Epson outs Stylus NX430 Small-in-One printer

Shane McGlaun, Sep 6th 2011 Discuss [1]

Epson has rolled out a new printer that will go perfectly with that space saving AIO computer you have. The new Epson printer is the NX430 and while it is an all in one printer, Epson calls the printer a small-in-one because of its small size. The machine measures in at 15.4" x 11.8" x 5.7" and it weighs 9 pounds. That makes the printer considerably smaller than other AIO printers on the market. The printer is fully featured as well.

Gross photo of deceased pet is made from pets own ashes

Shane McGlaun, Aug 18th 2011 Discuss [8]

This may be the most disturbing and gross photo I have ever seen. I can understand that some people love their pets so much that they have photos of them and treat them like kids. I get that pets mean a lot to some people. I can also understand people wanting to bury their pet in a cemetery and all that stuff. Cremating a pet is a bit off though and when you then take those ashes and use them to print a photo of your dead animal that's just plain weird. Read The Full Story

3D printer uses chocolate for printing!

Shane McGlaun, Jul 6th 2011 Discuss [1]

Not long ago I talked about a 3D printer called the Solar Sinter that uses sand and solar power to print 3D objects. That was cool and all, but let's face it printing a 3D object with sand is interesting, but those objects would not taste good at all. If you want to print edible 3D shapes what you need is this 3D printer that uses chocolate as the print medium. Yum. Read The Full Story

HP: Enterprise, not iPad, our TouchPad target

Chris Davies, Jul 1st 2011 Discuss [2]

HP has dismissed criticisms of its TouchPad tablet – which SlashGear reviewed earlier this week – suggesting that incoming webOS updates will smooth out any rough edges and that, rather than taking on the iPad 2 in the consumer market, the company’s main target is business users. “We think there’s a better opportunity for us to go after the enterprise space and those consumers that use PCs” HP VP of worldwide developer relations Richard Kerris told The Loop, going on to point out that the tablet segment is still far from saturated.

Solar Sinter uses sand and sun for 3D printing

Shane McGlaun, Jun 27th 2011 Discuss [1]

A student named Markus Kayser created an awesome project for a MA Design Products project. I hope he graduates with honors simply for the coolness of this project. Kayser created a device that can take advantage of the two unlimited resources out in the desert - sun and sand. The project is dubbed Solar Sinter and is a 3D printer powered by the sun and it uses the sand as the medium to create the objects it prints. Read The Full Story

Blacklight Trick Print Presented by Kobundo

Chris Burns, Jun 21st 2011 Discuss [0]

Printing - what in the world is SlashGear talking about printing for, that's just for graphic design and artwork, right? I say thee nay! This is totally sweet and everyone's going to love it, I'm telling you! This project involves Kobundo, a group that call the following method Trick Print, it being a method of printing which combines luminous RGB ink with regular CMYK ink in a single pass. What's this mean to the lay person? It means that instead of having to lay down CMYK colors from their cartridges first, then RGB second (something noone would do anyway,) they've figured out a method for lying down two color sets at once.

OpenSCAD and 3D printer used to print new house keys

Shane McGlaun, Jun 1st 2011 Discuss [1]

3D printers are cool devices. They use resins or other materials to make real objects like parts and other things that you can use for other tasks. For instance, 3D printers can be used to print parts of a prototype design. A guy has used his 3D printer to print something that many people need - replacement house keys. I mentioned the world's smallest 3D printer a few weeks back. Read The Full Story

Remember the partnership between Lady Gaga and Polaroid which yielded the bizarre "Grey Label" lineup back at CES? It included a pair of sunglasses that shoots and displays photos and videos, as well as an instant camera and the GL10 Instant Mobile Printer. Well, a part of that lineup is finally ready for sale today, and no, sorry, it's not the video-capable sunglasses. Read The Full Story

Manual, automated printer contraption will write texts on the wall

Shane McGlaun, May 18th 2011 Discuss [0]

I can't say that I have ever received a text so cool that I wanted to write it on the wall. If you have thought it might be cool to print out texts to keep for posterity, and you have a big vacant wall Liat Segal has invented a crazy device that is a combination of an automated printer and a manual device you have to push along the wall by hand. The printer was inspired by the old dot matrix printers of yore, which are still used in some industries. Read The Full Story

Kodak Announces ESP Office 2170 All-in-One Inkjet With Mobile And 3D Photo Printing

Rue Liu, Apr 25th 2011 Discuss [0]

Kodak has announced its new addition to the All-in-one Inkjet Printer line, the ESP Office 2170 AiO printer. Like many new printers the Office 2170 will do away with cables as it can connect to your wireless network and it multifunctions to scan, fax, and copy. But it adds to that some features that sound cool, but you may seldom use, including the option to print direct from your mobile devices, print from video, and print 3D photos. Read The Full Story

HP webOS PCs, printers & more promised

Chris Davies, Feb 9th 2011 Discuss [1]

HP may have a new range of webOS devices today – the HP Veer, HP Pre3 and HP TouchPad – but that’s not the end of its ambitions for the platform this year. The company has confirmed that it plans to put webOS on other connected devices, including printers (which we’ve already heard talk of) and, eventually, to the PC.
