Dear Readers:

Life can sometimes seem like a high-speed train ride. As we look out,

changes after changes flash before us – some that seem good, and

others that we’d rather avoid. Before long, we’re stuck looking out of the

window. It’s easy to fall into this trap: assessing each of the individual

changes, but forgetting that they’re all part of a much longer journey.

RechargeAsia magazine’s longer journey hit me as we were

preparing for this August 2012 issue. It wasn’t until our China Editor,

Joe, mentioned that it would be our 100thedition that I realized just how

far we’ve come – and how many of the key transformations facing our

industry we’ve reported and debated in these pages.

We certainly wouldn’t have been able to reach this point without

significant support from industry leaders such as Beijing Laser, CET, SCC, MSE, UniNet, ACM,

ASCEND and so many more – thirty of which offer us their congratulations in this issue. We’re also

grateful to the industry associations, research institutions and our loyal readership for their kind words of

encouragement and valuable feedback. For everyone out there that’s made us a success: thank you.

Special mention must also go out to our talented and dedicated team. Our strong driving force, Eric,

single-handedly put together the first issue of RechargeAsia magazine back in 2004, and since then, we’ve

benefited from the invaluable insight of ever more writers and contributors. We’ve now reached a milestone

that fully realizes our founder Henry’s grand vision – of a publication that acts as a bridge for our industry

between two resource-rich nations, China and the United States. Through solid hard work, RechargeAsia

magazine has become a leading promoter of unparalleled growth between East and West.

In this issue, we continue to promote growth in our industry while also examining the way that we do

business. Be sure to read in particular A View from China by Graham Galliford on p.14, Highlights

of a Hundred Issues compiled by Ronelle Ingram on p.18, Re-branding Can Be a Useful Tool for

Business by Peter Baumann on p.29, and China Compatibles Supplies Development Status.

RechargeAsia magazine will continue to serve as your major source of inspiration and learning for

another 100 issues to come.

Happy reading and stay inspired!

Ms. Sunny Sun

Memjet ’s intellectual property portfolio for fast, affordable color printing centers on revolutionary printheads and the use of Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS). Memjet provides technologies and components to original equipment manufacturers that bring Memjet-powered industrial/commercial and office printers to market. Memjet’s announced partners include: LG Electronics, Inc., Lenovo, Oce (a Canon Company), Toshiba TEC and Delphax, among others. “With our recent acquisition of all Memjet intellectual property and the creation of Memjet Australia, a top priority as a company is our patent strategy,” said Len Lauer, chairman and chief executive officer for Memjet. “Ben’s deep experience in global patent evaluation, filing and maintenance wil l ser ve us well as we accelerate our growth and support our

The Opportunity for Supplies in Latin America

InfoTrends has completed its multi-client study titled The Opportunity for Supplies in Latin America. Through surveys of 600 home respondents and 900 office respondents plus an additional 20 in-depth personal and phone interviews with key industry players, InfoTrends has uncovered differences in purchasing patterns for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) versus alternative brands were quite different for both the home and the office. For home users, more than half of the respondents said they buy OEM products at an office supply store, but about half go to an independent vendor when they to go buy an aftermarket product. By country, Brazilian home users go to a more varied assortment of outlets for their OEM supplies, especially for laser printers. Half of the Brazilian home users that have laser printers report buying their supplies from an office supply store and the remaining half purchase at a variety of channels. In Mexico and Argentina, more home laser printer users reported much more frequently going to the office supply store for their supplies.

Where do you primarily purchase printer cartridges? (HOME; Laser vs. Inkjet)

Business also had a similar response to OEM versus aftermarket supplies. For alternative brand supplies, business also report going to an independent supplies vendor a significant portion of the time. As expected, all business report a significant use of B2B dealers and aftermarket is available at those dealers. Business also report buying supplies at retail for OEM and aftermarket. For both home and office, buying supplies from Internet supplies appears to be very low. However, unlike the purchase patterns by country for home

users, there is not a large difference for Brazil versus the other two countries.

Where do you primarily purchase printer cartridges? (Office; Laser vs. Inkjet)

Although roughly half of the market is using OEM supplies, alternative brand supplies are important to users in this region who have a greater tendency to use refills and build new supplies. “Vendors that remain vigilant on protecting patents may help reduce the availability of new build products in this market, and draw attention to the machine brand supplies” said John Shane of InfoTrends. “Since counterfeiting has such a resounding effect on our respondents, vendors need to help their dealers and customers with education about counterfeit products.” By protecting legitimate supplies today, vendors will be able to reap the dividends of these efforts tomorrow.The Opportunity for Supplies in Latin America takes an in-depth look at Latin America’s supplies market identifying the opportunities and obstacles to business expansion. It provides size and forecast of the Latin American supplies opportunity (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Rest of Latin America (ROLA) as well as provides print volumes and growth opportunities for paper, toner, and ink cartridge use. This study also analyzes end-user preferences in terms of technology and device preference, OEM vs. aftermarket trends, buying behaviors, values, channels, and sustainability/ green issues.Additional information about InfoTrends is available on the Web at www.infotrends.com.

Office Max Sees the Cartridge Half FullBased on an article by Joe Harris, www.courthousenews.com, In Belleville, Illinois, Richard Schaefer is filing a class action suit against Office Max for refilling cartridges only halfway. Office Max’s common practice is to charge $10 for refilled cartridges, but the company does not disclose that they are only half-filled. Schaefer argues that a re-fill should mean filled up and not half empty. He is seeking damages for “consumer fraud, deceptive trade and unjust enrichment.”

Thailand Hard Copy Peripherals Market Remained Strong at the Start of 2012 Despite Local ChallengesDespite a drastic decline in government, corporate and consumer spending at the end of 2011 due to severe flooding in and around the Bangkok region, the printer and multifunction peripherals (MFP) market managed to bounce back from the crisis at the start of this year. The market recovered by 18.1% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) in 1Q 2012, representing 480,000 unit shipments compared to 407,000 unit shipments in the previous quarter. “Inkjet printers and MFPs, which are popular choices of home users, recovered after a decline in 4Q 2011, posting a QoQ growth of 11.4%. Inkjet printers and MFPs took 71.7% of the total HCP market in 1Q 2012, which was close to 344,000 unit shipments,” says Donovan Low, Associate Market Analyst for IDCs Peripherals research in Thailand. Inkjet MFP experienced an overall growth of 10.7% while inkjet printers registered a growth of 13.2% in 1Q 2012. “The laser printers and MFP market experienced robust growth of 46.5% on a QoQ basis in 1Q 2012. Public and commercial tenders for managed print service (MPS) solutions contributed the most to the growth. This is in addition to bigger commercial deals away from the crisis hit Bangkok region such as Chiang Mai and Chonburi. The laser MFP market experienced a 33.9% QoQ growth while the laser single function printer (SFP) market recorded 55.7% growth in Q1 2012”, adds Donovan. Donovan continues, “Despite the flood crisis in recent months, the overall recovery of the Thailand market has taken shape. In the meantime, consumers in Thailand will continue to remain sensitive to price changes and vendors are likely to scramble to introduce new models into the market to replace old ones, and offer more end user promotions to both residential as well as commercial users”. Figure 1

As recover y effort eases and it is business as u sua l f o r mos t enterprises, overall spending from the government and private sector is likely to increase. T h i s c r e a t e s opportunities for new projects and

deals. At the same time, previous projects, which were put on hold, will resume. On top of that, end user and consumer spending are also set to increase especially during the school re-opening periods. Considering all these factors, IDC expects the printer and MFP markets to grow by 5.4% in 2012.For more information about purchasing this research or to purchase this data, please visiting www.idc.com.

Updates on the Canon Drum Gear ITC and Court Cases in the U.S.Since Canon filed suit in the U.S. against dozens of third party supplies vendors in January this year for violating its gear patents, many firms have decided to settle with the OEM rather than engage in a protracted legal battle. Even more of them have defaulted in the concurrent U.S. International Trade Commission’s (ITC) Section 337 investigation. With a few notable exceptions including Green Project and a group of companies affiliated with Clover Holdings, it appears that most companies named in Canon’s patent infringement suits would rather not contest the matter. The Canon ‘803 and ‘454 patents, which cover the design of the twisted-prism couplings, or gears, are very strong and many companies do not want to risk paying big fines for violating them if they do not reach a settlement with Canon. These are the very same patents that Canon sued ten Ninestar companies and ten of its channel partners for violating back in June 2010. Canon had little trouble winning that case. Several of Ninestar’s channel partners quickly defaulted in the previous matter and in little time all of the companies settled with Canon, agreeing to halt the sale of the infringing products in the U.S.. Outside of the U.S., there has been speculation for some time that Canon will take legal actions in Europe. The Recycler reported on 10 July 2012 that Canon has taken action against several European-based importers, distributors and resellers of new toner cartridges (clones) imported into the European Union that breach Canon’s European patent EP 0 735 432 B1. It would be wise for any company that sells third-party supplies to avoid selling cartridges that use gears which may infringe any Canon intellectual property as well as any of the OEM’s other patents. Some aftermarket manufacturers are marketing compatible new toner cartridges with a gear that they claim do not infringe Canon’s patents. Unfortunately, however, we understand that these cartridges infringe other patents that the OEM holds. It is very likely that once Canon has settled its cases against the various firms that have violated its gear patents; the OEM will begin looking for companies that do not respect its other patents. It is not likely that Canon will stop prosecuting companies once it has tasted success in the gear lawsuits. UTec has high regards for intellectual property and respects the patent rights of others. We devote substantial resources into the development of innovative products and via our R&D and manufacturing partners, have applied for close to 2,000 patents worldwide with numerous granted already.

The Guidelines for Email Marketing to Asia Pacific’s Billion MuslimsBy Curt Keller

Curt Keller is CEO and founder of one of the world ’s leading, Web-based email marketing services, Benchmark Email. While Benchmark’s client base ranges from work-at-home travel agents to large, multinational companies, Mr. Keller remains f iercely dedicated to addressing the email and online marketing challenges facing small and mid-sized businesses. A pioneer in the realm of permission-based marketing, Mr. Keller started Benchmark Email in early 2004 and quickly grew the Southern California-based company from a three-person operation to a major International player with services for people in India, China, South America, Germany and Japan. Benchmark currently remains a member of two of the industry’s most exclusive consortium, the Email Sender & Provider Coalition and Returnpath.net. A vocal advocate for good, industry-wide email marketing practices and standards, Mr. Keller is a regular blogger for Allbusiness.com and Imediaconnection.com.

You’ve just returned from a major trade show in Japan or China, and you feature a booth photo of a buxom model in a very revealing swimsuit holding one of your primary digital print technology consumable units in your email newsletter. Congratulations! You’ve just offended 88.1% of your audience in Indonesia, 67% of subscribers in Brunei Darussalam, and 61.4% of all Malaysians. Even nations which are not specifically seen as primarily Islamic have considerable percentages of Muslims: one out of every ten citizens in China, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka are Muslim, as are one out of five in India. In fact the Islamic population of China and India alone is greater than the entire population of the United States. Nearly two thirds of the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims live in the Asia Pacific region, and many of the conventions which email marketers take for granted range from objectionable to outright obscene for them. This article should serve as a basic guideline to crafting email marketing approaches which adhere to the various restrictions of the faith while still maintaining business effectiveness. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) spent much of his life as a trader It may seem that there is a fundamental struggle between Islam and the practices of marketing for much of the rest of the world due to the fact that Islamic practices do not acknowledge the division between religion and secular beliefs. Even so, business in Islam is a function which is primarily applicable on a social level, as a considerable portion of the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was spent in trade. The rules for governing conduct in business interactions are contained within the Islamic belief structure, along with

a coherent basis for resolving problems throughout the duration of trading goods and services, and the assurance of a free market economy. All of these guidelines are founded on the maximization of benefit for the community and the individual. Founda t iona l v a lue s wh ich a re the cornerstone of business relations include: • Community• Honesty• Kindness• Modesty• Peacefulness• Purity• Respect• Sincerity Additionally, Islam does not allow for branding to be separated from the faith itself. The aspect of sincerity in trade relationship is defined as two parties doing business in order to complete a good deed, not simply to accomplish obvious benefits on a material basis. This is a guideline which impacts every domain of marketing in Islam, from broadcast advertising to email marketing. The standard social media dictum is actually the preferred Islamic marketing approach Consider the standard social media dictum that you should sel l without outwardly seeming to sell, in order to achieve a value relationship with your customer: This is a fairly close correlation to the preferred basis for email marketing within Islam, as an approach which maximizes value is much more desirable than an approach which maximizes profits. Halal concepts do not apply only to food, but digital print technology as well Rules established within the sunnah and Qur’an essentially govern the basic

fundamentals of marketing. There is vital importance given to the area of quality in all aspects of business due to the basic Islamic principles which dictate the process of production is required to be pure and innocent from start to finish, a process known as halal and its opposite, the forbidden harram. You may be familiar with this term as applied to the provision of food products which are allowed under Islamic dietary guidelines, but it is a concept that actually per vades a l l Mus l im products f rom fashion to toys, and of course, digital print technology and consumables. Sustainable, eco-friendly, safe product guidelines… formulated in the 7th century All goods marketed to Muslims have to meet the requirements for safety to humans and protection of the environment. Acceptable practices must be used for the manufacturing of products as they shouldn’t cause unfavorable consequences on the environment. Islamic principles are therefore not much different than that of modern “sustainable” development. Products must be clean and pure while also meet the standards of safety in that they don’t cause physical or mental harm to communities or individuals, such as with alcohol, weapons, gambling, tobacco, and games which could be dangerous for children. These seemingly modern guidelines are even more remarkable considering that they were formulated in the seventh century! Any marketing containing exaggeration is deemed a lie The Islamic faith mandates that people should communicate in a manner which is direct, kind and polite. This philosophy is pertinent in social communications but also for activities of a promotional nature

such as email marketing. Any marketing content which consists of exaggeration is deemed as being a type of lie, whether it works through embellishment or even metaphorical ly. The vast major ity of promotion and advertising directed to the Muslim world is primarily focused on:• Traditions• Durability• Overall integrity• Quality of products• Reputation of sellers A variety of marketing techniques are harram, or strictly forbidden Deception in advertising is also forbidden by Islamic faith, and the disclosure to the consumer of any defects prior to sale is also mandated. Additional marketing techniques for promotion to Muslims which are strictly harram include:• The use of fear• Emotional manipulation• Unsupported research• False testimony• Sexual appeal These fundamental guidelines are designed to prevent marketers from taking advantage of basic human instincts in their consumers which would unfairly benefit the marketers through “illegitimately” increased profits and market share. Prohibition on suggestive language, behavior, and stereotyping or objectification

of women Islam specifically prohibits suggestive language or behaviors and any stereotyping of females or their objectification for the purpose of marketing. It may seem very difficult for people raised in a secular society to comprehend the extent of this prohibition. We are accustomed to being bombarded with images so fundamentally sexual in nature that we have become calloused to them and therefore consider them mainstream, as in the case of the conventional trade show booth photo. The restrictions Islam places on marketing do not obviate women from being portrayed as representatives or endorsers, but center on whether the presence can be considered suggestive according to a very strict standard. A woman can be fully covered in clothing but still be featured in a pose or facial expression which can be seen as sensual, and that is just as objectionable to Muslims as the pouty model in the teeny bikini. Muslims will not buy a halal product simply because it is halal Digital print technology and consumables brands appealing to the one quarter of the world’s population which is Muslim must align their online marketing efforts to the values incorporated within Islam, but it is not sufficient to rely on a theological approach as the driving force for the entire campaign.

Your Muslim customers will not buy a halal consumable product because your email marketing campaign is halal. Just like consumers anywhere else in the world, they want products which reflect their lifestyle, meet their requirements and preferences, and provide quality and value. Portraying your digital print technology and consumable business as compliant with sharia or as wholly halal will still not imply to the Muslim consumer that it is an Islamic brand. Sincerity is one of the fundamental prerequisites of Muslim marketing and any brand which undertakes a shallow and transparent strategy of seeming Islamic when in fact their intent is only to increase their Muslim market share will face a backlash so severe that they would have been better off not setting up a separate Islamic appeal in the first place. Applying all of the tenets of a successful social media strategy to your Islamic email marketing will prove the best approach: Focus on truth, honesty, quality, and reputation, while respecting and providing value to your customer, and you can’t go wrong.

Image is everything, as they say, or at least a crucial first impression. That’s why businesses, even those that have been around for many years, must remain constantly vigilant of how others, especially customers and potential customers, perceive them in the marketplace and identify their brand. The company name, or the trade name of the business, is vital in this regard. The name of a business may be descriptive in nature, identifying the products or services the business provides. Or the name might be fanciful, a creative concoction chosen for its distinctiveness, a powerful trademark that consumers and customers come to identify over time as the source of the company’s goods. The names of products are also important factors in how customers perceive a brand. So are advertising and marketing efforts, the quality of customer service and many other factors experienced by consumers or customers on a regular basis. Often, companies decide to re-brand, changing some or all of these factors. A re-branding decision may occur for numerous reasons that include, among others, a change in strategic direction, refreshing and/or modernizing an older brand, or distancing the company from recent troubles. Sometimes the decision to re-brand is motivated by tough times. Re-branding becomes a crucial element in a campaign to reposition the company for renewed growth or new markets that can reinvigorate the business and save it from a tough economy or new competitors. A recent article discussed the re-branding efforts of one company, Consolidated Flooring, Inc., which found itself in tough times beginning in 2008 when the recession hit, even though it had been around for 25 years. The company, located less than 50 miles from Washington D.C. decided that the solution to its problem was to land the Federal Government as a customer, a shift

from its residential roots. A considerable effort was made, including submission of many bids for government jobs. But the company was unsuccessful. So they decided to re-brand. They did so by changing their name to Specialty Government Flooring. Creating a new logo/trademark and marketing their new name to government contracting officers and others allowed them to finally break through.

Faced with a challenging business environment, a business needs to refocus its strategic efforts. Re-branding can be a valuable tool in this regard. For over 35 years small businesses, major corporations, public entities, individuals and insurance companies have depended on Tharpe & Howell, LLP, to deliver pragmatic, innovative, cost-effective legal advice, civil litigation and transactional solutions.

They come with ISO print speeds of up to 15 ipm (black, A4) and draft speed prints of up to 34ppm (black, A4). The Epson DURABrite Ultra inks also produce smudge-, water- and fade-resistant laser-

quality text prints as well as superior photo prints compared to laser printers. The Epson WorkForce series also boasts of a range of connectivity options. In addition to a standard USB 2.0 interface, the printers have built in Ethernet, and Wi-Fi. Furthermore, the Epson WorkForce W F - 7 5 1 1 h a s a h i g h

performance fax as well as memory card slots and USB ports which users can print image or PDF files from, or scan items to. The printers can also print photos and documents from Apple iOS or Android devices through Apple Airprint, Epson iPrint; or from cloud services like Google cloud print apps and Evernote.

“The Epson WorkForce A3 printers have been designed to provide our business customers a truly exhaustive set of imaging and printing capabilities with low running cost,” says Mr. Samba Moorthy, Director – Sales & Marketing. “From wireless, low cost, high quality A3 document or photo printing to scanning, to faxing and smartphone or cloud service printing, there is virtually nothing these new printers cannot do.” With the individual cartridges on board, users can choose to replace only ink colours that have run out instead of multicolour, composite ink cartridges. This reduces ink wastage and helps users to maximize cost savings. Furthermore, Epson inkjet cartridges do not have print heads attached, making them more affordable to purchase and easier to recycle after they are depleted.

First introduced in March 2011, the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600/MFP 4555 engine is a 43-62ppm (depending on model), 1200 dpi multi-function engine. The new CE390A and CE390X cartridges are rated for 10,000 and 24,000 pages respectively. As with all mono black HP cartridges to date the chip is mainly controlling the toner low functions and of course the HP/Non HP cartridge message. HP in i t ia l l y re leased the MFP machines first, then a few months later the Enterprise 600 series was released These are nice cartridges to do in that there are no plastic rivets to cut or drill, All the screws are the same size, and no glue type seals are used anywhere inside.The current machines that use these new cartridges are as follows:HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601nHP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601dnHP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M602nHP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M602dnHP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M602xHP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M603nHP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M603dnHP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M603xhHP-LaserJet M4555h mfpHP-LaserJet M4555f mfpHP-LaserJet M4555fskm mfp These cartridges are also very profitable to make! The retail price for the CE390A is $238.50* and the CE390X is $398.56*

*Pricing as of December 2011One very interesting note is that the printer uses the laser scanner unit to eliminate residual charges from the OPC drum. Here is what the service manual says on this: “The residual charge on the

photosensitive drum surface is eliminated to avoid uneven image. The residual charge of the previous image is left on the drum surface after the transfer operation and this affects the following image formation. The product eliminates this residual charge by emitting a laser beam to the drum surface. The drum charge elimination is operated only during the last rotation period”. So basically after the wiper blade cleans the drum, the laser fires again at a different intensity to electrically clean the drum. The PCR is still charging the drum with both AC and DC signals so it is still cleaning the drum electrically too, but the laser is helping do this by eliminating most of the charges before the PCR fires. This is most likely needed because of the speed of the machine.(Up to 62ppm) Figure 1 shows the shipping seals in place on a new OEM cartridge. The main seal separates the two halves of the cartridge relieving some of the pressure on the various spring loaded and foam assemblies.

metal bar by pressing it out of the small clip. See Figure 3

4) On the opposite side of the cartridge, carefully pry off the drum cover plastic arm. The spring will probably pop off, take care not to loose it. We will go over the installation at the end of this article. See Figure 4

5) Remove the metal bar from the left side, and remove the entire drum cover assembly. Make sure you put the spring in a safe place. See Figure 5

6) Remove the 5 screws from the left end cap. See Figures 67) Remove the right side end cap from the cartridge. Note that the gears do not come off the end cap. See Figure 78) Remove the left side end cap. Both

halves will come apart easily. Be careful not to damage the drum or mag roller sleeve. See Figure 8

9) Remove the plastic drum bushing/gear train assembly and screw. See Figures 9 & 10

10) Remove the drum. Lift it up from the

large gear side, pull over and remove. There is no need to remove the drum axle pin. If it is removed, there is a chance that the hole in the plastic wall that it seats in will become enlarged slightly allowing the axle and drum to move slightly. This will cause banding. See Figures 11 & 12

11) Remove the PCR. See Figure 13

12) Remove the two screws from the wiper blade. See Figure 14

14) Due to the high speed and page counts of these cartridges, we recommend that the wiper blades be replaced. 15) Note that there is not any type of sticky sealant on the wiper blade. There is just normal foam and felt seals under the blade. Remove the wiper blade from the cartridge, and clean out the waste toner. Be careful not to damage the spring coming out from the black PCR holder. See figure 15

16) Clean the PCR with your standard PCR cleaner. 17) Clean the felt and foam seals under the wiper blade. Make sure they are not compressed or they may leak. See Figure 16

18) Install the wiper blade and two screws.

Be careful not to damage the small contact that comes off the PCR spring on the black holder side. See Figure 17

19) Install the cleaned PCR. Place a small amount of conductive grease on the black PCR saddle. Remember, when using conductive grease, more is not better! Also place a small amount of white lithium grease on the white holder side. See Figure 18

20) Instal l the drum, drum bushing assembly and screw. Make sure the gears from the bushing assembly align with the drive gear on the hopper. See Figures 19 & 20 Place the waste chamber aside.

21) On the supply chamber, carefully pry off the Magnetic roller (MRS) cover, and remove. See Figure 2123) Remove the MRS drive gear. See

Figure 22

24) Note the location of the spring that sits between the MRS holder and the hopper. Remove the two screws, spring and the holder. See Figure’s 23, 24 & 25

25) Remove the MRS assembly. The left (non-gear) bushings may come off with the roller. If they do not, remove them so they are not lost or damaged. See Figures

26) Lift up on the clear scraper covers and remove the two Dr. Blade screws. Remove the two scrapers and the doctor blade. See Figure’s 28, 29 & 3026) Remove the fill plug from the hopper. See Figure 3127) Clean out all the remaining toner in the supply hopper.

28) Note the magnetic seals on the MRS and the DB sealing foam. Make sure both are clean. See Figure 3230) There are two separate mixing blades in the toner hopper. The largest is on the bottom, with the smallest on the top. Each is driven by its own separate drive gear. See Figure 3331) The upper mag roller section of the

toner hopper “Floats” on a series of foam seals. The upper half can be removed from the hopper, but some of the seals will be destroyed. This may become necessary in order to seal the cartridge. We will keep you informed on the availability of a seal system and how to install it as our testing continues. The foam isolates the mag roller from the vibrations of the mixing augers, and allows smoother prints. 31) Clean the mag roller contacts, and replace the conductive grease. If the plating on the contact is worn they should be replaced or banding will most likely occur. See Figure 34

32) Install the doctor blade, be careful of the alignment pins. For now do NOT install the scrapers or screws. See Figure 3533) Clean the mag. roller with a dedicated mag roller cleaner. On the left side of the

mag roller there is a small hub that is keyed into the MRS holder. Align the hub with its slot and install the hub as well as the entire MRS assembly. See Figure’s 36, 37 & 38

33) Install the two doctor blade scrapers and screws. The clear scraper covers must sit on top of the roller. Installing them now will lessen the chance of damaging them or getting any grease on them. See Figure 39

34) Install the holder and spring. Make sure that the spring is compressed so it fits into its slot. This is easily done with a small screwdriver as the holder is pressed in place. If you are having a hard time getting the holder in place, take a moment to look at the angles of the plastic holder. They have to align with the corresponding angles in the hopper for it to fit. Install the two screws. See Figures 40, 41 & 42

36) Install the MRS drive gear. See Figure 43

37) Install the keyed MRS cover. Make sure that the keyed hole in the cover matches the keyed end of the magnet in the MRS assembly. Note that the post on the front or DB side is longer than the back post See Figures 44 & 45

38) Fill with appropriate amount of M4555 toner, replace the fill plug. See

41) Install the left side end cap onto the toner hopper. It is easier to install the end cap on the supply hopper first, install one screw and slide the waste chamber into the end cap. Install another screw from the end cap into the waste hopper to hold it in place See Figures 48 & 49

42) Install the right side end cap and 5 screws. See Figure 5043) Install the remaining 3 screws on the left side end cap. See Figure 5144) Install the metal bars from the drum cover on both sides of the cartridge. Place the bars in front of their slots and press in place with a small screwdriver. See Figure 5245) Install the spring into the drum cover arm as shown. Pull the upper tail of the

spring until it fits into the notch in the arm hub. See Figure 53

46) Install the arm onto the cartridge. Pull back all the way and release the spring from the notch so that the tail fits as shown. See Figure 5447) Replace the chip on the top of the cartridge. Replacing this chip will enable

the toner low functions of both the cartridge and the machine again. See Figure 55

48) Install the plastic separator seal. This seal keeps the two halves slightly separated relieving the pressure of the various foam and spring assemblies. See Figures 56 & 57

正如《亚洲再生业》杂志的创办人 Henry Sun 先生在回顾

当中写到的那样。似乎就是转瞬间,已经八年了,《亚洲再生业》

杂志也出版到了第 100 期。这是个值得庆祝的时刻。在这个平

台上,每位亚再员工,都尝到了甜、酸、苦、辣,也得到了人

生最好的锻炼。而 100 期杂志的发展历程也见证了中国耗材行

业不断发展前进的步伐。

从杂志到论坛,到展会,到现在网络新媒体等业务,亚洲

再生业的发展不仅使我们得以利用这个媒体喉舌,为业界服务,

为业界的健康发展略尽绵薄之力。也让行业内越来越多的知名

企业和同仁了解了我们,认可了《亚洲再生业》杂志,成就了《亚

洲再生业》杂志在行业内的知名度和口碑,也让《亚洲再生业》

杂志成为业内举足轻重的大刊物之一。

这八年,行业内有太多的变化,杂志出版第一期时,许多

国外客户只知中国的产品便宜,但对中国再生耗材的产品质量

并不信任。所以初期的《亚洲再生业》杂志以推广中国耗材企业,

提高耗材行业自律意识为出发点,先后筹备并发表了许多切实

结合中国耗材企业实际情况,分析行业发展趋势的纪实性文章。

之后,337 案件系列调查的展开,ITC 对于中国再生耗材

的处罚决定等等一系列问题,将专利知识产权纠纷摆在了所有

再生耗材后市场企业的发展道路上。《亚洲再生业》杂志明显

的感觉到广大读者对于耗材领域专利案件的求知需求增加,越

来越多的耗材行业同仁希望通过杂志的平台了解欧美等西方耗

材市场对于专利知识产权保护的相关法案及判例;各国对于再

生耗材不同的政策法规以及美国 337 案件的相关法律常识。而

《亚洲再生业》也没有让读者失望,再此期间出版了一系列关

于 337 案件调查的分析研究性文章,为企业答疑解惑。同时关

注各国耗材领域相关法案的出台和实际案例。并聘请了相关专

家就规避专利侵权纠纷的应对策略展开解析。

随着全球耗材市场的不断发展扩张,《亚洲再生业》杂志

又敏锐的觉察到耗材行业对于新兴市场探索的渴望加剧,随之

先后于马来西亚,新加坡,印度尼西亚举办了东南亚国际办公

耗材展以及亚洲影像论坛(Asia Imaging Forum),而且为了

更方便全球耗材行业更好的了解东南亚新兴市场的讯息,《亚

洲再生业》对东南亚耗材市场进行了全方位细致的报道和分析,

从而让更多的企业开始意识到东南亚耗材市场所蕴含的商机与

潜力。

到了近期,影像耗材市场的发展日新月异,而《再生耗材

行业》的技术创新和进步也逐渐走在了 OEM 制造的前面:生

物碳粉技术,中国自主知识产权打印机研发成功,SCC 全新反

复利用充电辊覆膜技术,天威 Smart Jump VP 技术等等,再生

耗材企业已经不仅仅是满足于 OEM 制造的跟随者,开始有意

向的引领耗材行业的发展。而为了更好的服务这一趋势,亚洲

再生业的技术性版块的文章也不断推陈出新,紧紧的把握着影

像耗材行业技术研发的脉搏,并通过自身的专业和资源优势,

为这样的技术创新提供支持和帮助。翻开这一时期的杂志,你

可以明显的感受到浓浓的学术气息,最新技术的报道和分析,

前沿学术问题的探讨都可以在这些杂志上找到。

可以肯定的是,不管过去的多少期,《亚洲再生业》杂志

的内容和特色都不是固定不变的,而是随着行业的进步和发展

而不断更新。改版——突破——再改变——再突破,就是在这

样的不断轮回当中《亚洲再生业》杂志不断的完善着,不仅更

加贴近行业的发展动态,也更加贴近企业贴近再生耗材生产的

第一线,可以说影像耗材领域的方方面面都在《亚洲再生业》

杂志的每一期上有所体现。

过去的 100 期杂志是《亚洲再生业》从新生到成长的过程,

而新的篇张正在翻开,再生耗材的同仁对《亚洲再生业》杂志

所寄予的厚望我们不会辜负,未来,《亚洲再生业》杂志将以

更加完美的姿态,展现在所有再生耗材的客户和同仁面前。

中国再生兼容耗材的发展现状China Compatibles Supplies Development Status

广告届有句话“只卖对的,不卖贵

的”,这句话在办公耗材行业内同样有

它的深刻的内函和精彩的故事。

几年前的金融危机为各行业带来一

个信息,就是要想方设法降低成本,使

利润最大化,但金融危机为再生行业的

发展带来了商机。在各行业紧缩银根,

利润下滑之时,中国的耗材市场却是发

展的。2010 年中国耗材市场达 527 亿元

人民币,比往年增长 26.6%,兼容耗材

占整体市场份额 35.4%,约 201 亿元人

民币。预计未来 5 年内中国打印耗材市

场规模将保持增长态势。

一、现状

2012 年珠海市政府颁发新政策,支

持促进打印设备及耗材产业转型升级的

加快发展,并连续 5 年每年在专项资金

中安排 1000 万元人民币,扶持打印设备

及耗材产业技术创新、公共平台建设和

市场的开拓。

业内专家提出:对环保型耗材的理

性选择将决定中国兼容与再生耗材的命

运。如能规定 80% 以上必须采购符合相

关标准的、具有自主知识产权的、安全的、

低成本的兼容与再生耗材,那么政府导

向将引发全社会的消费走向,中国兼容

与再生耗材行业这盘棋也就能盘活了。

但目前在中国的国家机关是如何现

状呢?有位曾在国家机关工作的同事讲:

当时用一台惠普的 2550 机型,一台机器

是 5000 元,一套彩粉是 4990 元。惠普、

佳能这些打印机厂商并没有把兼容耗材

放在眼里,以皇帝的女儿不愁嫁心态小

视着中国的再生耗材产业,因为有这个

市场,尤其在我们的国家机关。

市场经济竞争后,在低廉价格的诱

惑下,兼容耗材开始逐渐蚕食原装耗材

在市场的份额。2011 年三个打印机巨头

轮番上阵,纷纷推出廉价的喷墨打印方

案,这场耗材之战,最终在爱普生 29 元

墨盒上市之时得以终结,并到达极致。

如果说原装厂商的降价大潮是不得已而

为之,这是人们期盼已久的,这也要归

功于民族品牌耗材的发展壮大,实事证

明:原装耗材是可以优惠些的。

业内调查机构:从 2007 年开始到

2014 年期间,全球耗材售价将会逐渐走

低,降幅最大的要归属 HP 和 Dell 耗材,

降幅最大达到 30%,Epson,Brother,

Kodak 降 幅 接 近 10%, 与 此 同 时,

Canon 产 品 反 而 提 价, 其 主 要 归 咎 于

Canon 的产品中逐步增加芯片。但是总

体而言,全球耗材因为经济形势和迫于

兼容耗材的便利性,原装耗材开始降价,

这将成为一个不争的事实。

从耗材市场整体来看,在中国,经

过数十年的发展,通用耗材已经被相当

一部分消费者认同。而原装耗材在市场

的压力下,推出低价耗材来稳定用户。

从耗材行业来看,通用耗材行业目

前的发展状况仍是良莠不齐。有实力的

厂商走品牌化道路的步伐加快,小厂商

靠差异化战略突破发展,小作坊仍然是

以低价的劣质耗材在搅乱市场。

从耗材产品上来看,激光耗材成为

高增长主流产品,喷墨耗材依托个性化

需求发展,定制整体解决方案等服务寻

求新的利润增长点,这些显示着国内厂

商更加成熟。生物原料、太阳能等新技术、

新原料、新环境得到进一步国家的重视。

目前天威依据医院、邮政、军事不同领

域的需求,定制了不同的耗材产品及整

体解决方案,得到了市场上的认可。

中国的知名品牌耗材都可以匹敌

OEM 产品质量。通用耗材市场规模整体

在增长,尤其是内销和政采市场发展迅

速。2011 年中国通用耗材进入政采市场

有 4 家:天威、格之格、北京莱盛、山

东富美。

二、发展

中国的再生兼容耗材发展走得的是

一条不平坦的道路。在初期,打印机厂

商对用户提出要求:使用兼容耗材不给

予保修,不给相应的保障等等。对再生

耗材企业给予了足够的限制:在墨盒上

加入芯片,及技术新应用,如固件升级、

韧体触摸等等,增加了再生厂商的破解

难度和成本。事实证明,原装厂商无论

如何提高技术,道高一尺魔高一丈,最

终各类新品打印耗材还是如期发展,通

过几场专利官司后,中国再生厂商开始

重视技术创新与专利产权,并发展迅猛。

1. 专利数

在天威与爱普生进行了长达 5 年的

专利官司后,建立了自己的专利库。天

威在中国、日本、韩国、欧盟和美国等

地申请了 1600 多件自主专利,天威超过

50% 的生意来自专利产品,不仅保护了

公司的利润,而且促进了行业的发展。

最近 6 年来,耗材行业官司不断,但这

种情况正在改变,某些 OEM 已经开始侵

犯我们的专利了, 2011 年 1 月,日本精

工爱普生株式会社正式向中国国家知识

产权局专利委员会提出珠海天威 2 项专

利无效的请求,以此证明,中国的品牌

耗材被市场认可了,一样是过硬的。

6 年中,中国的耗材专利增长了 15

倍,从十几件,到 2011 年底上升 1502 件,

占国内公开的耗材专利总量(含 OEM 厂

商)约 30%,占公开的兼容耗材行业专

利总量近 70%,居全球兼容耗材行业首

位。“天威杯”的举办推动了行业专利

发展。2011 年初,国家知识产权局表彰

了天威控股有限公司董事长贺良梅为此

做出的贡献,向他颁发了“全国企事业

知识产权管理先进工作者”荣誉证书,

这是中国打印耗材行业内唯一的获选者。

中国的耗材市场迅速发展给国外打

印厂商带来压力。

2. 创新技术

中国通用再生耗材的出路在创新上。

技术性的创新,成功的例子,珠海赛纳

推出自主知识产权的“奔图”激光打印机,

可形成自身体系的耗材,打破原装一统

天下的耗材使用格局。珠海天威垂直整

合的经营管理,避免零部件的“一损俱损”

的连带效应,自主研发了大量的通用耗

材零部件,保证了品质统一,自身形成

产业链的格局。这些优秀公司的创新性

技术,为通用耗材大发展铺垫了基石。

2011 年天威推出的新技术为通用耗

材品类开拓了新时期,使全新通用耗材

进入占据打印机市场份额 60% 的跳动式

显影打印机市场成为可能。2012 年 4 月,

首次应用这技术的捷跃成像卡盒上市 1

个月内即被抢购一空。

捷跃成像卡盒的打印页产量超过

3500 页。新产品 CB435A 页产量比原装

增加了 133%。单页打印成本与原装相比

成本节约 60%。定影牢固,无底灰,可

应用于硫酸纸、铜版纸等多种介质,二

氧化碳排放量比原装少 75% 及其以上,

为开拓打印市场奠定了最坚实的基础。

2011 年很多兼容墨水厂商推出的铜

版纸墨水,将喷墨应用于印刷制版方面,

具有创新进取精神,显示出国产兼容墨

水不再跟随原厂商步其后尘,逐步跨入

引领行业新应用的时代。

3. 中国品牌耗材厂商已壮大

以天威为例,产品远销 120 多个国

家和地区。天威不仅是产业集群的龙头

企业,也自成一个产业集群,其零部件

80% 在本地生产,天威形成的产业链,

在国际市场上不断提升品牌影响力。

赛纳打印科技股份有限公司研发的

奔图打印机,打破了国际巨头对中国打

印机市场长达 30 年的垄断,迈入了全球

原装厂商第一阵营。

以北京莱盛高新技术有限公司 18 年

的发展,成为全国首家激光打印机耗材 /

配件专业供应商,是他们第一次把中国

的配件带入了国际市场。

目前中国的耗材市场是民族品牌耗

材与国外品牌耗材共羸市场。

三、路仍很长

原装耗材、通用耗材间竞争在一段

时间仍为激烈。这主要在于:

1. 原装厂商的降价带来市场更加激

烈的竞争态势

融入新的芯片技术已经很难完全

阻止兼容再生耗材厂商发展,于是打

印机厂商进行战略调整,开始大幅度降

低耗材购买成本,首当其中的是爱普生

2011 年在中国市场推出 ME 系列一体机

ME350, 以低的 29 元原装墨盒为亮点,

并且开始全面进军学生家庭市场。佳能

推 出 全 新 的 E500 一 体 机 并 搭 配 88 元

800 页实在的低价耗材。同时惠普也开

始大幅度降低墨盒购买成本,仅 70 多元,

首次降低黑白单页打印成本仅 1 毛钱。

这些的战略性调整,对于再生兼容为生

的耗材厂商是挑战。

OME 降价了,兼容耗材未来如何发

展,这个问题值得所有耗材企业思考。

兼容耗材本来以实惠立足市场,但经过

多年的发展,已不是人们想像那样简单,

和轻易打压得了再生耗材产业。因为兼

容耗材不再是滥竽充数的不良产品,而

出现了众多知名品牌。经过近 20 年的发

展 , 兼容再生耗材已形成气候,建立的成

熟渠道,已立足于市场之林。

2. 通用耗材进入政采市场困难重重

从 2009 年开始各省的政采目录中,

出现了中国的再生耗材项目,国外原装

耗材和国产耗材分包竞标,这是政府采

购的一种创新尝试,是对中国自主创新

型企业一种扶持。但 3 年的政采市场并

不是一帆风顺,业绩也是略显仓白。这

里即有采购人员的认可度、采购习惯性,

也有中国再生兼容耗材市场运作上的弊

端,如原装厂商多家竞标,全是一个厂

商的产品,价位不会差距太远。我们是

多家产品,价格相差甚远,会对整个中

国的再生兼容产品打上不好标签,不利

于中国民族品牌的产品在政采市场上的

发展。

3. 在利润薄的情况下耗材厂商的坚

在利润薄的情况下耗材厂商的坚守

就是成功。在耗材产品低价化的情况下,

兼容再生耗材能否在市场中继续生存?

其中答案很简单,兼容耗材仍然是暴利,

经历了激烈的竞争,兼容耗材厂商虽然

利润在不断降低,但是兼容耗材的市场

份额已经形成,由此兼容耗材目前也面

临着薄利多销的局面,就算利润率再低,

兼容耗材市场已经做大,所以兼容耗材

并不畏惧。而原装厂商的耗材低价化策

略始终没有成效。

4. 技术创新和专利产品是发展的出

贺良梅说,我们身处一个非常好的

行业,并且我们的生意会做得非常好。

但前提是:避免低价和侵权。这个市场

非常大,如果它也是健康的,那么大家

都能赚到钱。但总有一些贪婪而愚蠢的

人,为了快点赚钱而不择手段,即使这样,

最后他将一无所获。所以技术创新和专

利产品才是我们走向发展的出路。

结束语:

近几年整个耗材行业,在井然有序地演

绎着自己的精彩,不管是专利争夺案,还是原

装兼容的价格战,各公司依然坚守着中国内地

的耗材市场,原因是,中国拥有 10 倍于美国

的人口,而打印机的总销售量却仅为美国市场

的十分之一!中国内地耗材市场的巨大潜力让

中国成为了商家必争之地。

RechargeAsia Magazine Accomplish its 100th Issue Milestone!

《亚洲再生业》第 100 期有感而发 《亚洲再生业》杂志中文编辑 孙玉芝

2004 年 8 月《亚洲再生业》创刊,

到 2012 年 8 月《亚洲再生业》发表第

100 期,在这 8 年的运营中,我们经历

了喜悦,也经受了磨难,但是“坚守”

使这个团队越做越优秀。使《亚洲再生业》

在耗材行业中发挥着桥梁作用,也得到

了客户的认可。

1. 传递世界耗材行业信息

《 亚 洲 再 生 业》 作 为 中 英 杂 志 刊

物,我们有许多北美、东南亚的客户,

如 SCC 常年在《亚洲再生业》发表他们

的新品,以及再生耗材方面的技术,不

仅推广了他们的技术,同时,对于行业

的提高起到了推动的作用。当再生耗材

企业在国外有被指控侵权行为,造成行

业发展困惑之时,SCC 史蒂文 威顿首先

提出:“唯一使再生行业存在的合法理

由是真正的再制造,这是世界著名的“有

权维修”理论。你有权维修再利用的合

法原装空成像卡盒,而没权去复制成像

卡盒,侵犯 OEM 的专利。”在《亚洲再

生业》杂志中,多次发表了这位在影像

行业有 38 年丰富经验的专家的建议,为

再生耗材行业的企业提供了及时的指导。

作为双语杂志,更多是交换中英的

信息。每期我们有翻译稿件,提供大家

参考。如:《美国使用再生墨粉政府和

教育机构节约数百万元》;利盟加入澳

大利亚和新西兰回收计划等等,为中国

的耗材企业提供有价信息。

2. 得到优秀客户的认可

在 8 年的运行中,由于我们的努力,

搭建的交流平台,为客户提供方便寻求

商机。如北京莱盛高新技术有限公司、

苏州恒久光电科技

股份有限公司、北

京中恒复印材料有

限公司、夏门黑木

科技有限公司、珠

海艾派克微电子有

限公司、佛山艾申

特科技有限公司等

多年的大力支持,

使《亚洲再生业》

杂志在行业中有着

重要作用,这些公

司在行业中起着标

杆作用,也领跑着

耗材行业的发展。

3. 每年一期《中国

办公耗材实用技术

精选》

在《亚洲再生

业》的基础上,每

年年底出一本《中

国办公耗材实用技术精选》,它是集成《亚

洲再生业》的精品,在中国市场上推广。

从 2008 年举办,已做 5 期,在客户中反

响较好。北京莱盛高新技术有限公司总

经理石磊说:“衷心感谢肩负行业媒体

责任的《中国办公耗材实用技术精选》,

搭建了一个能够使同行间分享创新技术

和相互交流的重要平台。莱盛愿与大家

携手,共同构建和谐、健康的耗材行业

发展环境,与行业同成长。”北京奔图

科技有限公司总经理刘洪认为,《中国

办公耗材实用技术精选》技术论坛有一

定的深度,做得不错,有意义。中国文

化办公设备制造行业协会耗材与配件专

业委员会秘书长冷欣新认为,在行业内

这样用心去办《中国办公耗材实用技术

精选》是值得学习,为推动行业的有序

发展起着促进作用。

4. 还要努力做得更好

我们虽然做了许多的事情,也得到

过表彰,但仍有许多待提高的地方。比

如:我们对客户的需求了解不够深入,

对于他们的真正的发展提不出有价的方

案,使他们对于做广告信心不足。我们

的发行量还要进一步的扩大,使更多的

客户得到我们的杂志,得到有价的信息,

提供给他们商机。我们是中英杂志,要

互翻信息数量仍显不够,使中国的客户

走向国际市场有迷盲的感觉,参加国际

耗材展还有犹豫。这些都是我们在进一

步发展要提高的地方。

The Opportunity for Supplies in Latin America

研究表明拉美耗材市场潜力巨大

2012 年 4 月,InfoTrends 公司在拉

丁美洲的特定区域,包括巴西,墨西哥

和阿根廷进行了一个基于网络的调查。

这个多客户的研究旨在为读者提供一个

了解消费者对于拉丁美洲耗材用品市场

的深入看法,包括消费者的偏好和再生

耗材活动。进行这项调查,InfoTrends

公司希望能够得到更好地了解这个市场

内的动态,其中包括广泛的假冒耗材和

用品的大量使用储值服务。参与这项调

查的受访者来自巴西,墨西哥和阿根廷

等地区的代表(各 200 家庭;各 300 办

公室),共有 600 家庭受访者和 900 办

公室的受访者参与到了此次调研当中。

在本次调查的过程中,InfoTrends

公司向家庭客户询问他们购买 OEM 和再

生耗材的情况。虽然在激光和喷墨耗材

方面几乎没有区别,但原装设备制造商

(OEM)与其他品牌的采购模式是完全

不同的。一半以上的家庭用户在相同的

办公用品商店购买他们的 OEM 产品和耗

材。然而,大约一半的受访者表示会使

用有独立生产来源供货商的再生耗材产

品。拉丁美洲用品市场包括众多的办公

用品商店和其他渠道,提供再制造和注

墨服务的企业,这表明该地区再生耗材

市场还是相当分散。

在具体的区域,InfoTrends 的研究

证实,巴西的家庭用户多通过他们品种

繁 多 的 网 点, 来 购

买 OEM 的 耗 材 供 应

产品,尤其是激光打

印机。其余的一半则

通过多种渠道购买这

些用品。而在墨西哥

和阿根廷,更多激光

打印机的家庭用户更

加频繁地去为他们供

应耗材的办公用品商

店。

和墨西哥和阿根

廷地区相比,巴西的

墨水和碳粉供应商看来分散的更为较广

泛。在巴西的受访者平均家庭收入也比

墨西哥人或阿根廷人较低。InfoTrends

推测的结果,比在其他两个国家,巴西

的家用打印机可能受到更广泛的使用。

虽然这项研究并没有设计用来衡量打印

机在家庭中的使用普及率,但这些结果

表明了家用打印机在巴西的的广泛渗透。

InfoTrends 的猜测,在拉丁美洲出

售的 OEM 品牌产品的显著市场销售份

额,实际上有些是假冒的,所以难以评

估受访者是否实际购买真正的 OEM 产

品。当受访者被问及为什么他们从一个

特定的地方购买物资,价格是最常见的

选择的原因。虽然价格是在所有地区的

受访者最重要的因素,巴西人,尤其是

可能基于价格来购买

用品的。

商 业 受 访 者 有 被

问及类似的问题。对于

替代品牌的耗材,企业

用户的选择也是使用

独立供应商的渠道为

重要的部分,但是这个

选项不象家庭用户是

由一半的基地选择。正

如所预料的,几乎所有

的企业调研结果显示企业对企业(即 B

to B)为主要的用途。也有许多企业表示,

会在零售商店获得 OEM 和再生耗材的供

应。对于家庭和商业用途的受访者一样,

互联网耗材用品的采购几率,似乎是非

常低的。

公司规模对耗材物资采购行为的影

响最为明显。规模较小的企业更容易从

零售商店购买他们的耗材产品,而大型

企业通常依赖 B2B 的贸易商和设备制造

商。无论是墨水还是硒鼓,均是一样的。

虽然家庭的受访者表现出不同的采

购模式,按其居住国的经济基础,这一

趋势并未影响到商业用户的受访者。无

论在哪个国家,商业用户受访者普遍显

示会在同一个地方购买他们的办公耗材。

2012 年 8 月总第 100 期

目前 , 随着计算机网络技术的发展与

广泛应用 , 计算机技术和网络通信技术正

以惊人的速度进入人类社会的各个角落 ,

已深深地影响了人们的生活方式、学习

方式和工作方式 , 人类社会已进入了网络

时代。网络打印功能已经为越来越多的

用户所关注和接受。本文通过分析现有

网络打印产品与行业的发展动态 , 对于其

细分市场进行了研究。在此基础上 , 得出

了网络打印设备行业的发展现状和趋势。

一、前言

随着网络的普及 , 在商务办公中可以

随处可见 , 现代的网络打印不是传统意义

上的局域打印 , 而是基于 internet 的网络

打印 , 打印机已不再是一个外设 , 而作为

网络上的一个接点存在 , 是一种高端的网

络打印 , 网络打印机通过 eio 插槽直接连

接网络适配卡 , 能够以网络的速度实现高

速打印输出。二十一世纪是办公与生活

即将实现全面网络化的时代 , 在这一趋势

下 , 网络打印正受到用户的日益重视。

二、打印机行业现状综述

打印机是重要的计算机外设产品 ,

其产量约占计算机外设的 20%。中国

已成为世界打印机产品的重要生产国。

2008 年 1-12 月 , 全国打印机累计产量

为 42,346,909.00 部 , 比 上 年 同 期 增 长

了 3.46%。1 月份的打印机产量最高 , 为

4,136,214.75 部 ; 其次是 12 月份 , 单月

打印机产量为 4,020,633.00 部 , 比上年

同 期 降 低 了 4.13%。2009 年 1-12 月 ,

全国打印机累计产量为 43,339,847.00

部 , 比上年同期增长了 0.58%。10 月份

的打印机产量最高 , 为 5,400,681.00 部 ,

比上年同期增长了 58.74%; 其次是 9 月

份 , 单月打印机产量为 4,275,569.00 部 ,

比上年同期增长了 11.28%。

除了技术上的不断进步外 , 近期的打

印市场有个重要趋势值得注意 , 这就是由

于中小企业的异军突起 ( 目前国内中小企

业总数已经超过 4 千万家 , 而这一数字

将以每年 15% 左右的数量递增 , 在 2012

年将增长到 5 千万 ), 使之日益成为打印

机购买的主力军。随着中小企业商务办

公基础的新变化 , 以及计算机运算速度的

提高 , 办公用户的打印业务总量不断上

升 , 对于效率要求也在不断提高 , 因此选

购打印机的标准也出现了前所未有的新

变化 , 这其中就包括对于打印机网络扩展

能力的要求 , 这就促使相关厂商以销售需

求和行业趋势为导向 , 不断推动行业的进

步和市场的快速发展 , 在为消费者提供更

为优质的产品的同时 , 也为行业的未来做

出贡献。

三、网络打印设备的定义

所谓网络打印 , 是指通过打印服务器

将打印机作为独立的设备接入局域网或

者因特网 , 从而使打印机摆脱一直以来作

为电脑外设的附属地位 , 使之成为网络中

的独立成员 , 成为一个可与其并驾齐驱的

网络节点和信息管理与输出终端 , 其他成

员可以直接访问使用该打印机。

网络打印的两个核心部件是管理软

件与打印服务器 , 网络打印管理软件可提

供卓越的管理性 , 极大地减少了管理人员

用于处理网络中打印相关问题的时间 , 直

接降低了企业网络的管理成本 , 用户可

以远程浏览到打印机各种信息 , 打印机设

置 , 硒鼓使用情况 , 各个纸盒纸张状况等 ,

如果打印设备耗材用尽 , 用户可以在网上

进行耗材的定购 , 而且更可以通过网络外

设管理软件远程控制打印机。用户可以

通过因特网直接进行打印设备的网上安

装 , 如果打印设备处于不正常工作状态或

出现故障 , 打印设备会自动报警 , 而用户

就可以通过网络直接进行诊断打印设备

故障原因 , 以及从网络上直接诊断打印设

备故障 , 然而这仅仅是网络打印管理才能

的一部分。

四、网络打印设备行业的现状、特点和

发展前景分析

(1) 网络打印设备行业总体状况

这些年中国的网络打印应用环境正

处在不断成熟的过程之中。在最初的阶

段 , 网络打印对大多数用户而言还属于新

鲜事物 , 加上大多数厂商的推广宣传力度

并不大 , 使这个产品还是鲜为人知 , 因此

网络打印功能 , 尤其是具备此功能的网络

打印机的价格始终给人以高不可攀之感。

从 2004 年开始 , 中国的应用环境趋于成

熟 , 用户的成熟度以及厂商不断推出的应

用和解决方案令网络打印迅速发展。首

先 , 金融、电信、政府等行业一向是网络

打印普及率升高的空间 , 进入 2006 年 ,

金融行业的强大 , 电信的分家 , 政府政务

的电子化 , 这一连串的变化给网络打印带

来更多的发展空间。2009 年 , 信息产业

化的全面规范升级 , 在信息安全等诸多方

面的需求压力下 , 共享打印被全面淘汰 ,

网络打印已成为标准。其次 , 网络在高端

的行业用户中已经得到较好的普及。最

后 , 技术的成熟和市场空间的不断扩大促

使网络打印的价格门槛不断降低 , 使之能

够慢慢渗透到中小型企业中。

按照网络打印设备存在的不同形态 ,

此行业主要分为以下三个领域 :

主流激光与喷墨网络打印机领域

微型针式与热敏打印机领域

外置式打印服务器领域

下面就针对这三个领域的现状、特

点以及发展前景分别进行分析研究。

(2) 主流激光与喷墨网络打印机领域

之特点与发展前景

在 2009 年的第四季度 , 激光与喷墨

打印机分别以 32% 和 20.2% 的市场占

有率占据着市场主流的地位。在这一

2012 年 8 月总第 100 期

www.rechargeasia.com

领域起主导作用的厂商 , 主要是爱普生、

惠普和佳能等国际打印机巨头。惠普在

1991 年推出了首款网络打印服务器 , 至

此成为网络打印模式的始创者。目前各

大打印机厂商均有网络打印机产品 , 主要

以高端商用彩色 / 黑白激光打印机为主 ,

近期逐渐成为市场热点的集成了打印、

扫描和传真等功能的激光 / 喷墨多功能打

印外设也基本上都具有网络打印功能。

由于是以高端商业用户为主 , 因此此

领域网络打印特别强调性能 ( 打印速度和

打印质量 )、可靠性以及可管理的能力 ,

因此内置的网络打印服务器与打印机之

间要求有高度的集成。由于这部分市场

具有的规模价值 , 以及打印机厂商在自身

打印机产品上具备的无可比拟的技术优

势和技术壁垒 , 因此 , 此领域仍将为国际

打印机厂商垄断。

(2) 微型打印机领域之特点与发展前

2009-2011 年期间中国微型打印机

整机市场销售量保持平稳增长态势 , 未来

三年中国微型打印机市场复合增长率将

超过 20%, 预计 2009 年微型打印机市场

销售量将达到 71.27 万台 , 其同比增长率

将达到 25.4%, 预计 2010 年微型打印机

市场销售量将达到 90.21 万台 , 其同比增

长率将达到 26.6%,2011 年微型打印机市

场销售量将达到 116.26 万台 , 其同比增

长率将达到 28.9%。未来几年中国打印

机市场细分趋势进一步彰显 , 客户需求进

一步个性化 , 随着人们生活需求的不断提

高和市场细分的加速 , 打印机小型化成为

发展趋势 , 行业用户对于微型打印机的需

求不断增长。与大型针式打印机相比 , 虽

然微型打印机的利润也在下降 , 但下降的

幅度不大 , 因为它的专业性以及必须与解

决方案一起销售的特殊性 , 决定了它的利

润要好于大型针式打印机 , 甚至远远超过

激光打印机和喷墨打印机市场 , 因此微型

打印机对大型针式打印机替代效应明显 ,

打印机产品更新换代速度加快。

在这一领域 , 由于目前整体的市场规

模仍然有限 , 而且实施环境比之办公环境

要远为复杂的多 , 因此 , 微型打印机厂家

完全依靠自身的力量很难使产品实现有

效的成本控制 , 并达到客户满意的可靠性

指标的目标 , 也很难向客户提供专业水平

的网络技术服务 , 因此 , 会有打印机厂家

与专业的网络打印技术供应商合作 , 共同

推出具备专业网络打印功能的微型打印

机以及专为微型打印机配备的专业网络

打印服务器。

(3) 外置网络打印服务器之行业特点

与发展前景

外置式的打印服务器可以方便地使

目标打印机轻松过渡到网络打印应用阶

段 , 因此使中低端用户的普通打印机实现

真正意义上的联网打印作业成为可能。

目前外置式网络打印服务器市场 , 开拓成

效良好。在这一领域 , 一方面是惠普、爱

普生、利盟等公司 , 凭借自己在网络打印

市场多年的经验 , 将内置打印服务器的

优异技术移植到外置打印服务器上 , 另一

方面 , 是理想固网、d-link、edimax 等

专业打印服务器厂商 , 经过多年的市场

培育 , 已经稳固占据了外置式打印服务

器的市场主流地位。这些厂商多具有深

厚的网络通讯技术功底 , 因此 , 可以保

证外置式打印服务器与最新网络技术之

间的同步发展。以理想固网为例 , 即有

具备 10m 网络接口的低端产品 , 也有具

备 100m 和无线网络接口 , 可以连接并口

和 usb 接口打印设备的打印服务器 , 其

1008mfp 和 2008mfp 更是通过采用先进

的网络 usb 总线技术 , 具备兼容所有 usb

接口的多功能打印机的能力 , 实现了很高

的专业化水平。

在这一领域 , 网络打印服务器主要面

向不具备网络打印功能的中低端打印机、

特定行业的特种打印设备 , 以及数量众多

的存量打印机 , 首先 , 是这部分用户对于

价格的高度敏感性使得设备厂商必须在

成本控制上有极强的功力 , 其次 , 是面对

为数众多的打印机品牌、型号和打印协

议 , 外置式打印服务器必须有良好的兼容

性 , 再次 , 是面对复杂的应用环境 , 厂商

必须具备专业级别的技术服务能力。

在这些方面 , 无疑专业的打印服务设

备厂商占据着优势。因此 , 这一市场将逐

渐由专业的打印服务器厂商主导。

五、结论

在网络打印技术不断的改进与完善

下 , 它已经可以满足用户日益增加的需

求 , 能够帮助用户提高打印速度和质量、

提供个性化的打印满足以及降低整体拥

有成本方面的一系列优势 , 也逐渐为用户

所认识 , 随着信息化的进一步推进 , 无论

是个人企业 , 还是行业用户对网络打印需

求的增加 , 用户选择网络打印势在必行。

网络是人类未来的生存空间 , 办公设备的

网络化也是行业的发展趋势 , 基于优势互

补的合作将是未来的方向。

North America Offset Printing Market Share will be Down 60%

北美胶印市场份额将降至 60%

澳大利亚著名的塑料卡片印刷公司印刷电子商店 (Printingestore) 近日在其网站上公布的数据显示,2012 年,传统胶印在北

美印刷业中的市场份额将下降到 60%,而可变数据印刷的市场份额将获得大幅度增长。预计到 2015 年,传统胶印的市场份额将

进一步降至 45% 左右。

对印刷企业而言,数字印刷将成为最具潜力的一个发展方向,而在诸多数字印刷技术中,喷墨技术将成为主流。当然,在未

来的一段时间内,数字印刷还很难成为印刷企业的核心业务,因为它的质量、产能、稳定性、印刷幅面等还需要进一步得到提升。

与此同时,胶印技术也将不断完善,为客户提供更多低成本、高质量的产品。但是传统胶印市场的份额仍将被数字印刷蚕食,

而数字印刷技术将对整个印刷业产生巨大的影响。

( 译自澳大利亚 printingestore 公司网站 )来源:中国新闻出版报

当今的喷墨设备正在与新媒体一起

影响并改变着印刷行业的面貌,打印头、

印刷引擎、油墨和工作流程的进步使喷

墨技术取得了长足的发展,而且在大量

的研发资金和人员的支持下,喷墨领域

将取得更快的增长。

生产型喷墨设备能承接大批量或中

等规模的印刷订单,以前它们都是在卷

筒纸上印刷的,但现在也有一些能在单

张纸上进行印刷。虽然在不同的喷墨设

备上获得的印刷质量主要取决于实际的

生产和应用情况,但喷墨印刷的质量的

确在近年来有了实质性的改善,并且几

乎可以与胶印相媲美。

从墨粉上转移

现在的很多喷墨印刷机都是从传统

的墨粉数字设备转变而来的。这些产品

的成本较低,而且随着其印刷质量和技

术水平的提升,它们的市场占有率也在

不断增加。生产型喷墨印刷与其他印刷

方式之间的质量差距在不断缩小,而且

几乎到了很难令人察觉的程度。此外,

还有相当一部分活件直接从胶印机转移

到了喷墨印刷设备上,而越过了中间的

碳粉数码印刷设备。

书刊市场已在变化,随着一些低成

本的可变信息被引入到个性化材料中,

例如报纸、直邮和杂志等,喷墨印刷将

获得更大的增长空间。此外,生产型喷

墨解决方案在包装市场上的增长势头也

非常强劲,因为它能以一种更快和更经

济的方式将产品或活动信息传递给目标

群体。

目前,有很多公司都在开发和销售

生产型喷墨解决方案,这些印刷机的速

度几乎与胶印机不相上下,其中比较有

代表性的机型有:

爱克发:Dotrix 喷墨印刷机,一个

能与 UV 固化油墨一起使用的压电按需喷

墨解决方案,主要用于包装领域。

富士胶片:采用了由 FujifilmDimatix

开发的打印头技术的数字喷墨印刷机。

惠普:T300/T200 卷筒纸印刷机,

采用了惠普的热喷墨技术并采用了可扩

展的结构设计。

InfoPrint:InfoPrint5000 压电按需喷

墨解决方案,主要被服务机构用于直邮、

账单广告等领域。

柯达:Prosper 系列喷墨印刷机,采

用了能安装在卷筒纸印刷机上并能与印

后加工设备联机使用的喷墨打印头技术。

柯达:Versamark 系列喷墨印刷机,

主要用于生产大批量的可变数据印刷品,

例如事务性文件和直邮等。

奥西:JetStream 系列压电按需喷墨

印刷机,采用水性油墨,主要用在事务

性文件和直邮领域。

RISO:ComColor 系列喷墨印刷机,

能在单张纸上进行印刷,生产能力居中。

网屏:TruepressJet520 压电按需

喷墨印刷机,采用水性油墨和模块化的

设计,适合用来生产杂志、报纸、书刊

和事务性文件。

数据管理是关键

生产型喷墨市场目前面对的最大挑

战就是数据管理。由于现代印刷设备的

生产速度已经有了很大的提升,所以需

要人们以更快的速度来处理相关数据,

以免影响印刷生产的效率。现在,很多

用墨粉设备进行可变数据印刷的企业都

表示自己的生产速度下降了 50% 甚至更

多,而为了避免这种情况,印刷企业就

必须具备更强大的数据处理能力。

与胶印相比,喷墨印刷技术更加简

单,业内很多公司都在加紧对这项技术

进行研发,以便在市场竞争中抢得先机。

而在不远的将来,我们将看到更多生产

型喷墨印刷机的出现。

喷墨技术加速发展推动业内众公司加紧研发

女 CEO 的用人管理之道——关于珠海奥贝卡乐数码有限公司钱总及其企业团队的采访

A Woman CEO's Choice of Talent-An Interview with Qian Ying, General Manager, Abcolor

亚再:钱总,您好!我们知道从开

始迄今,奥贝卡乐走过了一条不平凡的

发展之路,您能否为我们介绍一下珠海

奥贝卡乐数码有限公司大致的发展历史。

另外,我们也想知道钱总您个人是怎么

进入我们影像耗材行业的。

钱总:我是从江苏外贸 8 年外销员 ,

调往珠海支持珠海的外贸工作,之后经

过 10 多年 SUPERFAX 品牌油印机的国

内外市场经营为契机,逐步进入耗材行

业的。并逐步接触和进入到影像耗材的

相关领域。由于我一直负责其国内市场

的策划和组织,从而让我有机会和复印

机耗材行业的许多知名企业有了沟通和

关联,算是对再生耗材行业有所了解了。

后来油印机的市场不断萎缩,我们公司

也转向打印复印领域,我也正式进入再

生耗材这个行业。在经营油印机的同时 ,

也与国外一家知名碳粉生产企业有合作,

这样我也开始接触了耗材的出口业务,

这 30 年的进出口贸易和企业管理的经历

也为我在外贸和管理领域积累了丰富的

经验。

2007 年前后公司进行了重组,重新

确立了发展线路,正式跟当时国内几家

著名的耗材公司,像天津赢事达、广州

利高乐 , 珠海易得美等进行合作,开展打

印机、复印机的再生耗材生产和贸易业

务,也就是这样奥贝卡乐公司正式成立 ,

全权负责国外市场 . 由于种种原因 , 大概

在 2009 年的时候我开始独立运营管理奥

贝卡乐公司。

亚再:钱总,从您刚刚接手奥贝卡

乐的时候是怎样规划这个新生公司的团

队发展呢?

钱总:早在 2002 年,我就拟写了一

份非常详尽的商业计划。从筹建奥贝卡

乐开始 , 就希望建立一支完善成熟的企业

团队,希望从新人开始培养 , 希望这个团

队能够最终实现我的商业计划。其实现

在大家认识的奥

贝卡乐的一些老

员工,他们当初

很多也都是刚刚

毕业的大学生,

是在奥贝卡乐一

步 步 成 长 起 来

的。他们从各自

大学毕业后,到

这里来定向培训

成专业的耗材行

业外贸人才。这

样做有一个好处,可以使他们从一开始

就树立团队理念,能够不惧风险,将个

人发展与企业发展结合起来。

2007 年奥贝卡乐公司正式成立。经

过 2008-2009 年 初 期 的 摸 索 期,2009

年到现可以说都是在我们团队培训期,

也是成长期。

亚再:相信您也了解,对于我们再

生耗材行业来说,女性的领导者并不多

见,而奥贝卡乐几年来却在您的领导下

蒸蒸日上,我们相信您走的道路并不轻

松?

钱总:在这份商业计划中我列举了

我可能面对的主要困难:1、新公司股东

珠海奥贝卡乐数码有限公司是中国影像耗材行业专注于复印机和打印机耗材配

件生产及贸易的知名企业之一,他们不但致力于为全球客户提供高品质的耗材产品

和服务,更努力推进中国耗材行业和国外耗材市场的接轨和合作。作为俄罗斯耗材

行业的盛世之一,2012 年的俄罗斯 BUSINESS-INFORM 展会,奥贝卡乐就是其

重要的中方组织者。

而更令人瞩目的是,在一直以来由于偏重技术性和生产性而导致男性领导者居

多的中国影像耗材行业,珠海奥贝卡乐数码有限公司的总经理钱瑛女士,作为为数

不多的女性领导者,以其独特而又出色的管理理念,缔造出了奥贝卡乐公司一支业

务熟练、成员稳固、富有创新又努力向上的精瑛团队。而这个团队也在中国的影像

耗材行业创造出一个又一个令人赞叹的成就。

带着对钱瑛女士(以下简称“钱总”)以及其领导的企业团队的赞佩和好奇,《亚洲再生业》杂志(以下简称“亚再”)有幸采访了他们,

希望能从他们的话语当中让您感受到这位女 CEO 独具魅力的管理育人之道。

2012 年 8 月总第 100 期

较多,每个股东目标是不一致的,很难

协调统一。由于目标不同,对预期回报

的期待也就不同;2、团队。基本上是 80

后 90 后,我和他们的代沟和价值观差异

时客观存在的,所受的教育、经历区别

也很大;3、行业本身发展的特殊性。再

生兼容耗材不是耗材行业的主流,原装

厂家才是行业发展的主导者,而国家对

我们行业的保护也比较薄弱。再生兼容

耗材可以说在夹缝中生存。这些都是是

很大的挑战。

既然这份商业计划已经理清了发展

前途的问题和主要困难,那么接下来我

要做的就是有针对性的进行解决。首先,

我个人更加清楚的明白了我自己的位置

以及公司的发展方向,我认为我们是做

服务的,我的服务不单单服务给客户,

我觉得我可以服务给同行们。明白这些

后,我开始寻找团队成员,他们需要能

够对环境有清楚的认识,能把我的目标

贯彻成为团队里的目标的成员。

亚再:一个企业的发展离不开团队

的建设和人才的培养,我们注意到多年

来珠海奥贝卡乐数码有限公司并不像其

他耗材企业一样人员流动频繁,而是保

持了相对稳定和持续,我们想知道您是

怎样做到的?

钱总:首先,是目标管理 , 目标清晰

化 , 管理透明化 . 我们会在每年定个工作

目标,每年都是不一样的主题,这个主

题不是利益,而是团队整体的需求。第

一年我们称为目标年,让大家明确当年

的主要目标,有谁坚守并最终实现这个

目标的,我们就奖励他是今年的先进。

有一年是团队年,对于团队贡献最大的

就受到表彰。还有管理流程规范年,以

及后来的执行年等等。所以利益最大的

却不一定是先进。

要实现目标管理 , 很重要的就是管理

人性化,让员工感觉到公司已经不是我

的公司了,而是大家的公司,大家把这

当成自己的公司。在自己的岗位上,遇

到困难时能相互沟通探讨,犯错也是正

常的,每个人都会犯错,不会因为他们

的错误造成损失而惩罚他们。

亚再:通过您的一席话我能很清楚

的感受到您对您的团队不但非常的重视

和信赖,而且有着很高的期望和评价,

是吗?

钱总:其实他们每个人都是我的得

力助手。我希望奥贝卡乐是最好的团队,

希望每个人都是自己岗位的专家,当然

他们现在还年轻,专家不仅需要一定的

经验,还需要时间和阅历。他们在这个

过程中,还有很多要学,要养好个人和

工作的好习惯 , 他们还需要很多磨练。但

我是用这样的理念打造大家的,也希望

每个人都要有这样的愿望并为之努力

现在回头看,能够在艰难中把这些

80、90 后的孩子们带起来,还真的是很

不容易,与业务相比 , 我花费了更多的时

间和精力在培养这个团队。和他们同龄

的人相比,他们(奥贝卡乐团队)现在

可以相对成熟的世界观和专业敬业的态

度工作,真是蛮了不起的。

亚再:我们都知道奥贝卡乐公司也

是耗材行业俄罗斯展的中国区重要合作

伙伴,您为什么会选择参与俄罗斯?您

对俄罗斯市场及中国企业进入俄罗斯市

场是怎样看的?

钱总:进入俄罗斯市场是我商业计

划的一部分。我对全球市场有一个评估,

欧美市场已经饱和,拼杀的很厉害,也

相对完善,这两个市场不需要我的服务,

但是俄罗斯市场却有潜力。比如语言就

是很多企业进入俄罗斯市场的很大障碍,

而语言只是表面,根本上是文化状态的

冲突。与有些国家相比,

俄罗斯人更务实,自我

保护的意识也很强。他

们一直在与不同的恶

略环境斗争,内部非常

团结。他们有自我保护

的采购集团,会为了共

同的利益,忽略一些个

人利益。

作为我自己来讲,

我从事那么长时间的

外贸工作,我对外国文化比较了解。我

一开始就不是把自己的产品的价格降下

来跟别人拼价格,而是采取了跟当地的

企业合作,来打破他们的壁垒。而且我

个人认为我们中国的耗材产品要进去这

个市场,也应如此。以一个整体品牌的

体系共同进入,让他们对你中国的产品

认可,对你有信心了,你所介绍的朋友

他们也会相信。这也是我做俄罗斯展会

的初衷。

补充问题

亚再:请您企业团队中的一些成员

谈一下他们眼中的奥贝卡乐公司?他们

对奥贝卡乐有着怎样的感触?

顾泉 ( 物流部经理 ):

我是 10 年 5 月以做临时工的名义到

的公司,当时的我是一名大学还没毕业

的学生,刚到公司的第一天,觉得做的

活蛮累的,也不认识任何人,更不知道

哪个是老板,到了晚上一起包装的时候,

我看到全公司的办公室人员都下来帮忙,

其中还有一个年纪稍长的女人,我心里

想那应该就是老板了,确实经过证实那

就是老板,另我比较吃惊。一个老板跟

着一般员工在下班以后还在积极的一起

工作,真的是让我比较感动的,当时我

就感觉这个不是一般的团队,这个老板

更不是一般的老板,这个公司的发展潜

力是巨大的,后来由于老板的赏识,我

也进了这个具有巨大潜力的公司,加入

了这个不一般的团队,在后来的工作中,

我慢慢的体会到,这个公司不同于其它

的公司的有以下几个方面,第一就是

Page 80: RechargeAsia Magazine August 2012

CEO之路 / CEO ON THE GO

80 www.rechargeasia.com

2012 年 8 月总第 100 期

www.rechargeasia.com

老板从来没有把员工当成员工,而是当

成大家庭中的一员,公司就是一个大家

庭,是一个温暖的家,而不是一个让人

一看就觉得心烦,觉得累的地方,每一

位员工都是这大家庭中的一员,所以这

样的团队,这样的公司,这样的老板,

真的是难得的,我相信公司一定会越来

越大的!

Emily( 市场部经理 ):

捻指算来,我进公司已经有 5 年了,

可以说是经历了公司从无到有,从弱到

强的坚辛成长历程。我很幸运能和公司

共同在成长的道路上一起前行。还记得

以前钱总经常和我聊到选择员工的原则,

有没有经验不重要,因为工作经验不是

与生俱来的,每一个人都必须经历从无

到有的过程,经验和成绩只能代表过去,

她注重的是除工作经验以外的其他方面

的能力,注重的是员工的发展潜力,员

工的品德。当时进公司时我是一个没有

任何外贸经验的新人,我们公司后面进

来的同事们也几乎都是清一色的应届毕

业生。钱总非常尊重公司内每一个成员

的个性和特点,给员工在适合自己特长

的岗位上自由发展。在这样良好和温暖

的工作氛围下,我们也渐渐成长为在某

些场合可以独挡一面的人了,尽管有时

还是逊色,但也在一步步慢慢成长和进

步。钱总就像是一个大家长,把我们当

成自己的孩子一样看待,经常跟我们分

享她的工作

心得和工作

技 巧 , 分 享

她的生活经

验,教我们

做个乐于分

享的人。我

们也在她的

分享中,学

习得更多,

成 长 的 更

快!

另外,公司也非常注重人文关怀,

在我怀孕期间和生完宝宝的头一年,让

我在家办公,使我省去了上下班路途中

间的折腾,可以在工作之余兼顾照顾小

宝宝。

Zoe( 市场部主管 ):

奥贝卡乐就像一个大家庭,在这个

家庭中,同事之间就像是兄弟姐妹,大

家一起上班,下了班就一起吃饭一起玩,

虽然也有吵闹过,但还是很开心。

而老板就像是我们的母亲,她把我

们当成她的孩子,我们在她的培养和教

导下,一起随着公司成长,我们犯了错,

她狠下心来鞭策我们,我们做得好,她

也毫不吝啬地夸奖我们。在这个公司,

人人都是平等的,忙的时候,每个人都

得到车间帮忙,老板也不例外,所以更

能让我们感受到团结的力量,我们必须

团结,才能做得更好,人人都朝着同一

个目标努力,让你觉得你不是孤单一个

人在奋斗,有那么一班志同道合的人陪

着你一起努力、成长,即使辛苦,也觉

得值得。

Toby( 总经理助理 ):

加入奥贝卡乐这个团队已经是第四

个年头了,随着时间的推移,我也和这

个团队渐渐地成长起来。进来公司也是

应届毕业生,从初出茅庐到现在的我,

自己也看到了自己的成长。说实话,刚

进公司,由于自己的方向认识不够,半

年内也曾几度向钱总提出辞职,但在钱

总的引导下,认清自己的方向一直坚持

到现在。公司主要注重的是团队精神,

步调一致,公司里的同事也是一直这样

坚持下来的,方向一致,工作起来也得

心应手,相对比较轻松。不像其它公司,

奥贝卡乐的所有人都把公司当成一个大

家庭,而不是战场,有事大家商量着办。

钱总对于我们来说不光是一个老板,更

是一个工作上,生活上以及思想上的导

师,而奥贝卡乐就是一个教室,一个更

注重思想与实践的地方,而我们的任务

就是团结一致使这个教室变大,变强,

走得更宽更广。

蔡磊(财务部经理):

从 09 年接触奥贝卡乐公司这个年轻

的团队以来,可以感受到这个团队的活

泼向上的精神,这两三年以来,整个团

队在钱总的带领下,由当初青涩的全大

学毕业生班,渐渐地成长为成熟的有共

同目标的团队,大家在整个过程当中体

验到了艰辛与挫折,成功与喜悦,在不

断地积累沉淀后,相信我们的团队会越

来越好,越走越远。

李贞(采购):

在进入奥贝卡乐之前,我正在找工

作,当时觉得工作只是为了谋生而已。

在后来进入奥贝卡乐,受到了钱总和整

个团队的感染,变得喜欢工作而工作,

而不是为了攒钱而工作。

现在在公司我担任的是采购工作,

之前对采购没有什么经验,也是在钱总

和整个团队的帮助下,工作才得以上手。

在工作上遇到困难,大家都非常热心和

团结,都会一起探讨解决问题的方法。

虽然在平常工作中,钱总对我们很

严厉,但在工作之余,她也是我们的好

朋友,经常组织我们一起打球、到户外

活动等。

锐意进取的武汉宗祥显影材料有限公司

Wuhan Zhong Xian Imaging Supply Company Forges Ahead to Growth

武汉宗祥显影材料有限公司是家民

营企业,90 年代末成立于宜昌,专营墨

粉生产,后迁到武汉发展,经 10 多年的

努力拼搏,首创我国第一条墨粉全自动

生产线,成功地立足于墨粉行业,并取

得了很好的成绩。

2005 年武汉宗祥与上海化机厂共同

开发气流粉碎和分级设备,为墨粉的稳

定性提高了一个等级。同年,该设备又

进行了改进,研制了国内第一条墨粉全

自动生产线,使产品的品质得到了提高,

减轻了员工的劳动力,大大提高了效率,

产量也逐年得到了提升。

墨粉全自动生产线运行后:

1. 工作自动化程度提高了。从物料

混合、粉碎、分级到外添只需 3 人。气

源系统方面无需专人看管。所有设备的

运转一人即可掌控。空压机、干燥机和

气流粉碎分级系统,车间设备均安装了

PLC 自动控制,某台机器出现故障,后

续生产设备自动关机,生产主管可以及

时处理解决,避免了设备事故和产品质

量的发生。车间所有的水路、电路和气

路安装了传感器,有故障会显示报警,

从而使生产过程全部实现了自动化。

2. 产品的品质提高了,原来根据生

产实时取样测试报告进行调整工艺参数,

以达到产品的稳定,时效性、准确性都

不是很好。例如:生产过程中会出现冷

干机跳机,这种情况如果生产过程中没

有及时发现,生产出来的产品就完全不

合格。现在的设备通过电脑程序操作,

系统出现状况即时报警,设备自锁整个

生产线,完全避免了这种情况的发生,

从而保证了产品的品质。

3. 员工的劳动大大减轻了。以前生

产车间每条生产线需要 7 人看管,改用

自动化后,完全避免了人为因素造成的

产品质量的不稳定。从原来的工人搬运

物料操作到现在完全实现物料自动传输,

大大减少了人为搬运造成的车间物料飞

扬,减轻了工人的体力同时也改善了车

间工作环境。

4. 质量的提高,也收获了成功。武

汉宗祥的墨粉全自动生产线运行后,成

功地打开了国外市场,产品远销多个国

家,订单量年年稳步增长。为缓解供不

应求的销售局面,2008 年,公司斥资新

增 2 条生产线,目前 3 条生产线年产量

达 1200 吨,生产能力大大得到了提高。

宗祥产品主要供给使用三星,兄弟,

松下,京瓷,HP 系列激光打印机及柯尼

卡美能达,东芝,理光,夏普,京瓷,

佳能系列复印机等的客户,覆盖范围广

泛,实现了打印机墨粉的全部本土化生

产。

武汉宗祥显影材料有限公司成功的

开发了墨粉全自动生产线,源于:

敢于挑战

武汉宗祥显影材料有限公司总经理

黄万是位不甘寂寞勇于挑战的人。90 年

代中国的改革大潮席卷全中国,在国营

企业有稳定收入,条件也不错的黄万,

却一心想尝试着如何做个有为的年青人。

没有积蓄的他怀揣梦想,投身到市场经

济大潮中。

从有稳定收入到没有收入,他挑战

了自己的适应力。开始他为别人打工,

尝试着挑战自己的能力。从为别人打工

到后来自己独立成立公司,他进一步挑

战了自己。就在这一步步的挑战中他成

熟了,也摸索到了如何使公司成长的经

验。

锐意进取

黄万在大学期间是学习机械设计与

制造专业的,所以这方面的理论知识是

相当丰富的,这些理论知识在以后的企

业运营中起到了举足轻重的作用,对工

厂的一些硬件设施建设起了指导作用。

在开始建厂的几年当中黄万深切体会到:

企业快速的发展离不开技术的投入,所

以他投入了大量的时间去学习,投入了

更多的精力进行设备的创新改造。

在学习中他注重国外先进技术的吸

收,2003 年他赴德国学习墨粉的技术。

2004 年他又赴新加坡参与墨粉生产线的

全程安装与调试,2 年的认真学习使他很

快掌握了同行先进技术。

产品开发

武汉宗祥业绩的取得是源于领导注

重开发。武汉宗祥与大专院校、科研机

构都有合作关系,在科技人员的指导下,

对复印和打印粉的特性进行试验,对新

材料使用进行了研究。公司原来有一款

高速复印机在热定影方面,做了玻璃化

温度和软化点的测试,通过数据的分析,

给原料厂家提出技术方面的改进,使产

品品质从源头得到提升。在原料稳定大

前提下,保证了产品的稳定性。这些的

改进,都是宗祥不断摸索吸取教训并认

真总结所取得的宝贵经验。

服务客户

武汉宗祥以“科学打造一流碳粉,

竭力满足客户需求”为企业奋斗目标,

服务于客户。2009 年公司开通了售后服

务热线,及时为客户提供货物的单号,

跟踪信息。根据客户的要求,提供各种

型号和规格的产品包装,为每个客户建

立了诚信档案,做到为客户的需求保驾

护航。

武汉宗祥显影材料有限公司成长的

经历,也是我国墨粉业国产化、本土化

实践的过程。他们在努力拼搏的过程中

深深体会到,只有脚踏实地,锐意进取,

才能使事业得到成功。

近期,纪念《政府采购法》颁布十

周年暨系列宣传活动启动仪式在京举行,

《政府采购法》颁布十年来,作为公共

财政管理的一项重要制度安排,不仅节

约了大量财政资金,而且对于创造公平

竞争的市场环境发挥了重要的作用。尤

其是支持国产、扶持中小企业发展等政

策的逐步完善,不仅提供了一个更加公

平、开放的市场竞争环境,还为民族品

牌的发展起到巨大的推动作用。

“政府采购是企业成长的助推器,

格之格近年来在政采市场的快速发展,

得益于政策的放开,和市场的公平竞争

环境,打印耗材单独分包采购实施 2 年

多来,格之格不仅连续两年以总分第一

的成绩中标央采,更在实际的供货量方

面位列前三甲,仅次于惠普和佳能,而

从 2012 年的政府采购市场看,到目前为

止,格之格已中标天津、江苏、浙江、四川、

安徽等近 20 个省市,成为中标省份最多

的民族品牌耗材。”珠海格之格数码科

技有限公司总经理助理任菁倩说到。

推动成长,格之格借船出海

从 1998 年的 31 亿元到 2011 年的

超万亿元,全国政府采购规模实现了惊

人的增长速度,而如此庞大的市场规模,

又为民族品牌的发展提供了巨大的市场

空间。“政府采购 10 年来,采购的范围

和规模不断扩大,优先采购本国产品的

政策逐步建立,丰富了财政调控方式,

强制采购节能产品制度已基本建立。”

财政部党组成员、副部长王保安说到,

优先采购本国产品,对民族品牌耗材来

说,又面临一次巨大的发展机遇。

作为民族品牌耗材的领军企业,格

之格近年来的快速增长受益于政府采购

市场的拓展,正如珠海格之格数码科技

有限公司总经理助理任菁倩所言:“早

在 2008 年,格之格就把政府采购市场作

为重要的战略市场之一,为了更好地服

务政府采购市场,格之格成立了专门的

政府采购部门,并组建了政采服务团队,

围绕相关政府采购政策、招投标等,进

行专门的分析和跟踪服务,了解政府用

户的需求,及时提供最佳打印解决方案,

并不断完善售后服务体系,而随着政府

采购优先采购本国产品等政策的实施,

格之格未来将面临更大的发展机遇。”

对格之格而言,其打印耗材产品进入政

府采购市场,得益之处并不仅仅在于销

售业绩,更为重

要的是,政府采

购犹如一块“金

字招牌”,能更

好的向消费者展

示自身的品牌、

实 力 以 及 信 誉

度。“中标央采,

广泛的服务于各

个省市的政府采

购市场,对格之

格的产品品质、

品牌以及客户的信誉度,都是一个极大

的认可,这种示范效应也更好的传导到

其他市场,如金融、教育、医疗、大型

企事业单位等,这些大型用户,往往把

是否中标央采、服务政府采购市场,作

为衡量企业实力的重要指标。”任菁倩

进一步说到。

再创辉煌,格之格杨帆远航

今年 2 月份,在第七届全国政府采

购集采年会上,格之格荣获“2011 年度

政府采购通用环保耗材受欢迎品牌”,

这是对过去一年,格之格开拓政府采购

市场,服务政府采购用户的最大褒奖,

而今年,格之格不但持续加大对政府采

购市场的拓展力度,还通过持续打造专

业团队及提高服务能力,横向扩展产品

线,如率先推出的以保障健康打印为核

心的格之格商用专业版产品,不断的满

足政府用户的打印需求。

“虽然耗材在政府采购的众多项目

中,是个不起眼的小产品,但作为办公

打印的耗材产品,却是不断消耗、不断

补充的大户,截止到目前,整个品牌耗

材产品所占的打印耗材采购规模还比较

小,未来还有巨大的市场潜力和空间。”

任菁倩说到,而随着政府采购规则越来

越规范,挑战的不仅仅是企业的品牌知

名度、产品质量、研发水平,更多的是

要求企业不断开发适合市场和客户需求、

符合政府采购规则的产品,如格之格商

用专业版产品,就是在敏锐的把握健康

打印成为未来打印趋势下,率先推出的

创新型产品,该产品把保障用户健康打

印作为第一核心要素,其全线产品均符

合欧盟 RoHS 指令认证,严格控制铅、汞、

镉、六价铬、多溴联苯及多溴二苯醚等

有毒有害物质,确保使用人员的健康。

十年来,我国政府采购取得了令人

瞩目的成绩,政府广开大门,支持企业

的发展,而企业又通过政府采购这个通

Print Rite Smart Jump VP-a Single Color Print from Monochrome Printer

天威捷跃有奇技—— 黑白打印机出“单彩”

黑白打印机打出单种彩色?在耗材技术不断突破的今天,变成现实:2012

年 7 月,全球最大通用耗材制造商天威(Print-rite)宣布,应用全球首创的显

影打印系统输出技术 Smart Jump VP, 天威捷跃硒鼓系列,可以在惠普、佳能品

牌的黑白打印机上打出单种彩色,目前已经研发成功的色彩有红色、蓝色、咖

啡色,此项突破具有广泛的应用前景和较高的市场价值。

据悉,激光打印机有两种主流显影模式:跳跃式显影和接触式显影,分别

应用磁性碳粉和非磁性碳粉。前者以惠普、佳能为代表,后者以利盟、三星、

兄弟为代表。已占据打印机市场 60% 以上市场份额的惠普、佳能两大品牌的原

装耗材,因磁性碳粉的原材料自身带有颜色,很难与颜料配合成纯色。天威捷

跃(Jumpr+)硒鼓的单彩系列产品,运用全球首创的 Smart Jump VP 技术,

使得原本应用于接触式显影打印机的非磁性碳粉应用在跳跃式显影打印机上,

借助非磁性碳粉的原料优势研发合成彩色碳粉,实现了在惠普 / 佳能黑白打印

机上的彩色单色输出。

彩色单色输出,不仅增加视觉美感,还具有广泛的应用性,在海外已成潮

流。个性化的酒店或餐厅,常在不同介质上用彩色字体输出菜谱或服务内容,

来引起顾客对菜品、服务的兴趣和好感;超市里用彩色单色标签标注商品价钱,

更加醒目;海外五星级酒店,更将彩色单色字体列入 VI 系统,使其成为面向客

户的独特形象。近年来,随着中国经济文化的迅速发展,彩色单色输出也越来

越多见诸于中国服务业。彩色单色输出,已不单纯是视觉表现,更是一种理念

的表达,如绿色表示环保,红色表示热情,蓝色表示纯洁等。

面对彩色单色输出的趋势,那些想输出彩色单色却苦于没有彩色打印机的

客户犯了难。难道一定要更换成彩色打印机及彩色打印耗材产品才可以吗?某

些中小型企业选择购买黑白打印机的初衷是为节省成本,现在面对流行单色趋

势及企业偶然有之的彩色单色打印需求,如何应对?天威捷跃(Jumpr+)硒鼓

系列产品的这一突破,为客户释放了更换彩色打印机的成本压力,且打印质量

拥有比同等定位的彩色打印机更好的色密度,单页打印成本更是同类彩色打印

机单页打印成本的 1/10,甚至更低,打印速度也比同类彩色打印机更快。

目前,只有天威捷跃(Jumpr+)成像卡盒系列,能够在惠普 / 佳能品牌黑

白打印机上实现彩色单色输出。天威市场销售人员预测,捷跃(Jumpr+)硒鼓

这一系列新品的上市,有望在 4 月首批产品售罄后再掀热卖“风暴”。

CET 推出美能达系列兼容成像卡盒

近 期,CET 推 出 适 用 于 MINOLTA

Bizhub C200/200E/C203/C253/C353 兼 容

粉盒,完美的兼容功能和超出 OEM 的高打

对于绝大多数人来说,企业社会责

任是一个陌生的概念。然而,在富士施

乐员工的眼中,这却是他们倾注心血、

全力推进的一件大事。2006 年 12 月,

富士施乐将环保的目光投向中国,投资

6.5 亿日元成立整合资源循环系统的全资

子公司富士施乐爱科制造(苏州)有限

公司,主要以废旧打印机、一体机、耗

材的回收再利用为主要生产目的,而今

记者有幸参观了这家整合资源循环的工

厂。下面就跟随记者一探废弃办公设备

是如何变废为宝的吧。

首先,富士施乐从全国各地的企业

和用户手中回收废旧打印机、一体机、

复合机,然后集中运送到富士施乐爱科

制造(苏州)有限公司的资源回收工厂

中,由经过专业培训的工人用地磅称重,

测量一卡车的总重量,然后再卸下单台

设备逐一测重,再按照不同的种类分拣,

最终分解成 70 多种不同的类型。

所回收的东西,会分解到最小单位,

大概有 70 种,铜、铁、铝、玻璃、塑料

(10190,45.00,0.44%)、纸、线路板等,

最终的资源循环是由富士施乐的合作企

业进行最终资源化处理。富士施乐每年

都会与合作企业签署协议,确认他们是

否按照富士施乐所要求的程序进行最终

处理,每年双方都会就体系的执行情况

进行确认。

记者在现场看到,机器本身和硒鼓

粉仓等分开放置,工人首先会将用完的

硒鼓以彩色和黑色分开,并拆掉纸盒将

纸盒归类整理。随后碳粉盒和成像感光

鼓等再细细分开。工厂每位工人都佩戴

口罩,并且为了保障工人的身体健康安

全,专门负责清理碳粉的工人佩戴的是

高级防毒面具。

无 论 是 塑 料、 金 属 还 是 橡 胶

(24525,-80.00,-0.33%) 都 是 可 以 再 利

用的。但有一样东西你可能比较好奇:

从打印机、一体机、复合机及硒鼓里回

收的碳粉是怎么处理的呢?如果进入土

地或水里,就会造成极大污染。最终记

者在工厂里找到了答案。原来工厂定期

会将碳粉送到水泥厂,这不愧是一种很

好的再利用方式。

据介绍,富士施乐在中国的资源、

原材料的利用率,如塑料、铜、铝,都

已经超过了 90%,剩下的 9.8% 是作为

能源得到再利用,最终的资源再生利用

比重是 99.8%。在此过程中,富士施乐

建立了很好的溯源追随体系和相应的数

据库。富士施乐有一个单据,每次产品

的处理都要进行比对,其重量是不是相

符,而且这些数据也会输入到公司的数

据库中,这样信息可以被追溯。

目前,工厂每年处理1万台中型设备,

处理 50 万个硒鼓墨盒。但富士施乐在回

收废弃产品的过程中也面临挑战。富士

施乐中国总裁徐正刚表示,中国地域辽

阔,运输难度和成本较高,没有能够覆

盖全国的物流企业,不同的客户对于废

旧设备的处理方式也有所差异,虽然富

士施乐的回收比例每年都在提高,但还

是无法将所有废弃设备全部实现资源循

环。即便如此,富士施乐中国销售公司

仍不遗余力地进行废弃设备和耗材的回

收工作。

富士施乐在中国确实是在尽企业应

尽的社会责任,努力通过合理的流程和

措施回收和利用资源。从 2008 年至今,

这家工厂仍然没有盈利,大部分费用还

需富士施乐中国的销售公司给予支持。

正如徐正刚所说:“单从回收和资源处

理来看,富士施乐苏州工厂的经济效益

并不乐观,但成立这家公司并不以通过

回收获得收益,作为一家企业,富士施

乐要履行企业的社会责任,除了生产和

销售之外,还包括对所生产产品的回收

利用,这是一家企业业务过程中所必须

承担的成本。”

富士施乐 99.8% 的打印机再生利用率是如何实现的

在 Wifi 和云技术横行的时代,我们

的生活和工作在理念上发生了不可思议

的变化,一切似乎都变得简单易行。在

办公打印领域,它们带来的新技术挑战

正在引起打印机市场的一场风云变化。

另外,我国经济的高速增长使得企业内

部票据、文件等需打印的资料日益增多,

再加上企业环保、低能高效等理念的深

入,企业的打印需求发生了很大变化。

这些对打印机厂商来说既是挑战更是机

遇,各大打印机厂商正在积极地攻城略

地,一些新的打印技术、打印理念和打

印解决方案应时而生。

我们都知道,不同行业的打印机客

户有着不同的打印需求,即使是同行业

的企业也有着千变万化的细化打印要求。

那么,究竟什么样的文印方式可以满足

如此复杂的企业需求呢?世界知名文印

设备制造商利盟国际有限公司中国区产

品及市场总监程德泳先生在接受记者采

访时,就现下的打印需求和新的打印技

术为我们解读了我国办公打印领域发展

的新趋势。

低成本、安全、功能性、易用成为

打印机采购关注要点

随着企业经济活动的增多,对于文

印设备的采购需求量水涨船高。不同的

企业在进行文印设备采购时有着不同的

关注点,但从总体来看,能够影响打印

机采购的因素主要有低打印成本、安全

性、功能性和易用性等。

中小型企业一直很重视对打印成本

的控制,然而,近年来大型企业也逐渐

提高对打印成本的关注。总体上而言,

绝大多数用户对“成本”的认知还只是

停留在了“硬件设备价格”和“后期打

印成本”这两方面,却忽略了整体的打

印设备部署及设备管理对于总体成本的

巨大影响。

银行等大型企业以及政府机构对于

打印的安全性有着特殊要求,因为文档

的打印环节存在着极大的泄密风险。很

多企业采用给每个涉及到机密打印的人

单独配一台打印机的方法来解决安全问

题,导致办公室里的打印机越来越多,

大大增加了后期的使用和管理成本,所

以企业迫切的需要更加有效的方案来解

决打印安全的问题。

打印需求错综复杂 解决方案是利器

对于大型企业来说,打印规模庞大,

经常会出现打印设备品牌众多,功能参

差不齐,管理不便等问题。对于此类用

户,最好的办法是将整体打印服务外包

给专业的打印服务厂商。利盟被 IDC 和

Gartner 都定位为全球管理打印服务的领

先者,为客户定制专业的打印解决方案。

利盟通过基础设施优化、前瞻性的管理、

业务流程持续优化等措施帮助用户有效

地管理打印设备和打印作业。对于不希

望将打印服务外包的企业,利盟公司可

以提供专业的解决方案帮助用户对企业

局域网中的打印设备状态及印量实现有

效管理。

另外,大多数企业将文印设备集中

安置在办公区的一处,经常会出现反复

打印或者已打印文件错领甚至丢失的现

象,利盟打印管理解决方案可以有效解

决此类问题。方案包含了“打印释放”

以及“文件计数”两大功能。传统的网

络打印设备都是通过用户发送打印命令

把打印作业“推送”到一台指定的打印

机上,而“打印释放”基于“云”技术,

用户从电脑、手机、PAD 上发送打印命

令后,可以从企业云中的任何一台网络

打印设备上通过刷卡、输入密码等方式

实现打印作业,也就是将打印作业“拽

出来”,避免忘领、丢失、误领的情况

发生。“文件计数”功能可以对单个设备、

用户、部门的打印作业进行非常细致的

统计和分析,并可按照用户的自定义生

成管理报告,例如有多少文件是双面复

印的,都可进行精确的统计分析。

对于中小企业,利盟为其量身定制

了一些解决方案使该类用户可以用较少

成本获得企业级的硬件性能,利盟独有

的“嵌入式解决方案应用 LeC2.0”就是

这样一款低成本的解决方案。用户无需

购置服务器,只需要把 LeC 安装在利盟

的智能数码复合机上接入企业局域网,

就可以对网络中的多台网络设备状态进

行管理(包括非利盟品牌的设备也可以

管理),最多可以管理到 100 台设备。

可监控的信息包括设备当前状态、耗材

余量、打印 / 复印 / 扫描 / 传真的数据等等。

还可以按照用户的设定发送数据报告和

报警功能。

能源所《中国复印复合机能耗经济

性分析研究报告》出台 倡议 A4/A3 合理

部署在欧美等打印机市场比较成熟的国

家,A4 复合机已经占市场主流,然而我

国政府机构和大型办公企业仍然盲目偏

重对 A3 复合机的采购,在复印机配置

方面存在着严重的不均衡性。这种不均

衡性体现在 A3、A4 纸张的使用数量和

A3、A4 幅面打印机的采购数量上,比如

在政府办公部门,A4 用纸大都占到用纸

量的 80% 以上,而 A4 与 A3 复印机数

量的比例最大也不会超过 10%:90%,离

最优配置还有很大差距。不仅如此,对

比相同打印速度的 A3 复印机,A4 复合

机的工作功耗要少将近 1000 瓦,这就意

味着每工作 1 小时,就少耗一度电。

国家发改委能源研究所也就此现象

专门出台了《中国复印复合机能耗经济

性分析研究报告》,在该项调研中指出,

在我国政府部门中,如果按照 A4/A3 纸

张的使用比例把 A4/A3 复印机进行合理

的配比,1 年就可以节省大约 15.5 亿度

电,如果推及到整个中国市场,这种“合

理部署”带来的节能效益将更加的可观。

对于激光打印机来说,成像卡盒是

最核心的部件之一,在日常打印应用中,

常见故障率最高的也是和成像卡盒相关,

其内部存在很多核心的技术因素,包括

墨粉是非常关键的因素,对于墨粉来说,

有 6 大因素会直接影响打印输出效果,

现在与大家分析共享结果。

1.黑度体现打印质量重中之重

在激光打印机设备中,用户在查看

打印文件时,文件黑度是大家第一关注

的,如果打印文件不够黑,或者打印字

体暗淡的时候,这说明黑度不够,打印

质量差,因此在墨粉中黑度值是重中之

重。

黑度值如何测算呢?黑度值的计算

是黑度值测试器先发射一定数量强光束,

射到待测图形,再反射回到黑度值测试

器,计算其被吸收的光束,再通过个固

定的计算程式得出的值。

碳粉的黑度值不是越高打印效果越

好的,国际的黑度值标准(即原装 OEM

)为 1.3 。为了达到各种行业的不同需要,

公司墨粉的平均黑度值一般控制在 1.4

左右为宜。

奔图推出的 M 系列多功能一体机,

就是一个非常典型的代表。在我国内有

些型号的打印机,则用来出胶片或硫酸

纸之类的打印介质,这些打印介质的纤

维都经过特殊的化学处理,相对普通的

打印纸,墨粉中的树脂更难熔化渗透到

纸纤维中,所以对于墨粉的要求比较高。

在保证成像卡盒状态的条件下,其平均

黑度值一般在 1.50 左右 ( 个别型号平均

黑度值可达 1.55,如 Xerox P8e)。

认识中有个误区,认为打印字样越

黑越好。有时墨粉的其它因素也有造成

这个错觉,比如墨粉的定着度较差,仅

仅是吸附在纸的表面而未充分渗透到纸

纤维里,这时纸张表面的墨粉颗粒大部

分堆积在纸张表面,对光线的吸收率是

非常高的,给人感觉非常黑。但事实上,

这种墨粉的熔点偏高,打印的字样并不

牢固,并不是一种好墨粉。当然黑度值

偏高也有其负面作用,就是一定量的墨

粉,在一定的平均覆盖率下,其打印页

数相对减少。

2.底灰是图像和清晰度的关键因素

底灰是用黑度测试器测试复印样

张中没有字样的空白处的黑度值。在一

般情况下,原装 OEM 墨粉的底灰值为

0.001-0.03 ,大于 0.06 时,目测的结

果就会感觉复印样张有点脏。影响底灰

值的原因主要是墨粉的电性能和磁性能。

不同型号的复印机要求墨粉的电磁性一

般不一样的。这也是我们强调专粉专用

的一个原因。另外,由于复印机其它因

素也会造成底灰。正品墨粉的底灰控制

在 0.005 以下。另外,由于感光鼓表面

的感光层的破损而引起的漏电,也会引

起底灰,这也可以解释当感光层被磨损

后,打印的页面在破损处会有明显的黑

色印迹。

3、废粉率是打印量的保障

废粉率是指一定量墨粉在正常复印

中产生的废粉所占的比例。废粉率直接

影响到一定量的墨粉所复印的张数。标

准要求墨粉的废粉率小于 10% 。

墨粉在生产时,把各种配料按一定

比例加入在一起,并充分搅拌,经相应

的处理,再研磨而成。在这过程中,并

不能保证每个墨粉颗粒的粗细以及其主

要配料墨粉、铁粉、树脂的所占比例相同,

只能是在一定的比例范围之内。超出这

个范围,这个墨粉颗粒就可能成为废粉。

一般墨粉的废粉率在 5%~7% 之间。

4、分辨率字体效果的关键

分辨率是指每英寸所能打印的点

( DPI )。墨粉颗粒的粗细会直接影响

到分辨率。目前,墨粉的分辨率主要有

300DPI 、 600DPI 、 1200DPI ,而分辨

率在 1200DPI 的 HP1200 、HP4100 两

种型号打印机对墨粉的要求是相当高的。

我们可以打印一些笔划较多的小字

来目测其是否模糊,来判断其分辨率的

高与低。也可以观察线条是否有毛边,

汉字在拐角处是否断角以及是否有空心

发虚等现象评估。  

5、定着度是通过定影单元固定字体

定影牢固度指的是附着在纸张表面

的墨粉熔化后渗透到纤维的能力。树脂

的优劣是影响墨粉定影牢固度的一个主

要因素。

树脂熔点过高时,当附有墨粉颗粒

的纸张经过定影组件,未能充分熔化渗

透到纸纤维时,已从定影组件中通过。

但是熔点过低,墨粉的稳定性又会变得

很差。我们测试时,可以用手抚摸打印

图形的表面,来感觉其粗糙程度,所而

得出其定着度好与差。一般来说,定着

度较差的墨粉其打印的文字表面会很粗

糙。严格测试时,可以用一种特定的胶

带去粘打印图形,再揭下来检测图形的

黑度变化。

6、重影现象解析

就是在文字(或其他图案)的正下

方(走纸方向)出现一个与其一样的文

字(或图案),但是密度值(黑度)要

比其低很多。一般在定影过程或转印过

程时形成。

1. 当墨粉的主要原材料之一树脂的

分子量分布不好时,墨粉进入定影系统

时,部分会粘在定影辊上,当定影辊再

次与介质相遇时,会将这些墨粉转移到

介质上面,并定影形成鬼影。

2 . 大家知道, OPC 感光鼓上的墨

粉不会 100% 的被转移到介质上面,残

留的粉将被刮粉刀收集到废粉仓内,而

当刮粉刀老化或磨损时,残留的粉不会

被刮干净,这样,当再次与介质接触

浅谈激光打印机如何释放粉尘On Laser Printer Dust Release Method

时又会被转移到介质上形成重影。

鬼影的形成是因为感光表面的文字

图形形成的不等位电荷区在完成一次成

像后,仍残留可致成潜像的电荷区,以

致在下一次成像中,仍可见其潜像的现

象。墨粉的电性直接影响鬼影现象的明

显与否。鬼影现象与重影现象相似,但

又有别于重影。重影现象一般是由于机

器的故障现象引起,如定影组件中的上

辊氟层被破坏,引起粘粉,从而导致重

影。另外,打印介质也会影响鬼影现象,

象硫酸纸比普通打印纸更容易出现鬼影

现象,刚打印过的纸也会比未使用过的

打印纸容易出现鬼影现象。

随着生活水平的不断提高,我们更

加关注自身的健康问题。特别是上班一

族,每天都要使用的激光打印产品,其

对环境的污染,对健康的不利,也渐渐

被大家接受。那么激光打印产品在工作

时,是如何对环境造成影响的呢?

谈到激光打印机是如何对环境造成

不利影响的,首先我们就要从激光打印

产品的工作原理说起。激光打印机在工

作时,可分为充电、曝光、显影、转印、

定影、清洁、消电 7 个步骤。而主要产

生粉尘过程就在充电和显影 2 个过程。

充电过程

激光打印机的感光鼓表面光导体材

料在不见光的情况下为绝缘体,呈中性

状态,不带有任何电荷。 要实现在光导

体表面的 " 静电潜像 ",必须在光导体表

面进行充电,使之荷电。只有这样, 当

激光束扫描到光导体上时,光导体被曝

光的点导通,形成光束点阵。点阵电荷

与基体导通 形成 " 电位差潜像 ",当感光

鼓旋转到与显影磁辊相切位置时,把磁

辊上载有与光导体表面电荷属性相反的

墨粉吸引到感光鼓表面,从而在感光鼓

上显现出墨粉图像。

欲使感光鼓能按照图文信息吸附上

碳粉,应先对硒鼓进行充电,充电电极

是一根与感光鼓轴平行的钨丝,其上带

有 5~7kV 的直流高压,当硒鼓表面与钨

丝非常接近时,周围的空气被电离产生

电晕放电,使感光鼓带上了电荷。电压

的正负由钨丝所带的电压决定,若光导

材料为硒碲合金时,则充正电,感光鼓

旋转一周后使整个表面均被充电。

激光打印机对感光鼓充电的方法,

因机型不同而采用的具体充电方法也有

不同,但充电原理基本一致,都是采用

直流高压的电晕放电对感光鼓表面充电。

在整个充电过程中,感光鼓吸附带

电荷的碳粉,是第一个环节最有可能对

环境造影响的阶段。在这一环节中,如

果用户使用的是兼容耗材、或者灌装碳

粉,就极易造成碳粉随着吸附过程散发

到空气中去,而这种释放的碳粉是一种

极其微小的颗粒,这种颗粒可以伴随着

我们的呼吸进入到肺部,长此以往必将

对我们的健康造成影响。

显影过程

当感光鼓表面形成的静电潜像,经

过显影显示出墨粉图像,这个过程就是

“显影”。显影工作时由显影器完成,

其作用是将静电潜像变成可见图像。

当我们将打印纸放入机器后,打印

纸会在与感光鼓接触前,被充满负电荷。

当打印纸与感光鼓接触时,带有正电荷

的静电潜像会与打印纸上得负电荷相互

吸引,从而附着在打印纸上,在经过热

转印单元加热使碳粉颗粒外圈与纸张纤

维吸附,最终形成打印图像。最后打印

机会自动去除感光鼓上剩余的碳粉,并

将电位归正,以便下一轮循环开始。

第二阶段显影过程中,在热转印单

元和感光鼓去除碳粉的过程,都有可能

造成碳粉的外泄。特别是在热转印单元,

那些使用兼容硒鼓及灌粉的用户更加危

险。随着热转印单元温度的升高,不仅

会使碳粉外泄,更可能导致生成危害性

更高的气体,从而对人体呼吸道、肺部

造成更大损害。

在了解激光打印产品的危害后,我

们应该采取更多措施,应对激光打印产

品可能对我们健康造成的危害。

一、前言

Doctor Blade( 简称 DB) 在业界被称

为量平刮刀或出粉刀,与供粉辊 (Supply

Roller, 简 称 SR) 及 显 像 辊 (Developer

Roller,简称 DR) 列为碳粉匣的三大重要

部件,由此可见其对于列印品质的重要

性。DB 的功能,主要是在碳粉匣里提供

一个适当压力紧靠于 DR 上,藉以抹平碳

粉,使碳粉均匀的摩擦带电,进而让碳

粉能精确的显像在感光元件 (OPC drum

or belt) 的潜像 (Latent Image) 上,以得

到良好的列印品。

本篇报告将针对市场上常见彩色碳

粉匣中,所使用的金属 DB 表面覆膜的功

用,作深入的解析,介绍黑木刮刀如何

以包胶方式,改变金属材质表面达到覆

膜的效果;另外,文中采用 HPCP1215

实例来探讨包胶以及未包胶 DB,搭配不

同的市售厂碳粉与原厂碳粉,在量测上

及列印品质的差异,期望借由本文让读

者更了解 DB 的功能,以及它对于列印质

量的重要性。

二、原厂机型常见的覆膜 DB 探讨

在近几年各大厂所推出的彩色激光

打印机型的卡匣中 ( 如 HP 或 兄弟等机

种 ),多采用金属 DB 且在与碳粉接触面

上有覆膜的设计,在参考许多研究文献

后我们将 DB 覆膜的原因及功能作了以下

的归纳整理:

(1)减少静电吸附力:碳粉本身的

静电力,会导致碳粉容易附着在金属 DB

上 , 且越小颗的碳粉所造成的静电力越

强,碳粉也越容易附着,如图一所示。

因此,在接触面上覆膜其功用在于减少

静电吸附力,能顺畅且均匀的抹平碳粉,

如图二所示。

图二、覆膜之 DB

(2)减少熔解沾黏问题:当碳粉通

过 DB 和 DR 之间时,碳粉里的外部添加

剂会沾附在 DB 上,这会使得 DB 对碳粉

摩擦带电的效率变差,再由于摩擦生热,

使得碳粉产生遇热溶化而黏附在 DB 上。

由于碳粉朝低熔点的趋势发展,更容易

导致这个问题产生。当碳粉沾黏在 DB 接

触面上时,会使得后方碳粉无法顺利通

过这个区域,造成 DR 无法将碳粉带出而

导致列印品质不良,如产生列印影像出

现垂直浓淡条纹等缺陷。经由金属表面

覆膜的方式,使得摩擦的材质得到改变,

进而降低了所产生的热能,并使碳粉不

易熔解和沾黏。

(3)不受环境湿度影响:在较高

的湿度环境下,碳粉容易因湿气而凝结

在一起,在被 DR 带起时而阻塞在金属

DB 接触面上,且高湿环境下易使得金属

DB,对碳粉摩擦带电的能力变差,而覆

膜 DB 因材质使表面不易沾黏碳粉,并维

持良好的摩擦带电能力

(4)提高摩擦带电量:DB 用於彩

色机器上搭配不同碳粉时,DB 压力必须

均匀,且需有适当表面粗糙度,若没有

如此,容易产生不均匀的线,在列印页

上既会造成列印品质不良,由于要达到

高品质全彩列印之要求,往往要藉由 DB

压力加大来得到较高的摩擦电荷,进而

获得良好的显像能力,但压力大更容易

造成碳粉沾黏在 DB 上的问题发生,而覆

膜 DB 因表面的摩擦材质改变,进而提高

碳粉的摩擦带电量及均匀性,改善列印

的品质。

三、DB 覆膜制造方式

3-1 原厂覆膜 DB 制程

分析许多彩色机型的 DB 时可见金

属表面贴覆了一层薄膜,而该薄膜的制

程可由下述方式制作:(1)塑化原料以

液态的方式从喷嘴滴定至软性材质或金

属表面,如图三所示,再通过预先设定

好等间距的两个辊轮,滚压使液态塑化

原料被均匀的压平贴覆於金属表面以达

到覆膜效果。(2)由于需达到提高碳粉

摩擦带电量及均匀性的要求,在滚压过

程中与碳粉接触面使用表面粗化滚轮,

其目的为了使表面产生一定的粗糙度,

经过粗化过程后将成品卷成卷后再冲压

成型。而覆膜材料可因应不同碳粉需求

而有:聚氨酯橡胶,聚酰胺树脂,聚酯

弹性体,聚酰胺弹性体,矽橡胶和矽树

脂等。

图三、原厂覆膜制程简图

3-2 KUROKI 包胶 DB 制程

由 于 原 厂 覆 膜 有 专 利 问 题, 加 上

覆膜厚度及表面粗糙度的控制不易,因

此 KUROKI 多 年 来 均 利 用 高 精 密 的 模

具,以包胶灌注的方式来对应许多原厂

201020289683.4)。其方式系为将 DB 之

金属片放置于上模具与下模具中间,并

将模具密合,再将胶料从灌胶口灌入,

使胶料填满至模具内之空间,待胶料成

形取出后即可达到与原厂覆膜相同的效

果,如图四所示。此方式可针对客户需

求搭配各种机型的卡匣设计,并透过控

制包胶长度、硬度、厚度及材质配方的

调整,已经成功解决国内外许多因不同

副厂碳粉所造成的搭配问题。

图四、包胶灌注制程及各种金属包胶样品

四、HP1215 实例探讨

由于回收市场上多使用不同的市售

碳粉搭配使用,为达到最佳的列印效果,

KUROKI 通常会藉由直接量测方式,将

碳粉经摩擦后的带电量 (Q/M) 及附着在

DR 上的碳粉层厚 (M/A) 数据化,以了解

不同碳粉与 KUROKI DB 的搭配变化,

以下由 HP CP1215 原厂卡匣搭配两种市

售碳粉与 KUROKI 包胶 DB 的实例探讨,

如图五和图六所示:

图五、碳粉带电量量测

图六、碳粉层厚量测

由于 KUROKI 包胶 DB 与原厂 DB,

在搭配 OEM 碳粉的 Q/M 与 M/A 均相近,

这意味这两者之间的列印品质将会十分

相似。而由同款的 KUROKI 包胶 DB 搭

配 A 与 B 碳粉的数据看来,两者的带电

量明显较低,且 B 碳粉的层厚明显要高

于 OEM toner 许多,这代表 B 碳粉在打

印过程产生色偏 (color shift) 以及列印品

质不良等问题的机率很高。

接着由图七可以看到相同碳粉在搭

配不同的 DB 所呈现的影像浓度 (Image

Density, 简称 ID) 数据变化。由于各家市

售碳粉的性质 ( 包含颗粒大小、色料种类

及添加比例等 ) 不同,因此列印浓度与

M/A 的关系在不同碳粉的比较上未必成

正比关系。故 KUROKI 会透过实际量测

列印浓度 (20% Halftone) 来比对,如图

七中 A 碳粉在搭配 KUROKI 覆膜 DB 时,

ID 值与 OEM 条件相当接近,但换上 B

Toner 后,则造成浓度过高,反而搭配未

覆膜 DB 时,ID 值较能接近原厂设定的

浓度。故 DB 的选择在卡匣中是需要针对

不同碳粉作出适当的条件变更来优化列

印的品质。

图七、搭配不同的 DB 所呈现的影像浓值数据变化

最后,KUROKI 会进行微观分析各

种条件的列印品质,以推荐客户最佳的

搭配选择,如图八所示。

判定方式以直观判断

图八、列印品质分析几及评判

五、结论

透过文献的归纳说明,可以清楚的

了解到原厂 DB 覆膜的功能及目的,另外

透过实例的验证,KUROKI 包胶 DB 确

实可以达到和原厂相近的高品质列印表

现。不过,由于市售碳粉的特性不同对

于覆膜的需求与否也不尽相同,举例如

Samsung 彩色打印机型中的碳粉匣采用

不锈钢金属 DB 就无覆膜的设计。

在 Recycle 的行业中,不同性质的

卡匣组件与碳粉的搭配问题屡见不鲜,

KUROKI 对于高品质的 DB 研究强调整

体搭配性的效果,KUROKI 可针对自身

产品依不同客户的要求做不同的设计改

良,来解决客户问题、满足客户的需求

并与客户做技术上的交流,以期能达到

接近原厂的高列印品质,并在环保的议

题上贡献心力。

HP Releases Extended Warranty Service for Large Format Printers

到 2015 年,亚太地区将有40% 的员工实现移动办公

西欧传统印刷和纸业市场未来将呈下降趋势

惠普推出大幅面打印机可延长保修期服务

根据 IDC 的全球移动办公人数预测(2011-2015 年),

亚太区(不含日本)的 8 亿 3870 万员工将于 2015 年之前实

现移动办公,其中大部分员工将在办公室工作。IDC 认为,

以移动化、社会化、云计算以及大数据为核心支撑技术的第

三代企业 ICT 平台时代即将到来。而且由于第三代企业 ICT

平台基于移动化和社会化的特征,使得其更加面向企业中 ICT

的真正用户 -- 即员工,IDC 相信其将更加人性化,也将在

企业中得到迅速普及。尤其在中国,有占全球近 20% 的手机

用户以及超过 30% 的移动互联网用户,这将为移动化在企业

应用的普及奠定坚实的用户基础。

随着每个用户配备多终端成为常态,以及个人自备设备

(BYOD)被越来越多的企业接受,并在企业 IT 政策方面“合

法化”,市场开始充斥着从厂商端到用户端对企业移动化进

程和战略的猜想和推断。这一趋势正促使企业和管理者调整

工作场所的 IT 架构,以提高员工的工作效率和满意度。

IDC 2012 年最新调研数据显示,与 2010 年相比,亚太

地区企业的移动化部署在加速,并出现了更多的创新应用(如

下图所示)。

方案的计划,包括:

1. 58% 的 受

访企业表示将 BYOD 作为公司重要的策略方向,其中 26% 表

示该策略将会在未来 12 个月实施。

2. 48% 的受访企业认为员工生产效率提升是 BYOD 最重

要的驱动因素。

3. 22% 的受访企业有自开发的针对移动终端的企业级应

用;26% 的受访企业在使用第三方的移动企业应用。

4. 超过 50% 的受访企业认为 NFC 还处于初期,看不到

短期效应;但也有 13% 的受访企业表示会在未来 12 个月考

虑 NFC 方案。

5. 18% 的受访企业会在未来 12 个月考虑部署移动支付

应用,25% 的企业表示会在更远的时间点考虑部署该应用。

近日,英国一家专业服务于市场研究领域的公司发布最

新调查研究报告,根据报告数据显示,在 2008 年至 2020 年

间,新闻纸的需求量将会下降 56%,商业纸张和印刷需求

也将下降 45.5%。该份研究报告由太阳化学和澳洲纸业公司

Paperlinx 赞助,报告预测市场最终总需求量将于 2020 年减

少 32.5%,与二十世纪九十年代初的数字相互对应。由于网

络出版和网络广告的影响,加上数字媒体的冲击,杂志的需

求量预测也将下降 32%。

NLK 联盟纸浆及纸张首席顾问,该报告的作者理查德·哈

里斯 (RichardHarris) 表示,这些都为我们敲响了警钟,我们

不能无视目前存在的问题。许多公司不得不重新考虑他们所

在的位置,此项报告的发布目的之一就是为了引起大家的讨

论,希望有相反的事件发生。然而,当哈里斯在表示悲观的

同时也表示纸张、印刷业和出版业仍旧有足够的时间来进行

反击。

同时,在印刷技术领域,报告显示数码印刷的市场份额

将会进一步扩大。就纸张生产商而言,新的产品将会不断涌

入市场,诸如可插入式智能 RFID,特种印刷和综合性技术的

产品的不断诞生。哈里斯继续说:“将在市场表现最好的是

广告业和商业印刷领域,其需求量预测仅仅下降 14.5%。”

3D 打 印 技 术 的

汽车已经上路。

这 辆 名 为

“Urbee”的汽车,

部 分 采 用 3D 打

印技术制造,如

全 部 采 用 3D 打

印技术制造,目

前来说还不太可能。“Urbee”橙红色车身,三个轮子、双座位,

扁长圆的外形显得小巧可爱,很有未来感,底盘为不锈钢制成,

包括玻璃嵌板在内的所有外部组件都是通过 Stratasys 公司的

大型 3D 打印设备生产。用电和汽油作为混合动力,百公里耗

油 1 .17 升,单缸发动机制动功率只有 8 马力,车速可达每小

时 100 公里至 110 公里。

在打印机里装上的液体或粉末,与电脑连接后,把“打

印材料”一层层叠加起来,最终把计算机上的蓝图变成实物,

真是让人领教了神笔马良的威力。Urbee 的打印精准减少了

对原材料的浪费,是环保车领域的“绿灯侠”。虽然单缸发动

机只有 8 马力,但最高时速可达到 112 公里,果真接得住“第

一打印车”的美称。

美国空客飞机公司意欲通过 3D 打印制造飞机

当前,3D 打印技术无疑是令人非常惊异的。其通过特殊

“油墨”进行层层打印出实际物体。您将有机会乘坐一架打印

的飞机吗?

美国空客公司的回答是有可能。这个项目之一的设计者

Bastian Schafer 目前就在忙于通过 3D 打印制造概念飞机的

工程。而用于该项计划的打印机需要如飞机库房一样大,约

为 80 米 ×80 米规格才可以。3D 打印技术拥有多种优势。不

仅节约成本,而且可以减少重量。相比传统制造方式,其可

以有效降低 65% 的重量。

这款概念飞机将采用多项创新设计理念。完全可回收利

用的飞机舱和可加热飞机座位,同时透明墙体可为乘客带来

全新的视觉感受。不要对这项技术期望过于热切,这些技术

预计将在 2050 年才可成熟,因此只能耐心等待。

汽车都可打印 未来世界生产方式将改变?

事实上,3D 打印早已不是梦想,用它打印一把尺子、一

个骨骼模型、甚至是一段血管,已经成为现实中活生生的应用。

目前,已经将 3D 打印技术应用在汽车制造业,第一辆应用

3D 打印将改变未来世界生产方式

Managed Print Services (MPS) Will Bring Renewed Innovation to India's Printer Market

3D Printing Will Change the World's Future Production Methods

打印管理服务给印度打印机制造业带来重创

据最新的调查数据显示,印度的打印机市场正处于低迷

状态。2012 年第一季度,印度的页式打印机市场和喷墨打印

机市场分别比 2011 年下滑了 13% 和 3.3%。

若上述统计数据准确,那打印管理服务(Managed Print

Services)就是造成打印机出货量下降的主要原因,而且这

种趋势还将继续延续下去。有业内分析师认为,多功能复合

一体机(MPS)对打印机市场来说既是好事也是坏事。以前

需要使用 10 到 20 台打印机的公司现在只要安装 1 到 2 台多

功能复合一体机就能完成相同的工作量,这就造成了打印机

和多功能设备(MFD)销量的下滑。

随着智能手机和笔记电脑等移动设备逐渐成为人们的沟

通平台以及消费者消费支出的减少,印度打印机的销量将进

一步下降。

目前,惠普在印度打印机市场上拥有 50% 以上的份额,

而且还将继续扮演市场领头羊的角色。排名第二的是佳能,

它在印度打印机市场上拥有 21.8% 的份额,紧随其后的是爱

普生和三星,它们的市场份额分别为 9.8% 和 7.9%。
