Building on previous laser mono models, the new TASKalfa 7003i, 8003i and 9003i features include a 10.1-inch touch panel with increased usability and duplex print speed of up to 90 A4 pages per minute, in the fastest model of the series, the TASKalfa 9003i. The new TASKalfa 308ci colour laser MFP boasts a print speed up to 30 ppm. These TASKalfas come with serverless solutions, allowing users to easily retrieve large volumes of scanned data without being limited by email transmission size. Additionally, there are excellent finishing options that allow organisations to customise the MFP to their unique needs. One of the hallmarks of the TASKalfa range is its impressive long service life, with a maintenance cycle of 200,000 impressions. All products incorporate the HyPAS platform and will also be linked to Kyocera’s Fleet Services. The remote panel function allows service providers to remotely monitor and manage their customers’ needs in a way that reduces carbon emissions and enables service personnel to perform device maintenance offsite. kyoceradocumentsolutions.co.uk Focus On: What’s New HP introduces 3D printing subscriptions, services, and partnerships HP has announced a series of new subscriptions and services to help customers more easily integrate 3D printing into their digital manufacturing strategies.
