab or pharmacy, or in any department where colour labelling can improve patient care and eliminate the risk of error.

Epson informed the SecurColor prints a variety of colour-enhanced labels, wristbands and other media on demand, in sizes ranging from 1.2″ to 4.4″ wide and offers options for hospital staff to print only one or many labels at a time.

Xerox has introduced two new office printers to help small and medium-sized businesses add colour to office documents.

The Xerox Phaser 6128MFP copies, scans and faxes, and prints up to 12 pages per minute (ppm) in colour, and 16 ppm in black and white.

The MFP comes with 600×600 dpi and uses Emulsion Aggregate High Grade (EA-HG) toner with smaller toner particles that enable improved image quality. In addition, access controls track costs and ensure colour use is appropriately managed, the company informed.

The Phaser 6128MFP allows office workers to complete daily tasks using a large front panel display. The MFP features include scan to e-mail that sends e-mail via a variety of networks, and a LAN Fax, which sends faxes directly from the computer.

For offices that require a single-function desktop printer, the Xerox Phaser 6280 colour laser printer offers up to 26 ppm colour print speeds and a first-page-out-time of 10 seconds. With the capacity to hold up to 950 sheets of paper, the Phaser 6280 includes an intuitive front panel with a toner gauge that allows users to check levels before starting a large print job.

Epson, a projector brand, has launched the Epson PowerLite G5000, the latest in Epson’s line of installation projectors designed to provide flexibility, performance and easy installation for executive boardrooms and educational institutions.

Offering XGA resolution and 4,000 lumens white light output and 4,000 lumens colour light output, the network-ready PowerLite G5000 utilises 3LCD technology to deliver advanced image quality, the company said.

The projector is also engineered to interface and integrate with sophisticated programming and controller applications, as well as work with modules and drivers for systems, including touch-panel screens and multiple content devices.

The company also informed that the product provides Epson Easy Management as well as RJ-45 connectivity, which gives system administrators the power to remotely monitor and control the projector via the network. In addition, the projector offers one-touch filter replacement for convenient maintenance.

Canon USA, a player in digital imaging, has announced a new addition to its line of compact photo printers: the Selphy CP780.

The compact photo printer is available in three colour variations. To coincide with the new Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS Digital ELPH camera also announced alongside, the printer is available in silver, blue and pink.

The company informed that the photo printer has been designed to produce images of a higher quality than previous models due to enhancements to the Portrait Image Optimize feature.

The Face Detection brightness correction and colour cast correction have been improved so that skin tones and faces will be produced with natural and realistic colours, the company informed. The printing process was also revised so that a 4 x 6-inch print can now be completed faster, it was noted. The card slots allow users to plug in memory cards or print straight from the camera with a USB cord.
