LOW COST COLOUR
New colour printing technology known as Memjet looks set to change the industry with disruptively low-price running costs. Unveiled last month at the Global Ink Jet Printing Conference in Prague, it is the first to combine high speed and quality colour at reasonable cost. The new technology prints full-colour images at 60 pages per minute, many times the inkjet industry standard. Machines at a fraction of the price of high-speed colour laser devices will be available soon for the home/office, photo-kiosk and label markets. Printing costs for the basic desktop printer are expected to be around 3p per A4 for a colour page. There's more to come: the technology is scalable from 20mm to over 2 metres, and could be incorporated into mobile phones and digital cameras at one end of the scale and large-format commercial printing with the ability to print a personalised newspaper at the other.

That is indeed good news and it's not before time. Printing has been slow and laborious until now. Check the video out @ [Only registered and activated users can see links]

PS

Hello everyone I've not gone anywhere, just tired of playing, also my ASE subs just ran out and I'm wondering if it is worth re-newing, maybe I'll go for the ASE light version if there is such a thing?

i had a quick look at it, cant really tell if it is any good as you dont get a close up of the final product or the digital representation of what the product was meant to look like.

be interesting to see if it solves the speed/quality/price conundrum though.

Good find Pup, as the cartridges on some are so damn dear.

Hey and ECHO, sorry to hear your fed up with playing, I would hate to lose you as a friend, and a damn good player too.
I too get fed up sometimes with playing, so I find a game I like to play, and have a few breaks from COD.
If you like strategy games I can recomend Company of Heroes which takes you through all the missions from DDAY onwards, I just got it, and cant stop playing it, or the new Mediival 2 Total War.
Hope to speak to you soon mate al the best :).
