Eco-friendly Katun has made the decision to only use recycled plastic for the manufacture of newly launched waste toner cartridges in 2023 and onwards. The company has made the ecofriendly choice to make a difference by using less waste – all new waste toner cartridges will be produced using recycled plastics – in most cases that means that over 90% of the plastic used for the finished product will be recycled material. This exclusive ecofriendly waste toner cartridge range will display Katun’s Eco-Friendly logo on the packaging and is confirmation that the company is proactively taking concrete steps to protect the environment and adopt sustainable business practices. www.katun.com WHAT'S NEW 51 PRINTITRESELLER.UK 27 Canon refreshes production printers Canon has refreshed its mono printer range with the launch of the varioPRINT 140 series QUARTZ for production print environments. The new QUARTZ model offers commercial print and in-house print service providers a temporary speed upgrade option to support production peaks and has a contemporary look. Users can also benefit from an optional form assist module to increase application flexibility. Built for light to mid-volume printing environments producing 80,000 to 800,000 A4-size prints on average per month, the varioPRINT 140 series QUARTZ is engineered to last, delivering reliable print performance, consistent productivity and high quality output. With the introduction of a new licensing structure, varioPRINT 140 series QUARTZ users can make use of permanent or temporary speed upgrades to the printer, from 115 pages per minute to 130 or 140 ppm. This option gives businesses greater production flexibility to respond to unpredictable print buying patterns and production volumes, as well as the scope to boost capacity to up to 2.3 million A4 images per month to manage seasonal peaks. The temporary license is offered on a monthly basis and can be extended as many times as needed over the lifetime of the printer. The varioPRINT 140 series QUARTZ does not generate ozone emissions and is designed to minimise toner waste. Thanks to HeatXchange technology, the heat generated when the toner is fixed is transferred to subsequent pages as it prints. This helps to save energy, while the low fusing temperature supports printing on a variety of media. The printer comes with a Canon PRISMAsync print server embedded as standard, giving intuitive control and allowing for production scheduling up to eight hours ahead. For operator convenience, notifications highlighting the requirement for toner or media replenishment, as well as the need to remove output, are provided well in advance to help achieve non- stop printing. www.canon.co.uk A new line-up Konica Minolta has unveiled a new line-up of toner mono machines in a move to empower customers to rethink efficiencies in in-plant print rooms and commercial print environments.
