Memjet set to revive
colour printing
According to Memjet, its technology
is the first major office printing
breakthrough in more than 20 years,
powering printers for people and
businesses that don’t have time
to wait. This is achieved through a
combination of its stationary, page-
wide printhead, unique nozzle design
and silicon chip design. The printhead
itself uses more than 70,000 ink
nozzles to reach much faster speeds
than traditional laser and inkjet
technologies.
The Evojet Office 2 is fast – it can
print borderless A4 colour pages in one
second; cost-effective – the cost per print
is up to 50% of the cost of colour laser
alternatives; and energy efficient – using a
fraction of the energy of black and white
and colour laser devices (9% – 1.5 Wh for
EvoJet Office 2 vs. 16.5 Wh for a typical
colour laser device printing five pages).
“After many years, a technology
finally is bringing colour printing back
into businesses, at speeds that match the
increasing pace of work life,” says Len
Lauer, Memjet Chairman and CEO.
All inclusive pricing
The Evojet Office 2 will be available
through an all inclusive pricing model that
Memjet says puts businesses in control of
costs and enables them to enjoy all the
benefits of high quality colour printing
that’s fast, accessible and affordable.
For the first time, a print contract will
be offered to businesses on a monthly ‘all-
in’ basis. The contracts require businesses
to simply supply the paper and enjoy
unlimited prints at a fixed monthly cost,
with black and white or colour prints
treated as the same. Memjet’s partners
supply the printer, the ink and the services
to keep it running. Flexible monthly lease
programs from £49 to £149 per month
enable business owners to print 100%
colour, while maintaining a fixed budget
for printing costs, with no surprise bills to
account for at the end of a month.
Bill McGlynn, President of Memjet
Office says, “We are embarking on
something totally new here, enabling
businesses to introduce fleets of Lomond
Evojet 2 devices on a unique all inclusive
print contract that allows affordable colour
print. In the same way the mobile industry
promotes all-you-can-eat data, we see the
end-user adopting a future mind-set of
enjoying 100% colour prints, at no extra
cost to their monthly fee.”
New channel opportunities
Memjet is working with a number of
leading global OEMs, including Océ, a
Canon Company, Toshiba TEC, Lenovo and
LG among others.
Compatech UK is amongst the first
distributors to offer these contracts to
its customer base, already successfully
supplying Lomond Evojet Office printers in
Germany, this marks its first step into the
UK market with these devices.
Compatech Director Mark Holland says
that Compatech UK is in the process of
liaising with print resellers who have had
some interaction with EvoJet printers to
date to understand their needs in line with
the new ‘all in’ route to market.
“We are engaging with those resellers
who have a strong presence in specific,
strategic, vertical sectors; we believe that
to deliver value to both the reseller and
their customer base it is important we
engage with the right number of resellers
within each sector.
“As we are in the early adoption stage
it is difficult at present to confirm the
number of resellers committed to the all in
concept. However I am pleased to confirm
we have engaged with a partner to provide
cartridge refilling for all resellers who are
not able, or do not wish to, refill their own
customer’s empty cartridges.”
