Electronic equipment has gone through the most amazing revolution in the last couple of years, along with this revolution TV’s PC’s and Mobile phones have slimmed down into the most stylishly developed electronic imaginable. The only piece of equipment that doesn’t seem to have fared so well is the Printer. They are still built out of bulky pieces of plastic that seem to have been thrown together as cheaply as possible. As least this was the case until the Samsung SCX 4500 printer and Samsung SCX 4500 Toner came along.

Inkjets have certainly not done very well and at really cheap prices of below the $100 mark it hardly seems worth replacing ink cartridges when they run out. Laser printers on the other hand have done better. Samsung seem to have a much more responsible outlook when it comes to designing their equipment. They offer products that are reasonably priced as well as good designs.

The latest example of this design genius is the SCX 4500 Printer Toner, it has a very small footprint of 13 by 15.5 by 6.5. Although these small dimensions may belie your faith in this product it is still a marvel of design. This printer is a full function MFP regardless of the fact that it has been slimmed down. It also has a very stylish exterior and if it is style you want then you will definitely get it. This printer is incredibly quiet as well as easy to operate.

This MFP features touch sensitive controls, however some of the settings are limited. The software application for scanning and some of the printer functions is SmartThru and installation to Windows XP is a very simple process. Just make sure you have a USB cable, if you don’t you will have to buy one, but if you have an old printer you can use the cable from that. It takes about five minutes to set up and is ready to work. A printed page can be copied in about 10 seconds and there is very little warm up time required.

Although the paper cassette is hidden in the bottom of the printer it has a limited capacity, but if you want a printer with a small footprint, what more can you expect. Print quality is reasonable, but considering the $300 or so price tag of this laser printer, this is to be expected.

Grey-scale printing is more than passable and the scanner function although slow is a good quality optical resolution at 600 x 2400 dpi. Toner plugs are also easy to remove and install.

For home use the Samsung SCX-4500 MFP is ideal, as far as networking goes this printer does not have a built in Ethernet, so it is not ideal. It also does not have a USB port for USP to print function. With a print speed of approximately 16 pages per minute it is not the fastest, and some of the competition is way ahead of this. But if you want style then the trade offs are bearable.

Summary: The SXC 4500 Toner is very cool and the design overshadows many of the limitations in functionality. If you are looking for a printer that does not look like a printer, then you are onto a good thing with this machine. For maximum efficiency, you do have to make sure that you use Samsung SCX 4500 toner plugs and this will ensure the best quality of print as well as keep your stylish new printer reliable.

Mac Box Set Family Pack Reviewed

Mac Box Set Reviews

Thinking about upgrading your Mac with the most recent Apple software package? The latest

Mac Box Set may be purchased as a single computer install or you can install it on up to five machines with the mac box set family pack.

Mac Box Set Comes With:

1. Fast Leopard Mac OS X v10.5.6 Operating System

2. Hot Media – Life ‘09, iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb, iDVD

3. iWork ‘09 Release, featuring new Pages, Numbers, and Keynote

The Mac Box Set, product number APLMB997ZA is just like getting a new Mac according to many customers:

Like buying a new Mac! – JC Ruckland

I had a 2006 iMac running Tiger OS and iLife HD. I never really had the need to upgrade my old OS until I changed employment and the company that I work for now is using Leopard. Time Machine is such a wonderful feature, and best of all, I was able to use it with my external USB drive. No backups to buy. Not only that, but after seeing the new features of iLife09, especially iWeb and iMovie, I knew I wanted that software too. I was amazed to see that you could buy all three bundled for over 40% off the cost of all three! It’s just like I bought an all new iMac for a fraction of the price! Sounds like a paid advertisement, but it’s true. Installation was smooth, and I’m loving the OS and new software. Truly a great deal for us with a computer a few years old, and wanting to breath new life into it.

Great Applications at a great price – JC Robertson

I purchased the Mac Box Set, and definately happy with my purchase. Not only do you get the most up-to-date version of Leopard (10.5.6) OS, but iWork 09 and iPhoto 09, cheaper than you would by buying both separately. Both are working perfectly. Love the faces feature in iPhoto and the compatability of iWork with Office documents.

Incredible deal – LAX

I was about to upgrade my old 2006 iMac to iLife 09 and to Leopard early January, when I saw this coming out. Waited for its release and bought it at a greatly reduced price and even got iWork thrown in. It was a great deal and should be the last upgrade for this told iMac, which should give me another 2 to 3 years of use.

Breathing New Life for Older iMac – I Kingsley

I had already upgraded my RAM, and I made the grave error of watching the opening ceremoney at MacWorld. Gee. I just HAD to have iLife and iWork! This package is better priced than at Apple, and everything works as advertised. In spite of the learning curve (as I expected), I’m having a blast with the new features, and will be getting a laptop to show off my creations since I work in a Windows shop.

Laser printers are becoming increasingly popular among home and business users due to their ability to print faster than an inkjet printer. Laser printers might be more expensive, but the cost of maintenance is lower than inkjet printers.

Your printing needs will determine which printer you need.

How Laser Printers Work

Rasterizing an Image

When a document is sent to the printer, the printer driver translates the image to the printer, via the port connection.  For the computer and the printer’s controller to communicate they need to “speak” the same language. There are two primary languages used in laser printers: Adobe’s Postscript and HP’s Printer Command Language (PCL). Each language describes everything on the page including fonts, graphics, spacing and colors.  When the printer’s controller receives the data, the Raster Image Processor (RIP) will then break down all the information into a raster image or into a series of dots.

Writing

To create the image on the photoreceptor drum, first a corona wire or a charged roller, will give a positive electrostatic charge to the drum. As the drum rotates, the laser “draws” the raster image across the drum by creating a pulse of light for each dot of the image. Each pulse of light is altering the electrical charge of the drum.

Developing

Once the page is created, the toner is coated onto the drum. First, the developer unit moves through the toner. Because the developer unit has a negative charge, it picks up the positively charged toner. The developer then passes through the drum assembly. Because the drum assembly has a stronger negative charge it attracts the toner to make it “stick” the image onto the drum.
After the toner is coated onto the drum the corona wire will give a sheet of paper negative charge to pull the toner off the drum. The drum and the paper move at the same speed letting the paper pick up the image exactly as it was created on the drum. In color laser printers, the developing process is repeated four times, once for each color (cyan, magenta, yellow, black).

Fusing

With inkjet printers, the liquid printer ink is absorbed into the paper once it hits the paper. But toner is a powdery substance so there is nothing holding it to the paper but the electric charge. To set the image to the paper, the paper passes through the fuser. With the heat and pressure of the fuser, the toner is “melted” into the fibers of the paper.

Cleaning

To prepare for the next page, soft plastic blades wipe off any excess toner left on the drum. The drum passes through the discharge lamp to “erase” any electrical charge left on the drum. To begin the process again, the drum is recharged by the corona wire.

Parts of an Laser Printer & How they Work

Photoreceptor Drum and Corona Wire

The core of the laser printer. A metal cylinder, made of a layer of photoconductive material, which holds the raster image created by the laser.  A charged wire gives off an electrostatic charge to both the drum and paper.

Fuser and Developer Unit

Heated by internal lamps, paper passes through the two rollers to fuse the toner into the fibers of the paper.  A collection of small, negative charged, magnetic beads that are attached to a rotating metal roller. The developer unit moves the magnetic beads through the toner hopper to pick up toner to be deposited onto the drum.

Toner and Toner Hopper

A powdered ink that is given an electrical charge so it can “stick” onto the drum and paper. Since toner is fused to the printed material, it doesn’t bleed or smudge easily as liquid ink.The toner hopper is a container where toner is stored.  A discharge lamp removes any residual charge left on the drum after a page as been printed.

Laser Unit

When the laser is “drawing” the page, instead of moving across the drum it bounces the beam off a movable mirror.  As the mirror moves, a light shines through a series of lenses.

Printer Driver and Controller

A printer driver is software that translates data from your computer so that the printer can understand it. The driver describes the text, image, etc. to be printed and translates it into the printer language.  The controller is essentially the “command station” of the printer. The control circuitry is responsible for decoding information sent from the computer, via the printer driver, to the printer, as well as controlling the various parts of the printer

Buying Guide

Are you going to be printing primary black and white documents or are you going to be printing color graphics? Is the printer for home use or for a small office?

Advantages

– Faster than inkjets
– Less maintenance

Disadvantages

– More expensive
– Only higher end models print in color

Price Range

* $200 & Up

Which Laser Printer is Right for Me?

Monochrome Printers

If you are going to use the laser printer for a home office or in a business office, monochrome laser printers offer the best balance between print quality, price and speed.
Personal laser printer prices have dropped down around $200 making them an alternative to inkjet printers. For almost the same price of some of the higher end inkjet printers, some monochrome laser printers are faster and are less expensive to maintain.
If you are going to need a printer to print primarily text as well as the occasional graphic/picture, you might want to consider buying a monochrome laser printer or an inexpensive inkjet printer.

Color Laser Printers

Small businesses needing to print color brochures, photographs, or othe color graphics should look into buying a color laser printer. Color lasers are some of the most expensive printers, but because of their quality and speed, they are a good solution for offices and small businesses.

Personal Laser Printers

Most personal laser printers are monochrome printers. They work best in printing text and simple graphics. You won’t find a great selection of personal color printers because of their high prices. However, with several color lasers being priced for less than $1,000, they do make a possible alternative to inkjets.

Workgroups

Workgroup laser printers have the same features as a personal laser but have added features designed for multiple users. These features could include input/output trays, duplex printing, sorting and stapling. Workgroup printers will have faster processors and more memory to be able to handle multiple tasks.

Features to Consider

Print Resolution

Print resolution is the maximum number or dots per square inch that can be printed, measured horizontally and vertically. The more dots per inch will give you greater detail such as cleaner text and sharper images.
If printing mainly text look for a laser printer with a resolution of 600×600 dots per inch. If you will be printing more than text consider a printer with a resolution of 1200×1200 dots per inch.

Speed

Print speed is measured by the number of pages the printer printsper minute. The cost of any printer will go up depending on its speed. A personal laser printer should be able to print 15-20 pages per minute.
When it comes to print speed, most manufacturers determine their print speeds using the simplest text in draft mode, so in most cases print speeds are almost twice the speed you will actually have. Print speed is ultimately determined by the page complexity, the connection speed, and the printer’s memory.

Toner Cartridges & Drum

You can find many printers with separate toner and drum units or with the toner and drum is one disposable part. Having a separate toner cartridge and drum unit will save you money because you will only have to replace the toner cartridge when it runs out. Having combined units might make replacement easier but you will have to purchase the whole unit when one goes out.

Connectivity

Before you purchase a printer, check what kind of connections your computer supports. Most printers do not come with a printer cable that connects the printer to the computer so you will need to include this cost when budgeting for a new printer.

Memory

Memory will play an important part in the print speed of your printer. The more memory your printer has the faster it will be.  Documents that are in queue (waiting to be printed) are sent to the printer’s memory. If you are printing emails, word documents and the occasional picture, memory is not and important function. Everyday printing usually doesn’t take as much memory. Look for a printer with more built in memory if you are planning to print large text documents and color graphics.If your printing demands happen to change, there are printers that you can upgrade with more memory.

Network Ready

If the printer is going to be used by multiple users, check to ensure the printer will be network ready. Many personal printers are not designed to be set up on a network.

Size and type options: The printer is a little fussy when it comes to certain paper types and sizes. It will accept standard, legal, letter, A4 and special sizes. However large quantities of any type or size will have to be manually fed for example envelopes. The paper tray is rather clever in that it will not allow you to load any thick media. Look for Brother HL 2040 printer cartridge.

Paper size and type: Most paper types and sized are accepted including standard, letter, legal and A4 as well a special sizes. However letterheads, legal,envelopes or any thick paper you will have to be fed manually and individually at a time. The printer does not allow you to load thick paper into main drawer in any case.

User-friendly Panel: The Brother HL 2040 Printer control panel easy to understand with only a couple of warning light- three to be exactly and only one button to start printing under various conditions such as waking, error clearing, general start-up and cancelling. Your computer will be the main printer control as the software provides for handling different operation situations from you computer instead of the printer itself.

User manual: The overall look of the user manual is dull. However the instructions for setting up your printer is well written and illustrated. You will have to ignore the other same-priced Brother printer installation instructions as they are also included in the booklet. The manual can also be printed from the software CD-ROM in PDF.  It also doesn’t mention target=”_blank”>Brother toner cartridge.

Guide: The user manual is well presented as installation and setup is explained extensively. Other same priced Brother printer options will have to be skipped as they are also contained in the guide. A user guide is also included on the printer software CD in PDF format.

Forget upgrades: If you love adding and upgrading your printers avoid this one, as no accessories are available. You will have to be satisfied with what you see and get. If double printing be required or print quantity increase you will have to borrow the neighbours’ printer as you will not be able to add another tray. If you foresee any such event rather buy another model printer.

Ports: The printer is chop-chop connected to your computer via USB or Parallel ports. Ethernet as well as wireless are unfortunately not available with this model or as upgrade.

A Brother HL 2040 toner is included. Brother HL 2040 toner has a 1500 page print capacity. For more information, check out our site http://www.qtoner.us.

The Ins and Outs of Inkjet Printers

There are currently two technologies that dominate the personal printer market: inkjet and laser printers. Of these two, inkjet printers are the most popular and least expensive.  But how do they work? And how do you know which one is best for your needs?  Hopefully, the following guide will help you answer some of those questions.

How Inkjet Printers Work

When a document is sent to the printer, the printer driver translates the text and images into the inkjet printer’s language. After the printer receives information, the controller activates the printer.

The rollers feed the paper into the printer and are positioned at the start of the page. The print head will then begin to move across the page spraying droplets of ink onto the page. As the print head is printing, the motor stops momentarily to spray multiple dots at the defined area to create all colorsar.  When the print head reaches the end of the page, the rollers move the paper forward until the full page is printed.

Parts of an Inkjet Printer & How they Work

The Print Head Assembly

The print head assembly generally consists of two parts – the print head and the ink cartridge. The print head operates the printing action of the printer. The print head contains a series of nozzles that are used to spray droplets of ink. It may be included in the printer or part of the inkjet cartridge.  Inkjet cartridges come in different combinations, depending on the manufacturer or model. Cartridges can have a separate tank for each color or one cartridge for each color. Most inkjet printers will use four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to create almost any color combination. If the inkjet printer doubles as a photo printer, it will use six colors, by adding the light magenta and light cyan to extend the printer’s color gamut.

Stepper Motor, Belt and Stabilizer Bar

The stepper motor is what moves the print head and cartridge back and forth across a page. Some printers will have a second stepper motor to park the print head assembly when the printer is not in use.  The belt is used to attach the print head assembly to the stepper motor.  The print head assembly moves across a stabilizer bar to ensure that each row of dots are even and precise.

Paper Feed Assembly

The paper feed assembly also consists of two cooperating parts – the paper tray or feeder, and the rollers.   Inkjet printers will have either a paper tray that can be loaded with paper or a feeder that is located in the back of the printer. Both include a sensor that stops the printer when it is out of paper.  A set of rollers pulls the paper from the paper tray/feeder and controls the rate at which the paper is moved past the print head assembly.

Printer Driver and Controller

A printer driver is software that translates instructions from your computer. The driver describes the text, image, etc. to be printed and translates it into the printer language.  The controller is essentially the “command station” of the printer. The control circuitry is responsible for decoding the information sent from the computer, via the printer driver, to the printer, as well as controlling the various motors of the printer.

Buying Guide

If you need a printer to print school reports and the occasional picture, an inexpensive inkjet printers can meet all your printing needsll. If your printing needs are a little more advanced, you can find inkjet printers with added features that will still be less expensive than purchasing a laser printer.  The more features you need and the type of quality you are looking for will add to the cost of the printer; however, you can find a printer with good print quality for under $100.

Advantages

– Inexpensive
– The ability to print in color

Disadvantages

– Slow
– High maintenance costs

Price Range

– $30-200

Features to Consider

Print Quality

When deciding on what inkjet printer is best for what you need, don’t let price be the deciding factor. Higher prices don’t necessarily indicate the best print quality or speed of an inkjet printer.  Before purchasing a printer, shop around and when you have a specific model in mind, if available, ask to print a test page to see for yourself the printer’s print quality.

Print Speed

Inkjet printer speed is measured by the number of pages the printer can print out in a minute. The cost of any inkjet printer will go up the faster the printer is. The print speed might not be important for many home users but if you are planning to be printing a great deal, a faster printer might be a better option for you.

When it comes to print speed, most manufacturers determine their print speeds using the simplest text in draft mode, so in most cases print speeds are almost twice the speed you will actually have. Print speed is ultimately determined by the page complexity, the connection speed, and the printer’s memory.

Connectivity

Before you buy a printer, check your computer’s supported connections. The majority of printers do not come with a printer cable so you will need to include this cost when budgeting for a new printer.

Memory

Memory plays an integral part in the print speed of your printer. The more memory you have the faster your printer will be.  Documents that are in queue (waiting to be printed) are sent to the printer’s memory. If you are printing emails, word documents and the occasional picture, memory is not and important function. Everyday printing doesn’t usually take up as much memory. Look for a printer with more built in memory if you are planning to print large text documents and color graphics.  If your printing demands change, there are printers that you can upgrade with more memory.

Print Resolution

Print resolution is the maximum number or dots per square inch that can be printed, measured horizontally and vertically. The more dots per inch will give you finer details such as sharper text and cleaner images. Look for an inkjet printer with a resolution of 1200 x1200 dots per inch or higher.

Cartridges & Supplies

The real price of an inkjet printer comes from the ongoing cost of replacing cartridges. If you know you will be using one color more than the others, consider an inkjet printer with individual ink cartridges. You’ll save money in the long run because you will only need to replace the cartridges you need. With tri-color inkjet cartridges (three colors in one container), you will need to replace the whole cartridge when one color is empty.

This incredible handbag is one of the many that was created for the rebel in all of us and can certainly go with any outfit in the world.

What many people do not know about Juicy Couture Daydreamer is the fact that they are one of the only modern designer lines that actually dip their talents into a lot of different things. Firstly, Juicy Couture started out as a company that dealt a lot with sports and casual wear, nowadays, they have moved up in the fashion world and are producing some of the most beautiful things in the world.

Nordstrom sells only the best that the fashion world has to offer and this proves that Juicy Couture ranks right up there with other couture labels.

There are a few things that you need to consider whenever you are buying a Juicy Couture handbag, the first being the price. Juicy Couture handbags, while they are affordable for most people, they are far from inexpensive. A normal bag can run anywhere from one hundred all the way to five hundred dollars and while that seems like a lot, you are purchasing the Juicy Couture name with it as well.

Another thing that you want to really give some thought to is going to be replicas. While it might be tempting to get yourself a replica of your favorite Juicy Couture handbag or jewelry, getting the original will by far last longer and look better in the end.
