HP unveils new printhead technology

Author: Rodrigo Chia Date: July 12, 2005 - 6:43 AM PST Category: Printer More Info: http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/feature_stories/2005/05scalableprint... HP has unveiled its first products featuring an inkjet technology that promises a faster development cycle and consequent lower cost (up to 50%). The new printhead components are fabricated as a single unit through a photolitographic process instead of being welded togheter in postproduction. This allows the placement of 3,900 nozzles or even more on a single printhead. The first product to sport the technology will be the Photosmart 8250. Equipped with six Vivera ink cartridges, it will print 4x6-inch prints in as little as 14 seconds. The 8250 will be available this month for USD 199. It will be followed this fall by the Photosmart 3000 All-In-One series. Print Version | Send to Friend | Bookmark This News | Permalink | Comments (0) top

Lexmark suffers setback in DMCA case

Author: Rodrigo Chia Date: February 23, 2005 - 8:41 AM PST Category: Printer More Info: http://www.scc-inc.com/SccVsLexmark Lexmark suffered a new setback in its case against a company called Static Control Components (SCC) envolving technology designed to allow use of generic cartridges in printers. The US Courts of Appeals, Sixth Circuit denied a request to consider reimposing a injunction against SCC. In 2002, Lexmark filed a lawsuit claiming that SCC’s Smartek chips violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Later, a judge issued a preliminary injunction banning the selling of Smartek chips, but this was lifted in October 2004. The case is going to trial next December.
