Reading the Fine Print on Why Ink Tank Printers Are a Better Choice

 

If you have ever noticed messages in work and marketing emails encouraging you to consider the environment before printing, you are well aware of the perception that printing output, and its associated hardware, produce waste that finds its way into landfills. Paper waste alone makes up between 7% and 23% of municipal solid waste depending on whether it is a low-, middle-, or high-income country.

While printer energy consumption, paper waste, ink usage, and cartridge replacement have an environmental impact, consumers may be largely unaware of the advances that have been made to reduce the printer output, materials and accessories that find its way to landfills. Consumers in Asia Pacific are becoming more conscious of whether the products they are buying are green, or clean, as their sustainability sophistication grows in each market. Businesses are also devising ways to achieve more circular models to encourage responsible production and consumption. Home printers, in particular, have received some tech-based enhancements in recent years that are making it possible to print freely.

As consumers have become more aware of the environmental impact of their activities, they are interested in finding products that are sustainable but also convenient to use and cost effective above all. Continuous ink supply system (CISS) printers, or ink tank printers, have emerged in the home printer market to address these needs. Its main features are edging out standard inkjets and laser printers in each of these areas.

Printing at Home is Here to Stay

In spite of trends to digitise and go paperless, printers continue to be an essential technology in homes. This was proven when demand for home printers surged last year as people settled into home offices to work and online schooling became the norm during the pandemic. Deloitte anticipates that going forward, home printers may not be used daily as some routines resume but the need for hard copy printouts will persist for people who continue to spend some time working or learning from home.

The home printer market has incorporated more sustainable features in recent years. In particular, ink tank printers that were typically used by small businesses or home offices with high volume printing needs, are increasingly being purchased for personal use. Ink tank printers run on large refillable tanks instead of individual cartridges that need to be discarded once empty. These tanks hold more ink, eliminating the need for frequent cartridge changes that can be costly over time. This makes it a cost-effective option for home offices as well as start-ups and small businesses.

Leading the Evolution of the Home Printer Market

As the first company to introduce ink tank printers to the market, Epson has changed the approach to inkjet printing with the EcoTank lineup. On top of this revolution, Heat-Free Technology with Epson’s PrecisonCore Printhead consumes up to 85% less energy than laser printers of a similar speed. The CO2 emissions of consumables (e.g. raw materials, manufacturing, production and distribution of parts, and consumer use and disposal) is less than a fifth of conventional cartridge printer models. This can mean distinct savings in annual energy bills.

With no heat required for warming up the printer, EcoTank printers operate at a consistently high printing speed. The Heat-Free Technology also makes Epson’s EcoTank printers more efficient and capable of printing reliably for a long period with minimal maintenance downtime to allow more time to focus on productive tasks. EcoTank printers also feature ink bottles with an ultra-high page yield of up to 7,500 pages in black and 6,000 pages in color. The ink is simple to refill, with spill-free bottle designs to make the process fast and maintain productivity.

Using an Epson EcoTank printer produces pages at a fraction of the cost of a standard inkjet or laser printer, especially when frequent and bulk printing is required. For the environmentally conscious, purchasing an Epson EcoTank printer is a reliable, affordable choice that aligns closely with sustainable values, while helping you to be more productive at home.

Upgrade home entertainment this holiday season with Epson’s EpiqVision Laser Projection TV

 

Who doesn’t love movies? Whether you’re going to the theaters to bond with your friends or just want to watch your favorite actors on the big screen, movies are for everyone. However, due to the pandemic, cinemas closed down to prioritize safety. Fortunately, the media and entertainment sector was quick to follow and began offering a greater selection of high-quality content that is available on-demand and can be watched on any device.

To emulate the experience of watching movies in the cinema, people are spending more on in-home entertainment solutions. Rather than buying costlier smart TVs, consumers are opting to purchase home projectors. These devices can deliver cinematic picture quality and offer the flexibility to turn rooms into multi-functional spaces perfect for a family movie night or a workout session.

This holiday season, most of us are still unable to go to the theatres to watch a Christmas movie because of safety reasons. The good news is, with a stable internet connection and a functional device, you can still bond with your loved ones over films or serial shows at home. While watching on your laptop or flat screen TV can suffice, elevate the whole experience with just a white screen or wall, a wireless connection to a mobile device or tablet, and an Epson Projector.

Some of the latest Epson models provide an epic viewing experience on its massive screens with high-quality 4K picture resolution. Epson’s EpiqVision Laser Projection TV produces bright images from virtually anywhere inside your home— even outside. It can also project up to 150 inches without a screen. That’s why it’s the perfect choice, whether you are binge-watching your favorite TV shows or hosting an outdoor movie night for the holidays.

Compared to 1 chip projectors on the market, Epson’s 3LCD technology delivers a wider range of color that is more comfortable for the eyes. That means there is no need to darken a room to comfortably view the screen. The inclusion of Yamaha’s latest AudioEngine™ DSP technology in some EpiqVision models produces an impressive sound stage to deliver a big-screen, surround-sound theater experience that rivals dedicated high-end audio systems and soundbars. With EpiqVision Laser Projection TV, you’re not only getting quality picture resolution, you’re also getting a unique audio experience like no other.

With the Built-in Android TV™ and wireless connectivity with Chromecast™, Epson EpiqVision Laser Projection TV can seamlessly access popular streaming services including YouTube. This product line can also cast content directly from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Even gamers will have something to love about this product, with favorite games from Google Play or consoles easily accessible through an HDMI port.

As we adapt to the changes in home entertainment, it’s important to find reliable devices that can be our partners in creating a positive experience. EpiqVision Laser Projection TVs enable wireless connectivity, as well as, ultra-short throw projection capabilities that make it an ideal addition to any home entertainment system.

With Epson’s latest models, more people can enjoy a flexible, portable, and low-cost option for video streaming without sacrificing picture quality. Make EpiqVision Laser Projection TVs the perfect addition to your movie night or dates with the ones you love this holiday season.

TECNO Smartphones in 2022 Will have Sensor Shift and Telescopic Lens

 

GrabTechDude shares what's new in mobile video recording!

TECNO Mobile, a premium smartphone brand focusing on global emerging markets, will be releasing new mobile video recording technologies in 2022. The brand outlined these at a recent webinar entitled “Global Mobile Camera Trends 2022: Innovation Talk”, which was organized by leading technology research firm Counterpoint. The webinar featured resource speakers, who discussed developments in mobile imaging technology.

During the webinar, TECNO Mobile shared several of its recent achievements in Mobile Camera Technology, highlighting its advances in dark complexion imaging, along with recent breakthroughs in light sensitivity, image and video stabilization, zoom, and high-resolution – powered by technologies such as Sensor Shift and Telescopic Lens, which the brand plans to release in 2022.

The First Android Phone to Integrate Sensor Shift

With TECNO Mobile’s plan to release its Sensor Shift technology in 2022, it will make itself the first mobile phone brand with the Android system to do so. Sensor Shift is an image stabilization technology that uses sensor movements instead of lens movements to compensate for vibrations. In the future, the control accuracy of TECNO’s Sensor Shift is seen to reach 350% of the current level, with further algorithm optimization. With this, consumers will be able to capture studio-quality photos with greater stability.

New Concept Phone with a Telescopic Lens Coming in 2022

When it comes to capturing images, a telescopic lens has the advantage of large aperture and continuous lossless zoom. Consumers can benefit from this lens’ better quality for profile and telephotography, as well as its multi-purpose functionality. 

TECNO Mobile’s concept phone will integrate consumers’ demands for high performance and a simple appearance, through a compressed back focal length (BFL) design with motorized stretchable lenses that will significantly reduce the phone’s thickness. This concept phone with telescopic future lens is set to be released in the first quarter of 2022.

With these new offerings, TECNO Mobile continues to empower consumers to express their lifestyles through advanced imaging technologies, staying true to its commitment to bring innovation to global emerging markets as the premium smartphone brand for all.

Safe and better Protection on your online Christmas shopping

 

The last shopping spree of the year, 12.12, so what have you thought of buying online for this coming sale? 

With what happened in the last two years, people have now adapted to the new norm, and online shopping is one way to get your loved ones a present. But of course, there's always the risk in doing it. 

Many are ecstatic and are in a frenzy to shop. Christmas lists are now finalized in terms of gifts needed and who to give them to, where people channel their inner Santa Claus vibe and check who is naughty and who is nice. The excitement is real, the anticipation is unbelievable, and the waiting makes it more energizing.

But wait. Before we get buried with the delight and enthusiasm of our Christmas shopping, don’t forget to protect yourself and your hard-earned money. You saved your moolah earned for the year just for your Christmas shopping for your family, friends and loved ones and significant others. Don’t let it go to waste to scams perpetrated by unscrupulous individuals out to spoil your Christmas shopping fun.

Online banking

If you’re going to shop and will pay online, well, make sure you have the funds. Also, don’t just give away your online banking details to anyone. Don’t be lured by scams with the promise of great financial return that will take your precious money away from you via phishing and the latest one, SMiShing. Protect your money at all times. Don’t use your social media password as password for your online bank account. If possible, use complex passwords but make sure you memorize them. Be sure to report to law enforcement authorities any suspicious acts and other criminal activities aimed at stealing your money. The Philippine National Police has a cybercrime group. Know how to contact them, just in case. If possible, look for payment options that offer increased buyer protection.

Trust the source

If you’re into shopping for Christmas gift items via the popular shopping platforms, make sure that the source (seller) is legitimate. Some people make it a practice to buy their items at the product manufacturers’ “mall” section in the platforms. Usually, the most trusted and reputable sellers are in the “mall” so that would make you feel safe in your purchase, that the product you’ll get is legitimate, of good quality and worth your hard-earned money. Check as well terms and conditions on your purchase, especially shipping and refunds.

Work from home, stay at home

If you work from home, just stay at home and do all your things, of course, including shopping, at home. Be sure to do your shopping at your computer that is protected by your home network and don’t be fooled to shop using any other device that runs on a network you don’t have absolute control, or else… goodbye shopping money!

Look for the “S”

It’s always best to remember to look for the “S” when checking out shopping sites. You know you’re not looking for the “S” to be Superman, but don’t make that “S” make you look silly by going to sites that are not “safe” and “secure.” The “S” in a URL give you some peace of mind, especially when going to a site that would require your password and other personal details.

But best of all, think before you click. Exercising due diligence is done also when shopping, which would mean parting away with your precious money. It’s always prudent to check and re-check to make your online shopping better, safer and secure this Christmas.

It is the vision to make people’s online shopping convenient and be made high tech, but is also protected with enough and timely laws that will shield consumers from online fraud and abuse. People should adapt to the changing times, to be “Computer Literate,” “Innovative,” provided with sufficient “Connectivity” and “Knowledge” to make your online shopping “CLICK” and do other things online with convenience, but also with enough peace of mind.

AIA PHILIPPINES LAUNCHES MY AIA PLATFORM

 

The rebrand pushed the company to focus more on its development, AIA Philippines and its bancassurance subsidiary, BPI AIA, the two life insurance powerhouse companies are focused on pushing the boundaries to achieve their global capabilities, in alignment with the strategies and direction of AIA Group, the Hong Kong-based mother company. Part of this alignment is the full speed ahead use of technology, digital, and analytics—referred to as TDA—to streamline their processes, strengthen their operations, enable their people, and provide relevant solutions to customers while continuously improving service delivery.

“With our recent rebrand to AIA Philippines and consequently, BPI AIA, we continue to ramp up our internal transformation to be better positioned for the future as we embrace our global capabilities, aspiring to lead in the TDA space within the life insurance industry,” stated Leo Tan, Chief Marketing Officer of AIA Philippines.

AIA Philippines Chief Technology Officer, Noel Mendoza, shared various TDA initiatives that the Company has undertaken, emphasizing how the end-user is at the center of the project design and development, to ensure ease of use and encourage adoption. This is especially true for projects that have the customers as the end-users. “Our customers take the wheel. We will tailor, learn and evolve based on their wants and needs,” shared Mendoza.

As a life insurer with access to huge amounts of data, data and analytics and the use of the cloud are also key areas that can help the business. “We will use the data we have for better insights and understanding. We will re-design our business models around the services they will need,” Mendoza expounded. “And finally, everything in the cloud—it’s where digital lives and comes alive.”

Speaking of data, with today's security threats big companies and huge names are always on the verge of being helpless with these hackers. So, during the virtual media event, we did punch in a few inquiries about their data security. According to them, they made sure that the security level of their data storage is maintained and secured properly. They have this approach of different layers of security. From its network, the data, and the physical equip that allows them to guard the sanctity of the data. Given the consent and transparency, they can ensure users the safety of their information.

A practical and convenient platform

Among all the TDA projects mentioned, the recently launched My AIA platform was showcased in a media briefing, with a walkthrough that highlighted its functionalities. My AIA is an integrated platform where AIA Philippines customers can access the Total Health Solution ecosystem to help them live better, protect better and get better with just a few taps.

Geegee Lopez, AIA Philippines Chief Operations Officer, further explained, “My AIA is our customers’ all-in-one touchpoint where they can manage their protection, continue to choose to live healthily, and access health care should they find themselves under the weather or worse, as may sometimes happen. This platform is the first step to demonstrate our commitment to make protected healthy living easy, and there will be more features coming soon, as we continue our design sprints and customer validations. Again, because we really mean it when we say: We put our customers at the heart of everything we do.”

Geared for the future

The ongoing pandemic has presented a lot of challenges to AIA Philippines and BPI AIA, but both companies have been able to pivot efficiently and effectively. TDA, once just one of the company initiatives, suddenly had to be at the front and center, fast-tracking the progress of technology and digitalization projects in the pipeline. Despite the challenges of working remotely, these projects quickly got off the ground, with a timely launch that was able to address the immediate needs of the business and its customers.

“As we rebranded to AIA Philippines early this year, we firmly embraced the importance of TDA as a key component underpinning the various pillars of our business strategy,” remarked Kelvin Ang, AIA Philippines Chief Executive Officer. “As we go through transformation on our processes and the development of technology projects, TDA’s influence will not be limited to these, but will also necessitate a culture change, where we adapt agile ways of working as we continue to build a culture of innovation within AIA Philippines. These will all come together to help us fulfill our purpose of helping Filipinos live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.”

How To Spot the Best Content Creator's Gadget in SM Malls Online App

 

Tap, browse, click, read, select, and wait for the delivery. It is probably the most convenient and easiest way for a content creator to find and have the best gadget online. Besides, there are already different reviews made by top content creators. So, all you need to do is find what you love and see if it fits your personality.

Now we're going specific. Since the pandemic, lots of businesses have disrupted its system to address the needs of their clientele. Online is the best option. That is why SM Malls have added a new platform to reach more customers through SM Malls Online App.

SM Malls is the go-to when it comes to finding what people need, as they say, "we've got it all for you!" It's also my go-to when I try to buy things that I need. So, for content creators, where else will they go? Cyberzone, the best place to spot the best in tech wares.

It is best to roam around in the Cyberzone area to look for your gadget and tech needs. That is before the pandemic, but right now, it's limited, and people are indeed hesitant. So there's that portion on the SM Malls Online App where you can find Cyberzone.

Since Cyberzone stores are compressed inside that app, I have tips to spot the best content creator's gadget. All you need to do is get a little busy with your finger and download the SM Malls Online App (if you haven't had it on your smartphone). There are five (5) ways that you can do to spot the best gadget for you.

• The Search Box. If you know what you are searching for, you can type the item on the search box. Click it and wait for the result of the query. Scroll and spot the brand or model of the gadget you're looking for, but if you're undecided, the result provides you with a list of top items. So, if one of the gadgets you're trying to find is a mobile phone, it will list down all the brands available. Then, all you need to do is order it. You can wait for it until it is delivered to your doorstep.

• The Shops Button. This button provides you two tabs to choose from, one is "by Brand," and the other is by Category. If you pick "by Brand," you can already spot the best gadget for you. If you're aiming for an iPhone, you can go to Power Mac Center. You can select the item and pay for it either by cash or credit card. While the other tab, which is the "by Category," you can find the Cyberzone icon, tap and scroll down to find the one that fits your personality.

• The Cyberzon Button. It's the direct link to a listing that shows all the available gadgets you can find in the store. You can instantly tap this button, and a list of available items will pop out for you. This way, you'll have the opportunity to see all the items, check them one by one, and later on decide which one you'll want to have.

• Use the filter. There's a filter option on the listing where you can narrow down the items. If the product you're searching for is from a price range of P70,000 and up, you can put that range on the filter, and it will give a listing with that price tag. So, if you're tight on a budget but still want to have the best gadget, this option can help you narrow down your search.

• Always compare product information. Aside from the brand name or model, or price, you can check the information for comparison. Each product listing has its information this way, you can understand what item or items you are getting. It's much easier to notice if the specification is much better than the other device.

These are my top tips for people who want to spot the best gadget for content creators in SM Malls Online App. Take note that all brands and gadgets available on the online app store are legit and authentic. It is the same as what you see in SM Cyberzone.

 

So, if you're planning to buy your very own content creator's gadget, don't forget that they have this SMGOESONLINE voucher code that can give you up to Php200.00 off on your first delivery order, and you can get FREE SHIPPING if you shop two (2) or more brands with a minimum spend of Php750.00.

SM Malls Online is the newest online shopping app of SM Supermalls. The app contains trusted mall brands, restaurants, and Cyberzone. It's the ultimate shopping companion at the comfort of your home, but it still brings the fun of SM Malling to your phone.

The app is available on the App Store or Google Play. gosm.link/SMMallsOnlineApp 

What Are The 5 Reasons to Use Epson’s Easy-to-Use Digital Textile Printers are ideal for Building Business Start-ups

 

The far-reaching effects of the pandemic have changed life as we know it, and as the marketplace moved online, entrepreneurs are finding more creative ways to earn in the new environment. In the same way that technology enables communication and keeps businesses running, it offers opportunities to earn.

One such opportunity can be found in digital textile printing. The textile industry continues to evolve and the ability to manufacture custom printed textiles and short fashion runs is quickly becoming a business advantage.

Epson offers a range of digital textile printers that enable users to produce and manufacture custom fabrics at scale with high precision and increased reliability, using vibrant and eye-catching colours. 

Epson SC-F2130 

  

Here are some of the reasons why custom textile printing with Epson’s easy-to-use Digital Textile Printers might be the perfect business idea for you:

1. Advanced Printing Quality
Buyers are on the lookout for quality in any purchase they make. Printing garments digitally delivers an outstanding level of colour and quality that is ideal when it comes to consistently reproducing complex designs with accurate colours, including refined gradients, in every print.

2. Quick and Efficient Production
Digital textile printers offer significantly short production turnaround, giving you every opportunity to maximise what comes your way and avoid any long and costly production delays. These printers are fast, reliable, and time saving for any business.

3. Very Flexible to Customer Demands
It’s always about what is convenient, quick, and easy. Keep up with the evolving trends and demands of customers with the ability to produce short runs and print-on-demand services with minimal downtime. Cater to the needs of your audiences by knowing what they want, when they want it, and how they want it done.

4. Low Environmental Impact
Everyone is becoming more conscious about their impact to the environment, which also applies for setting up businesses and making sure it is sustainable in the long run. Good thing digital printing provides significant reductions in both water and electricity consumption compared to traditional fabric printing. Epson’s digital textile printers allow businesses to stay productive and profitable while caring for the environment.

5. Reduced Production Costs
All entrepreneurs are on the lookout for cost-effective solutions that can save them money but offer best quality output for their businesses. With Epson’s digital textile printers, you can take control of your production timeline and costs by producing quality designs in-house, eliminating expensive third-party printing fees.

Unlike other manufacturers, the Epson advantage is “in the details”, so that every product helps businesses become more cost-effective, cost-efficient, and productive while saving the environment.

Both direct-to-garment (DTG) and dye sublimation printing are cost-effective options for small and medium businesses. Direct-to-garment printing is similar to using an inkjet printer to print on paper, except that you’re printing right onto cotton-based fabric using special water-based inks that absorb into the fabric, allowing you to do small print runs at an affordable price.

If you are looking for more types of printing application options, dye sublimation might just be the perfect choice. With dye sublimation, you can easily print customised apparel as you can control every part of the fabric you are printing on. This is perfect for those who need custom sportswear and accessories, printed face masks, personalised mugs or smartphone cases and the like. Although it requires more steps, dye sublimation is perfect for entrepreneurs who want to take the details of designs up a notch over DTG printing.

Epson SC-F530 

Epson SC-F6330 

Designed to optimise the process dye sublimation and direct-to-garment printing, Epson’s F-series textile printers are powered by PrecisionCore™ printhead technology, which enables fast, high-quality, and reliable printing on fabric.

“Our F-Series direct-to-garment and dye-sublimation textile printers are designed for performance and purposed for affordability. Digital textile printing presents no limitation to creativity, and with Epson’s comprehensive range of digital textile printers, businesses and designers have the creative freedom to print anything imaginable on fabric in-house and whenever they need it,” explains Eduardo Bonoan, Head of Marketing, Epson Philippines.

With the SureColour F-Series textile printers, Epson brings together the best of the company’s technical expertise and printing technology, promising high-performance, high production yields, and high-quality output. This translates to providing people jobs, earning more profit, and the agility to meet customer demands.

In particular, the Epson SureColour SC-F2130 Direct-to-Garment textile printer enables creativity through outstanding performance as it lets users print directly on cotton fabric. Equipped with PrecisionCore™ technology and an automated maintenance design, this textile printer is easy to use, prints quickly, and increases your overall production capacity without compromising quality.

On the other hand, to be able to meet the demands of your customers without the added time and cost to your business, it’s recommended to consider dye-sublimation textile printers for more complex design printing. For instance, the SureColour F530 series, coupled with Epson’s UltraChrome™ Dye Sublimation Inks, is built and designed to provide the users with ease of use and exceptional efficiency while maintaining superb print quality. You can choose between the two models in this series: the SureColour SC-F530 which comes with Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black inks, or the SureColour SC-F531, which comes with Cyan, Fluorescent Pink, Fluorescent Yellow, and Black inks for a wider variety of applications. These 24-inch, high-performance dye sublimation transfer printers are economically ideal for businesses with small-volume clothing and custom merchandise offerings.

Another option could be Epson’s SureColour SC-F6330 Dye-Sublimation textile printer that is designed for performance and affordability. Ideal for short-volume custom clothing using polyester fabric, this 44-inch dye-sublimation printer is extremely reliable for sheet-based production as it includes some of the latest advancements in printing technology that delivers amazing performance at affordable running costs.

Digital textile printing provides businesses the ability to quickly go from prototype to full production in just weeks.
