Designed to meet all the printing needs of busy households, from children’s homework to full colour photos, the three new devices offer print resolutions of up to 1200 x 6000 dpi, wireless connectivity and compatibility with the Brother Mobile Connect app, which allows users to send a file to print from anywhere, share and review scanned documents, monitor ink levels and order replacement supplies from a mobile device. The standard cartridge yield is 200 pages. The three Mini Regular devices are the DCP-J1140DW (print/ copy/scan, 6.8cm LCD touchscreen), the DCP-J1050DW (print/copy/scan, 4.5cm LCD touchscreen) and the MFC-J1010DW (print/copy/scan/fax, 20-sheet ADF). www.brother.co.uk/compact-home-inkjet Upstanding mouse Digital lifestyle accessories brand Trust Electronics is tackling the problem of wrist pain with the launch of the Bayo Ergonomic Rechargeable Wireless Mouse.

Offering a fast, secure and completely contactless solution, the VisionLabs LUNA POS Terminal scans the customer’s face (without saving any facial data) and milliseconds later sends the face template to the payment service provider or bank for identification and authorisation using VisionLabs facial recognition technology. VisionLabs has used its facial recognition technology in payment terminals since 2019, but this is the first time the technology has been incorporated into a device that also supports other payment methods. VisionLabs expects the number of users securing payments via software-based facial recognition to exceed 1.4 billion globally by 2025, compared to 671 million in 2020. visionlabs.ai A quick single New from Sharp NEC Display Solutions Europe, the NEC MultiSync E273F enables customers to replace multiple video, audio, power and USB connections with a single cable.
