01732 759725 05 magazine INNOVATIONS Chip on board technology The new NEC LED FC Series LEDs with Chip on Board (COB) technology for indoor signage, transportation and meeting spaces delivers high contrast, excellent durability in public spaces and superb energy efficiency. Utilising the already established F style cabinets for easy setup and flexible usage, the new FC Series benefits from front serviceability for all components allowing easy access for maintenance. Displaying deep blacks and extreme contrast levels of up to 20,000:1, content appears dramatically vivid for a remarkable imaging performance and the best possible viewing experience in any ambient light conditions. The Sharp/ NEC COB technology is highly energy efficient, generating a brighter output at a reduced power usage, consuming around 40% less power compared to standard SMD LED technology. The FC Series is available in three fine pixel pitches (0.95mm, 1.2mm, and 1.5mm), the optimum display resolution can be achieved for close viewing distances. www.sharpnecdisplays.eu ChatGPT Integrations GoTo plans to release beta access to a ChatGPT integration for GoTo Resolve, its all-in-one IT management and support solution. This integration is designed to make creating and running IT automation scripts for device management easier. Administrators need only tell the tool what they want to do to automatically create a script and execute a task. With IT teams constantly pressed for time, GoTo believes ChatGPT is the perfect platform to further optimise productivity in IT teams by automating administrative and repetitive tasks in a consistent manner. www.goto.com Performance, security and sustainability Lexmark has announced the availability of nine new A4 colour and black and white printers and multifunction printers, which offer enhanced security and sustainability features, as well as scalable solution support and exceptional performance. Designed for mid- to large-size workgroups with monthly print volumes of up to 10,000 pages (colour) or 20,000 pages (mono), these full-featured printers and MFPs can stand alone or be part of an enterprise printer fleet. Standard features include wireless connectivity, high input capacity, and a front USB port for keyboarding and badge reader connection. For enhanced security, the new devices include the Lexmark Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which includes on-board authentication, system integrity checks, and cryptographic capabilities to create a unique digital system fingerprint. TPM meets stringent industry and US government security standards, including Common Criteria and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). www.lexmark.co.uk Large-format compact desktop printer Canon’s new imagePROGRAF TC-20M is a full colour, large-format, desktop printer which is equipped with an A4 flatbed scanner. The space-saving design allows users to perform all print-related operations from the front of the unit, including the paper setting (roll or sheet) and loading, ink refilling and collecting prints. Large-capacity, 70 ml ink tanks result in less frequent refilling of the four colour (CMYK) pigment inks and the different shape and colour of the inlets on each tank prevent refilling with the wrong colour. The printer supports rolls of paper up to A1+ wide and is equipped with a standard auto sheet feeder compatible with A3 and A4 paper. Rolls and sheets of paper can be loaded at the same time, allowing users to copy and print various sizes on one machine by selecting the chosen paper source on the operator panel. In addition to usual network printing capabilities, users can preview JPEG and PDF documents, scan, copy and enlarge A4-sized originals, plus other paper sizes. Jobs can also be printed directly through the printer control panel, via a USB flash drive. www.canon.co.uk Sustainable cartridges Katun has introduced an exclusive line of environmentally sustainable cartridges. Katun ecoKAP cartridges use a patent-pending cap that facilitates the refilling to make the Katun cartridge truly re-usable. The ecoKAP cartridges are currently manufactured using more than 60% of recycled plastics with plans to increase the percentage of recycled plastic in the future. The company also plans to launch Katun ecoKAP refilled cartridges, which can be refilled up to three times without comprising quality and functionality. Heidi Boller, General Manager for Katun EMEA, said: “We are very excited to be introducing a truly environmental product to the office equipment channel which will also become part of the expanding range of environmentally certified products. The empty Katun ecoKAP cartridges will be readily accepted for recycling as part of our Core Collection Partner Services.” www.katun.com/eu
