Class Action Lawsuit against Samsung
The law firm of Kabateck Brown Kellner, LLP filed a class action lawsuit against Samsung for rigging its printers and misleading consumers in its quest to sell as many costly and profitable toner cartridges.
According to the Marketwire article – “Samsung programs its printers to shut down and display a “toner empty” message when there is in fact a significant amount of toner still remaining in the toner cartridge. Users must install a new Samsung toner cartridge to resume using their printers, even though there is plenty of toner left in their old cartridge. Users cannot pursue the relatively cheaper options of refilling their old cartridges or using another company’s cartridges — Samsung employs “smart chip” technology to force consumers to use their cartridges.
Also there is an interesting link which gives the comparison of inkjet cartridge ink to other valuable liquids.
Whoever posts the second most expensive liquid by the end of September will win fifty bucks or a new cartridge.

Canon Portable Photo Printers
Canon U.S.A. announced two new additions to the popular SELPHY compact photo printer line: the SELPHY ES3 and SELPHY ES30. The Canon SELPHY ES3 will include one gigabyte of internal flash memory for storage of photos.
Featured in the new SELPHY ES3 Compact Photo Printer is the inclusion of internal flash memory which allows for images to be stored directly on the printer making sharing with friends and family even easier. You will no longer have to worry about uploading images from a memory card each time and can print out up to 1000 images on command.
A new wide-angle viewing 3.5-inch LCD monitor can be found on the Canon SELPHY ES3 while the SELPHY ES30 Compact Photo Printer comes equipped with a 3.0-inch high-resolution LCD monitor to make checking images in horizontal and vertical directions very easy to do.
Both the Canon SELPHY ES3 and SELPHY ES30 Compact Photo Printers have been designed with portability in mind. The newly designed carrying handle makes it easy for the printer to be carried from room to room. With the power adapter now being built into the printer’s body, only the power cable needs to be connected to operate the printer. In addition to the integrated ink and paper cartridges found on previous SELPHY models, two new “Easy Photo Packs” are now available that can add a gold and/or silver effect on all your photographs.
The estimated selling price of the SELPHY ES3 Compact Photo Printer is $199.99, and $149.992 for the SELPHY ES30 Compact Photo Printer.

Ricoh’s Sales Force just got Bigger
NEW YORK (Associated Press) – IKON Office Solutions, which sells and leases copiers, printers and other office machines, has agreed to be bought by one of its suppliers, Ricoh Co. of Japan, for $1.62 billion.
The cash offer of $17.25 per share represents a 33 percent premium to IKON’s average stock price for the last two months, the company said. IKON shares closed Tuesday at $15.56.
The deal will combine IKON’s sales and service capabilities with Ricoh’s engineering and manufacturing expertise, IKON said. It follows an “extensive review of our strategic opportunities,” said IKON Chairman and Chief Executive Matthew Espe in a statement.
IKON also sells and leases equipment from other companies, including Canon Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. It was not immediately clear if IKON will maintain its relationship with those companies.
The deal, which has been approved by the boards of both companies, is expected to close in the fourth quarter. As a subsidiary of Ricoh, IKON will keep its headquarters in Malvern, it said.
Separately, Ricoh said it will finance the deal with a mix of internal and external funding
