Epson intros mobile photo printer

Epson has unveiled the PictureMate personal photo printer, states CNET News.

The PictureMate Charm gives home photo enthusiasts a new way to produce lab-quality photos on the go, thanks to the inclusion of a carrying handle and a dual-purpose lid that doubles as a paper input tray.

A variety of colour effects and layout options turn photos into wallet-size proof sheets, stickers, and more. Featuring 5760x1440 dpi, the PictureMate Charm boasts the highest print resolution in its class with built-in auto photo correction and red-eye removal in tow.

HP has expanded its printer portfolio in Europe with the addition of a mono laser and two new colour models, and announced new branding, says Computing.co.uk.

The printer giant said the new branding means LaserJet Professional printers will now target small to medium-sized businesses, while LaserJet Enterprise models are aimed at larger organisations. The new simplified stance is intended to help companies select the hardware best suited for their business needs, according to HP.

LaserJet Professional printers provide cost-effective results for smaller firms, the firm said, while the LaserJet Enterprise portfolio offers the greater manageability and features required by larger customers.

Toshiba TEC Australia has added B-EV4 entry-level desktop label printers to its range of desktop thermal printers, reports Ferret.

The two new models expand printing solutions for retail point of sale, shelf labelling, product marking, healthcare, inventory management and shipping and receiving.

The wide opening top cover mechanism of the desktop label printers has two distinct advantages to allow all users to safely and easily handle the Toshiba TEC B-EV4 printers. The wide open space provides easy access to the print head, paper and sensor, but more importantly, has a cover damper to prevent accidental trapping of fingers.
