LED printing company OKI is no longer a one-man show, despite the new competitors, but instead they are very happy......
Christmas is approaching, a 38 meters high silver giant Christmas tree in Huaihai Road, Shanghai times square set up, which is equivalent to the multi-storey buildings of the Christmas tree will become the most in Shanghai this year.
Although the creation of a huge Christmas tree is expensive, but this year, the major businesses in the creation of a huge Christmas tree, do not forget to save energy". Big Shanghai Times Square Christmas tree using LED material, which can save more than 50%. The world's most famous Christmas tree Christmas tree - New York Rockefeller Center - this year by the conventional incandescent lamp to LED after the Christmas tree every day of the power consumed by the previous 3510 kilowatts reduced to 1297 kilowatts, saving electricity per day, equivalent to the United States general building one family for 1 months of electricity consumption. The use of LED technology optical imaging printer is also more conducive to environmental protection and energy saving.
LED stir a pond
With the popularity of digital color printers, LED imaging technology has once again been pushed to the forefront of the market. From the beginning of 2003, some of the original LED print head is not interested in the manufacturers have begun to study. Due to the maturity of LED imaging technology, the traditional laser printing technology manufacturers have expressed interest in this technology field.
November 19, 2007, Fuji Xerox Co announced the successful development of LED light source print head, the second day of the release of several new LED printer using LED print head.
Yamamoto Matsuo, a technical expert at OKI, welcomed the competition: "in fact, Fuji Xerox has released a LED print head that should be a competition for us, and we welcome this competition. Because of the current market, the number of LED and laser camp is 1:9, so no matter how hard our efforts, the power is limited. Fuji Xerox is a well-known company to join the LED camp, indicating that the status of LED lighting has been identified. "
In fact, the addition of other competitors, LED printing technology itself also has a role in promoting.
In the printer manufacturers, in addition to OKI has been holding high the banner of LED printing technology, but also some manufacturers have tried to enter this field. For example, Fujitsu, NEC have been engaged in the development of LED, but because of various reasons finally gave up.
As the only manufacturer to adhere to the production of LED printers, OKI also encountered a lot of problems. For example, in the tender, some tenders have been stated that only allow laser printers to participate in, for the LED printer, it may lose the eligibility to participate. If more and more printing companies to join, there will be no such restrictions on the light source.
At the same time, with the development and growth of LED printers, with the continuous addition of other manufacturers, which will have an impact on the entire industry chain. For example, on the basis of compound semiconductor substrate suppliers, the original may just supply the OKI this one, in the future will supply several manufacturers. The supplier itself will have competition, and the manufacturer will have more choices when purchasing material.
Environmentally friendly printing
Re favored LED technology, and LED color printer, energy saving and power saving, and work in the process of generating ozone and other odor characteristics did not have a great relationship.
Data show that, in order to focus on environmental protection is famous in Europe, the rise of LED color printer is very fierce. In Canada and other countries emphasizing environmental protection and intelligent applications, LED color printer sales are more than the traditional laser printer.
At the same time, LED light source can be recycled and reused. For environmental protection has been criticized in the field of printing supplies recycling and pollution is a good news.
In November 2007, the State Environmental Protection Administration recently released "electronic waste pollution prevention management measures", to electronic products, electrical and electronic equipment manufacturers, importers and sellers from February 1, 2008 onwards the recycling of waste products or equipment, and is responsible for the innocuity storage, use or disposal. Unlicensed electronic waste recycling, the maximum penalty will be 500 thousand yuan.
Printer supplies recycling has been an important issue faced by printing companies. In some countries with strict environmental protection requirements, printer manufacturers have to recycle their waste electronic equipment and supplies through stores and distributors. In China, although there are relevant laws and regulations, but due to the lack of mandatory measures, many enterprises have no substantive recovery measures. In this case, environmental protection and energy saving LED light source is undoubtedly a good choice.
In addition to the use of LED technology, some companies have begun to recognize the importance of environmental protection, have their own products in the production of environmental protection measures.
October 26, 2007, Fuji Xerox released China's first color wax spray printer Phaser 8560DN. The imaging technology of spray wax printing new, melting the wax block after injection to oil drum, the drum of the wax drops under pressure transfer to paper, paper output and wax droplets solidify harden, the print job is completed. Spray wax printer in terms of printing speed and the printing effect can be comparable with ordinary laser printers and inkjet printers, and the only material is CMYK four-color wax block, completely harmless (even edible), and waste generated is far lower than the traditional inkjet or laser printer, more environmentally friendly.
