In past one year, we witnessed several developments in multi-function-printers. We came across major developments which changed the industry. What were those developments and how they impacted the industry? Let’s find out…
New technology enables the manufacturers to produce multi-function printers available at reasonable price packed with a slew of features. We are looking for new developments in technology in the coming year.
Compact: small in size, big in features
If you remember, earlier MFPs were used to be large in size and low in terms of features. In the earlier days, the first time MFP hit the market having only a few basic features including Print, Scan, and Copy. It was big in size and offering only USB connectivity with only one PC or laptop.
Now gone are those days. Now you can buy an MFP which is compact in size and offering more than basic features. Newly design MFPs don’t only support various sizes of papers but also, you can print or scan multiple pages in one go
Screen: operate without attaching PC or laptop
You can easily buy MFP with LCD screen that allows you to perform various tasks even without adding PC or Laptop. Apart from the usual USB port, new devices come with an additional USB port. You can add USB drive directly to print from USB or scan and store directly to the USB drive.
Perform various tasks from network connected devices
Once you connect your MFP with your network, you can perform various tasks using your network connectivity. Anyone connected to the network can print or scan directly. This is nothing new! Yes, it has been there for a quite long time, but now even with affordable devices, you could find this feature. Moreover, wireless (Wi-Fi & NFC) connectivity allows you to perform all the tasks wirelessly from anywhere in the world (when connected to the internet).
Cartridges: more intelligent and efficient
New technology has helped to enhance cartridges tech to deliver enhanced performance. New HP Toner cartridges with JetIntelligence use up to 53 percent less energy, take up to 40 percent less space and wake up, print and duplex in a fraction of the time. It delivers up to 33 percent more professional-quality prints, peak printing performance; and provide protection against counterfeits with innovative anti-fraud technology.
Ink-tank technology: forget about forking out cartridges
You may have changed cartridges several times, but with new ink tank technology, no need to change the cartridges frequently. Epson’s new MFPs come with a refillable ink tank. Epson’s new EcoTank printers can last for two years without running out of ink – based on a household printing 200 pages a month.
