Proect 365 #62: 030310 A Manky Wine Gum?


Image by comedy_nose
And here for today is another random object.

Any guesses on this one? A manky wine gum? A plastic moulding? A stab vest for an action man?

It’s actually a lump of cyan solid ink.

Sadly, teachers (and kids I guess) have a massive love affair with colour printing. "It must be colour" they cry! It’s better quality! (It isn’t) It engages the children better! (It doesn’t) It’s easier for dyslexics to read! (It isn’t) They get higher marks! (They don’t). And the big problem that people either don’t see or don’t care about is that it’s literally ten times more expensive to print out in colour. TEN TIMES! (Though in fairness, that’s comparing our most expensive colour printer (HP2600N) with our cheapest mono (HP2430N).

Anyhow, when something comes along that might offer good quality and half the running costs, whilst still using OEM consumables, we have to be interested.

The Xerox phaser series has been around for many years. Instead of toner it uses a solid ink, which comes in these compressed pellet blocks. The printer heats these up to a liquid and then presumably sprays them on the page. I don’t know exactly what the mechanism is, but I do know that it delivers at least laser quality at 30 pages per minute. And that’s off a five hundred quid printer.

After a little research we finally bought one to trial and the results after one day look promising. We’ll see how it goes in the longer term.

I might even come back with updates – who knows!

Chicago transportation officials try new software to save paper
Barbara Polley has printed out 6,942 pages since mid-April at her job as an administrative assistant at the Chicago Department of Transportation. That seems like a lot of timber going through the paper mill on behalf of just one person, especially an individual who totes dead batteries from home to toss into a recycling bin at work. But Polley, who has been using new computer software designed …

Get Ready for the New Courses 2009 of School Leonardo Da Vinci

Every year the School Leonardo da Vinci in Florence, leader in the field of Italian language teaching for foreigners, offers a rich programme full of courses of any kind, which introduce students in a complete study of Italian culture and language.

But for the year 2009, our school has enriched its calendar with some new special courses. The brand new courses of this year are “La Dolce Vita” and “Professional Italian Cooking Courses”, two young courses thought for young students who come from all over the world, whose desire is to learn Italian language and culture in a special way.

“La Dolce Vita” is a really particular course dedicated to the students of all ages, whose desire is to learn Italian language allowing themselves at the same time a relaxing holiday entirely dedicated to culture. The purpose of this course is to encourage and stimulate the speaking skills in Italian language of students, so that they soon will be able to converse with people without difficulty, through a long series of cultural activities and guided tours. The course lasts one week and you will have the chance to choose to attend it in the cities of Florence, Milan, Rome or Siena. You will be spoilt for choice!

“Professional Italian Cooking Courses” on the other hand, is a very particular course which introduces students in the study of Italian language, making use of one of the most famous aspects of our culture: the cuisine. These courses start every two weeks in the schools of Florence and Rome, and consist of three levels, from the simplest one (Level I), which lasts 4 weeks, to the intermediate level II, which lasts 8 weeks, to the last one, the professional level (level III) which has a duration of 12 weeks and offers 100 hours of Italian language lessons and 84 lessons of professional cuisine.

But the originality and continuous changes and updating of School Leonardo da Vinci don’t stop here! Yes, because for the year 2009 some courses have been added in other venues. For example the “Small Group Intensive Italian Language Course” and the “Course for Italian-language Teachers” now are available also in the school of Milan, whereas the special “Preparatory Course for Fashion and Design Academies” from next year will be accessible also in Florence.

So, a lot of changes and innovations for the new year at School Leonardo da Vinci…and all thought for you! For all the information about the New Courses Dates and Prices 2009 visit our website.

Best Cost Per Page Hp Color Laser Printers

The cost per page is probably one of the most critical indicators of a printer’s quality. In the color laser printer segment, HP color laser printers seem to enjoy a monopoly of sorts when it comes to their range of low cost per page printers. Here is a rundown of the best low cost laser color printers from HP.

HP Color LaserJet 3600

The print speed of HP Color Laserjet 3600 printer is good at 17 ppm. However, what makes these color laser printers stand out is in their cost per page. Compared to most conventional one-pass printers in the laser printer segment, this one is the lowest in cost per page. It works out to only a cent in cost in the black color prints. However, in the color segment, the cpp is around 9 cents. In the realm of office-oriented printers in the inkjet niche, this cpp is quite competitive. The price of this printer ranges between 465 to 562 USD.

HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP

At an impressive price of just 499 USD and a smart efficiency, these HP color laser printers are a cost effective choice for small businesses and offices operating on a budget. With an Ethernet and USB connection facility and a cost per page of just 3.2 cents for monochrome prints, it provides good value for money. The cost per page for color prints with this printer is around 16.9 cents, which may seem a little expensive but it is still very competitive.

HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn

These color laser printers from HP are fast in print speeds and affordable at the same time. You can enjoy printing double-sided files and connection over both 10/100 Ethernet as well as USB connection. The print output is excellent inspite of having fast print speeds of 17 seconds per page. The cost per page for black prints is around 2.5 cents and of color prints is around 4.3 cents, which is very competitive and reasonable in pricing. The price of this printer is around 499 USD.

HP LaserJet 2600n

The price of the HP LaserJet 2600n color laser printers ranges from 295 to 529 USD. Compared to other HP color laser printers this one has the highest CPP at 5 cents for black prints and 22 cents when printing in color. This is because the cost of its printer ink cartridges is very high and hence replacement of the printer is a more viable option than changing printer ink cartridges once they are empty. The presence of technology called Instant-On Fusing as well as a network port help make this printer useful for small businesses working in groups.

HP Color LaserJet 1500L

The price of these color laser printers is around 149 to 199 USD. Most inkjet printers cost between 25 and 50 cents when there is a mix of graphics and text. However, in this color laser printer, there is a yield of 5000 pages for black printing and 4000 pages for color prints. Black printing price is around 83 USD and color variants around 100 USD. Thus, the cost per page of this printer works to about 1.6 cents for black prints and 2.5 cents for color pages.

The Best Reviews Of Digital Photo Printers Are Now Available For You Too!

Printers are devices that convert computer output into printed images. Serial printers print one character at a time moving across the paper. Electro sensitive, direct thermal, older daisy wheel, and even ink jet printers could be cataloged in this group; however, the primary desktop serial printer is the serial dot matrix printer, with speeds ranging from 200 to 400 cps, which is about 90 to 180 lines per minute.

Line printers print a line at a time from approximately 400 to 2,000 lpm and are commonly found in datacenters and industrial environments. Earlier technologies included drum, chain, train and dot band matrix technologies. The surviving technologies use band and line matrix mechanisms, and there are a lot of reviews of digital photo printers out there.

Digital Printers

Page printers print a page at a time from four to more than 800 ppm. Laser, LED, solid ink and electron beam imaging printers fall into this category. All of these printers adhere to toner or ink onto a drum which is transferred to the entire page in one cycle for black and white and multiple cycles for color. You can find this information in almost all reviews of digital photo printers. Impact printers were developed for the first early computers which were popular a few decades back.

Dot band matrix printers used a combination of band printer and dot matrix methods. Electron Beam Imaging is a technology somewhat similar to a laser printer, except that electricity is used to create the image instead of light. This evolved from ion deposition and is used in very high-speed page printers exceeding 800 ppm, which at reviews of digital photo printers could not bee seen. Laser printers have had a lot going for them lately. The prices are falling, they are cheaper for volume printing and the text prints are always better than any Inkjet printer you can ever buy.

Our conclusion on printers

Laser printers are also incredibly faster than most of the Inkjet printers, and if you are doing continuous printouts, they will simply floor you with the speed, as many reviews of digital photo printers say. There are quite a few things that you must consider before buying a Laser printer. The first and foremost thing that you need to think about and that is covered in most reviews of digital photo printers is whether you want a color laser or a mono laser. Laser printers can’t print on thick photo quality paper, so if you want to print really high quality photos you should stick to Inkjet printers.
