Dell’s Wasabi ultramobile photo printer just officially dropped with a $99 promotional price (regular price will be $149). The compact box uses ZINK (Zero Ink) technology, which prints without ink cartridges and uses a kind of dye-infused paper. It prints 2 x 3 color photos from cameras, cellphones and computers using Bluetooth or Pictbridge USB. A one-touch reprint function will reproduce the last printed image, and it will hold 12 sheets of adhesive-backed paper. Wasabi is available in pink, blue and black colors.
We take the lowly all-in-one printers for granted, but think about it – things are so much easier with multifunction machines that print, copy, scan and fax. Canon knows this, and has thus produced two new, spiffy Office All-In-One printers targeted towards small office and home office users.
The Canon PIXMA MX860 steps up with built-in Wireless LAN 802.11b/g and Ethernet connectivity for printing and scanning across computers. It does auto duplex printing for two-sided documents, prints at maximum dpi of 9600 x 2400, has a 2.5-inch LCD for document previews, and a 35-sheet auto document feeder. Printing without a computer is a cinch, since the MX860 takes memory cards, has Pictbridge capability so you can plug your camera straight into it, and offers Bluetooth as an option.
Samsung Electronics America Inc recently introduced a new line of wireless printers: the CLX-3175FW, ML-1630W, and SCX-4500W. All three models are equipped with integrated 802.11b/g wireless connectivity to allow users at home and in the office to print from any connected mobile devices such as laptops and mobile phones.
