Review from Amazon:

In this compelling argument for a new direction in US energy policy, world-renowned engineer and best-selling author Robert Zubrin lays out a bold plan for breaking the economic stranglehold that the OPEC oil cartel has on our country and the world. Zubrin presents persuasive evidence that our decades-long relationship with OPEC has resulted in the looting of our economy, the corruption of our political system, and now the funding and protection of terrorist regimes and movements that are committed to our destruction.

Debunking the false solutions and myths that have deterred us from taking necessary action, Zubrin exposes the fakery that has allowed many politicians—including current US president George W. Bush—to posture that they are acting to resolve this problem while actually doing nothing significant toward that goal.

PUBLISHER'S MESSAGE

Dear readers:

Busy celebratory months of the New Year and Chinese Spring Festival are now

behind us and it’s time to set the mood for serious work for the following months

of 2015. The festive holiday season does indeed help with clearing the mind and

invigorating the soul. We anxiously lie in wait for spring to come knocking on our

door, bringing with it a fresh chance for new growth.

I have to boast that we've accomplished quite a bit recently. Namely, visiting

the Reman Expo in Frankfurt and paying visits to a few major distributors in Turkey.

Through our intensive meetings with industry players, we have gained a much

deeper understanding of the industry's challenges, as well as its potential for

growth. The many industry entrepreneurs we encountered, showcasing their

striking vision and continuous innovation for added value to customers, truly

impressed us.

We are also fortunate to be able to ally with industry veterans to conduct our

quarterly discussion on timely topics. They have graciously offered their insightful

viewpoints in our fourth WeSay report compiled by Steve Weedon on page

17. Additionally, be sure not to miss the in-depth analysis in A View of the U.S.

HP Dismisses Datel Suit

Hewlett-Packard has voluntarily dismissed its legal case against British-based Datel, in which it accused the company of stealing trade secrets from it. Since the move came as a surprise to the observers, the biggest question everyone will be asking now is why HP decided to back off after insisting on its allegations for eight months.

The case concerns codes that HP uses in chips in its ink cartridges as a way of protecting its proprietary technology against clones. The allegation against Datel was that it copied the codes and shared them with companies that manufacture clone cartridges. It was possible to do so because the chips for the HP printers are made by ST Microelectronics, which also offers its clients development kits they can use to develop their own software and firmware around the chips. Datel, HP claimed, had obtained one such development kit and had cracked the codes for the cartridges used on the HP 930 and HP 950 inkjets.

Datel’s stance was that what it did was a classic example of reverse engineering and, unlike stealing trade secrets, reverse engineering is a totally legal activity. The company also questioned HP’s right to claim ownership of the trade secrets in question, since it used technology developed by ST Micro, not HP.

After throwing accusations at each other, at the end of last year the two companies finally agreed to court-mandated mediation. As part of this process, they filed a joint case-management statement in which Datel states that it will consider the legality of HP’s claims in terms of competition and anti-competitive practices and look into the possibility of filing a counterclaim. Now, HP has decided to back down and this could be because it has realized that it doesn’t have a strong enough case, or that the company has better things to do with its money and legal power, given the ongoing separation between its businesses.

Toner Lifecycle: Re-use or RecycleBy Pau Estevewww.ameterreading.com

After attending to the RT Imaging summit in Barcelona, I discovered something interesting that I would like to share with you.

Users have 3 main choices:

OEM.• Buy a new original toner from OEM supplier (aka Canon, HP, Ricoh, Samsung…) When toner is empty, send it thru a recycling program back to the OEM supplier. OEM will recycle them, aka turn them into plastic and powder. End of story.

• OEMs try to get as much empties as they can so they don’t go into the remanufacturing business. Remember that consumables are the core business of printer manufacturers.

• O E M s a l s o f i g h t a g a i n s t manufacturers of compatible toner supplies, defending their intellectual property (aka Canon and HP lawsuits)

• OEMs have 90% of market share for color toner cartridges.

Compatibles• Buy compatible toner cartridge for a much lower price.

• Qual i ty i s not an issue in BW printing, but color printing is another thing, although it is getting better.

• D u e t o t h e r e c e n t p a t e n t infringement prosecution, especially by Canon and HP, this is not a 100% safe path, legally speaking.

• S o m e c o m p a t i b l e t o n e r manufacturers claim to have bigger page yields, although it is not clear where some printers recognize it.

Remanufactured• Buy a remanufactured toner cartridge and send the old one to the supplier to re-use it again. Keep going on and on….

• The green label is the nicest part of this option. Why throw it away when you can reuse it?

• Printing quality may be an issue here.

• Price is obviously a cornerstone here.

• Some remanufacturers will pay end-users as much as 5€ for an empty toner cartridge.

Canon’s Pixma Pro-100 Offers High-Speed Quality Prints

Canon has a reputation for making some of the best photo printers and the Pixma Pro-100 wireless inkjet machine is an example of why this reputation is well deserved. It works with eight ink cartridges and features Canon’s Optimum Image Generation system that makes sure the inks are mixed in such a way as to yield the most realistic colors. Also, thanks to the Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering system, the Pixma Pro-100, like the other printers in the Pixma lineup, makes possible resolutions of as high as 4,800 x 2,400 dots per inch.

The Pro-100 is 8.5 inches in height and 15.2 inches long and, given its dimensions, it’s a pretty heavy device, at a bit over 43 pounds. As for wireless capabilities, the device works with AirPrint for iPads and iPhones, and it is also compatible with cameras that have PictBridge. It features two input trays: one for photo and art paper at the back, and one for thicker, specialty papers, at the front.

As for speed, the Pro-100 boasts an ability to print a bordered photo of 11x14 inches in just 90 seconds. The quality of the prints, of course, depends on the quality of the original image. If this one’s good, then the Pro-100 can yield wonderful details and true colors. With a price tag of $500, it’s a good entry-level choice for photographers.

Chinese Company Releases Smallest UV Printer

A Chinese company, named World Best Import & Export Co., has released the smallest printer that uses UV ink to print and it can do this on a variety of surfaces without the need for coating them in advance. What’s more, the device can do embossed effects and can be used for printing, for example, corporate logos on a variety of products, according to a company spokesperson.

World Best Import & Export also launched a new flatbed printer -- a device that uses heat function technology to print on materials made from a range of plastics, including phone cases and ID cards. It also works directly on the surface of the item and does not require any coating in advance. The company is already selling a lot of its phone case printers, which is not surprising given the rate of new phone sales worldwide. The device can print on both hard and soft cases, so it can be used by phone case retailers to make customized designs.

Xerox Q4 Profit Beats Expectations

Xerox reported earnings per share of $0.31 apiece for the last quarter of 2014, versus analyst expectations for $0.29. Revenue for the period totaled $5.03 billion, down from $5.21 billion. Net attributable profit also declined, to $156 million, from $306 million a year earlier. The operating margin stood at 10.4% in the fourth quarter of 2014, up from 9.4% for the respective period of 2013.

Xerox announced recently that it had agreed to sell its information technology outsourcing business to French Atos for $1.05 billion in order to streamline its operations, focusing on business process outsourcing and document outsourcing. Figures suggest it’s on the right track, with revenues from services growing to $2.72 billion in the fourth quarter, up 1.1%, and revenues from printing technology declining by 8.1%.

Xerox, Sensor Films Join Forces on Touch Sensors

US sensor system developer Sensor Films has teamed up with Xerox on a new high-volume production platform that will feature the printer maker’s solid ink technology and Sensor Films’ expertise in jet-based deposition. There will be two products to come out of this partnership: a customizable sheet-fed digital deposition system and a roll-to-roll printing line. The first will hit the market in the second half of 2015, and the second is expected to be launched in 2016. Sensor Films hopes the release of these two pieces of production equipment will coincide with the growing demand for high volume, low-cost printed touch circuits. For Xerox, on the other hand, the partnership is a way of continuing with its long-term strategy of investing in solid ink printing technology.

3D Printing Market in Carmaking to Reach $1.25 Bln in 4 years

I t may come as a surprise, given 3D printing's capabilities in prototyping, but today the use of the technology in the carmaking industry is estimated at around $267 million. Things, however, are set to change, with this market increasing fivefold to $1.25 billion over the next four years, according to the 3D Printing Industry.

Although it's too early to talk about mass use of 3D printed component parts in vehicles, prototyping applications will continue to gain traction, and yes, 3D printed components will find their way into cars, though in concept models for now.

Ford has been using additive manufacturing for its prototypes for a couple of decades now and, according to company officials, it's per fect for prototyping, although the average build speed makes it inefficient for full-scale production. Still, Ford is experimenting and recently 3D printed the whole front end of a prototype F-150 truck.

3D Printing Market Leaders Not Worried About HP

Hewlett Packard entered the 3D printing sector with fanfare, showcasing a device using a proprietary technology, Multi Jet Fusion, which the company claims can print ten times faster than current speeds. According to observers, the move is proof that HP has taken seriously the potential of 3D printing. However, competitors are not worried yet. For starters, HP has not released a lot of details about its machine. Besides, it’s not planning to launch it on the market until next year, which implies there are still angles to smooth, perhaps. Yet, HP has the money and the brand awareness to rank among the leaders in 3D printing. Ironically, just three years ago HP ended a partnership with Stratasys, one of the biggest 3D printer makers currently, in the belief that the industry is not among its top priorities.

China Set on Becoming Biggest Regional Market for 3D Printers

China is ambitious to become the largest regional market for 3D printers, supporting plans by one of its biggest sector players, XYZprinting, to ship one million 3D printers across the world by 2018. Beijing’s plans are to overtake the US and Europe as regional sales hub even sooner, in 2016.

This year, XYZprinting eyes sales of 100,000 printers, with China accounting for a large portion of this number. With attractive prices, starting from 3,999 yuan ($640), the company is mostly eyeing the consumer sector. However, plans are to diversify into semi-professional 3D printers, attracting buyers from the industrial sphere. Its main competition is the large US 3D printer makers that have been recently putting a lot of effort into the household segment of the market. Overall, sales of 3D printers are seen to be at 2.3 million by 2018.

EuroMold 2014 Reveals Top Development Areas for 3D Printing

The EuroMold Show, the world's biggest 3D printing expo, which took place at the end of November in Germany has highlighted a number of areas where the technology will develop most actively this year. Here they are, according to industry expert Steve Heller.

First, prototyping will continue to be one of the main applications for the technology and its importance will only grow as new, improved materials are created. More and more companies are waking up to the fact that 3D printing allows them to bring new products to the market in much less time than with traditional prototyping.

Second, 3D printing applications in healthcare will also continue to grow. In Germany alone, there have already been 10 million dental crowns and bridges 3D-printed and put in patients' mouths. That's a significant number. Another branch of 3D printing for healthcare that will continue going strong is customized implants, which, Heller says, will continue to grow in popularity due to the convenience they offer and the speed with which they are created.

Thirdly, there's the education sector, where at this point raising awareness of the technology is the priority. Though there is growing awareness of 3D printing in business, the general public is far from the tech -- something that needs to change. One of the industries that are helping this change is art and fashion -- these provide much publicity to 3D printing, showcasing the possibilities inherent in the technology.

Another priority area in 3D printing is metal printing, which will be driven mainly by the aerospace industry, although there wasn't a big presence from this industry at EuroMold 2014.

3D Printing to Impact Consumer Product Safety

It has been repeatedly stated that 3D printing is set to turn the whole supply chain upside down, affecting basically every step of the production process. One aspect of this process is product safety. According to industry observers, the new manufacturing tech will have a twofold impact on this.

On the one hand, 3D printing enables much quicker prototyping and prototype refinement. As it will allow for more localized production, it will generally shorten the supply chain, allowing for stricter application of quality standards. Additionally, since one of the major benefits of 3D printing is the creation of customized products, this will also increase the safety of the output -- each item is made according to individual client specs.

On the other hand, however, 3D printing is a large playing field with new players entering it all the time. Not all of these are aware of quality standards and regulations, or willing to comply with them. Also, some could use hazardous or low-quality raw materials, resulting in dangerous or defective products. All in all, there are as many advantages as there are disadvantages when talking about 3D printing’s effect on product safety and quality.

3D Printing Will Make Digital Dentistry More Affordable

Stratasys is launching a new product that will make dental and orthodontic services more affordable. The Objet Eden260VS Dental Advantage 3D printer will allow dental labs to make more accurate tooth reproductions for veneers and dentures, for example. The machine can also make surgical guides and delivery trays. It’s compatible with Stratasys’ other dental

products, which are a series of three 3D printing materials. Stratasys has been focusing on the healthcare sector for a while now, seeing the huge potential 3D printing has to completely change the face of this industry.

3D Systems’ Cube 3 Is a Good Choice for Non-Professionals

3D System’s Cube 3 compact 3D printer is among the smallest devices in its niche on the market and is quite affordable, with a price tag of just $999. For this money, you can print any small object you like; but don’t try for larger jobs because the Cube 3 sometimes stops working halfway through the job. What’s more, unlike its direct competitors, such as XYZprinting’s Da Vinci 1.0, it has a dual extruder, which allows it to print with two colors simultaneously.

On the minus side, however, running costs tend to be high, because the printer works with the proprietary filament cartridges of 3D Systems, and these don’t come cheaply. Otherwise, it’s easy on the eye and doesn’t take much space, with dimensions of 13.2x13.5x9.5 inches and a weight of just 17 pounds or 7.7 kilos.

3D-Printed Chocolates, Anyone?

A Chinese company called Wolfson, has created a 3D printer that uses chocolate as filament. The company wil l be marketing a product l ine of personalized portraits in chocolate with the brand name of Euler’s Rose, set in a wrapping of cocoa paper. Though chocolate may seem an easy choice for 3D printing, reality is different because it needs to be heated to a very precise temperature, between 34 and 38 degrees Centigrade, otherwise it would become too runny to be able to form an image.

Startup Launches First Compact 3D Printer

A Singapore-based startup named Blacksmith Group has showcased the first compact 3D printer-and-scanner device in the world at the annual meeting of the American Association Advancement of Science.

The multifunctional device has a price tag of $2,200 and can scan objects, create a digitized model and then print it. It’s called the Blacksmith Genesis, it’s the size of an espresso machine and you don’t need in-depth computer design knowledge to work with it. You can either print a scanned object directly, or, once it’s scanned, manipulate it until you get the item you want. What’s more, you can control the process remotely, via a mobile device, thanks to a built-in 5 megapixel camera. Blacksmith Genesis also features Wi Fi connectivity, an integrated SD card reader, and USB connection.

The 3D printer was crowdfunded and the first supporter that helped the company raise $80,000 to build it will be able to order a device next month.

M&A Increases Investor Confidence in 3D Printing

The 3D printing industry had been growing very slowly over the first two decades of its existence but the last few years, especially the period since 2012, have seen a striking rate of development. Growth is projected to get even more intensive in the following few years, with the expiration of several major patents and the consequent entry into the market of many new players. However, individual investors such as venture capital firms and private equity funds are still reluctant to pour a lot of money into 3D printing companies. Still, confidence is growing as the sector has started consolidating.

3D Systems is by far the most active buyer in 3D printing, accounting for 70% of all acquisitions. It is likely, however, that smaller companies are merging without making it public. As for what the future holds in this respect, some financial experts believe that companies from other industries for which 3D printing has a growing appeal, will start buying into this market. These include giants like General Electric and Boeing, for example, as well as software producers and medical equipment and tool makers. For the majority of new entrants, however, crowdfunding will likely continue to be the major source of capital in the near term.

XYZprinting Ready to Take On 3D Systems

Chinese company XYZprinting seems ready to challenge the dominant positions of 3D Systems and Stratasys in the industry by offering a whole range of 3D printing solutions -- both for households and for industrial use. The company’s flagship product at the moment is the da Vinci 1.0 AiO 3D printer, which combines a printer with a scanner and sells for just $799. What’s more, XYZprinting has the financial resources to continue undercutting the rest of the 3D printer makers thanks to the support of Taiwanese manufacturing corporation, New Kinpo Group.

In an interview with Steve Heller about XYZprinting’s participation in the EuroMold expo last year, XYZ’s marketing director Gary Shu said the company was gearing up for a new line of printers this year, including their first non-FDM machine -- a stereolitography printer, which will probably cost half what these printers currently cost, which is around $5,000. XYZprinting will also be launching a new line of FDm printers plus its first lineup of industrial 3D printers. Shu added that in 2015 the company will showcase an even cheaper machine than the da Vinci but did not give any more details.

As for the challenges the company faces, Shu said that the main one is brand awareness, which the company is working on by taking part in industry expos like EuroMold. Also, he said, the 3D printing market is not developing as fast as the company had expected but things are still moving in the right direction.

German RepRap Upgrades PRotos Kit

3D printer maker German RepRap announced it has upgraded its PRotos 3D printing kit to a third version, featuring two modifications. One, the Base-kit, is consumer-oriented, and priced at 999 euro; while the second, the Full-kit, has wider capabilities than the Base-kit, including a heated bed of 12V, which allows for the use of different printing materials, dual extruders, an SD card reader, and a liquid crystal display.

Both upgraded printers feature a sturdy aluminum frame, a three-point mounted printing bed to make calibration of the objects to be printed much easier, and are very easy to assemble. They are already available to order on German RepRap’s website.

Italian Co Makes First 3D Printed Ski Boots

CRP Group, an Italian company, presented the first 3D printed ski boots at the 2015 ISPO in Munich, an expo that showcases the latest from outdoor, ski, action, performance sports, and textile trends. The boots are made from a proprietary polyamide material reinforced with carbon fiber -- Windform SP. Called EasyStand, the boots feature special insoles that are higher at the toes and lower at the heels, ensuring a better fit at the heels and more space in the front. This wider space in the front gives toes a wider berth for movement, protecting against freezing. What’s more, the insoles are adjustable in one of three positions, which change the height of the foot in the boot. The creation won the award for best product in the Ski category at the ISPO.

Shapeways Introduces Express 3D Printing Service

Shapeways has won a place as the best 3D printing consumer services provider but up unti l now it has had one major disadvantage: the service is slow, with some orders taking as long as 12 days because of the materials used. In a world where customers expect fast turnaround times, however, Shapeways has proven to be a company moving with the times. It is now launching an express service called “RUSH 2 & 3 Day production”. It will be offered for items to be printed with its White Strong & Flexible filament.

The service will be offered as a pilot program first, with customers encouraged to sign up. There will be size limitations: only object with a size of less than 150x150x200 mm will be approved. Also, orders will need to be placed before 8am EDT to qualify for the three-day service. Customers from North America, Australia and New Zealand are eligible for the rush service. The final consideration is the price. The rush service won’t come cheap. In fact, it will cost double the usual price that Shapeways charges for items printed with the White Strong & Flexible filament.

Be Wise When Investing in 3D Printing

Few things in the business world are certain, but one of them is that the 3D printing industry is set for huge growth over the next few years. One reason for this growth will be the expiry of key patents and the entry into the market of a lot of new players. It would be difficult to navigate this sea of 3D printing companies but some financial experts believe Stratasys will be the best bet among the “old” players.

For one thing, Stratasys has been reasonable with expansion through acquisitions, unlike sector player 3D Systems. It has only made two big ones -- of Object and Makerbot -- and each has made significant contributions to its product lineup. Now Stratasys is likely to focus more on research and development, for which it has set aside $460 million. That will ensure it keeps a competitive edge. The third reason why Stratasys is a good investment is that it has so far the most printers: 110,500 across the world. While the returns from the printers themselves are not so great, consumables are a high-margin product portfolio and these will be bringing good returns, which the company could then invest in R&D.

Epson Joins Forces with Print Audit on MPS

Epson recently announced a partnership with Print Audit, focused on managed print services. The printing solutions software provider has been granted certification for all of Epson’s WorkForce Pro product line, Epson America announced. Under the partnership, both Epson and Print Audit will be able to offer their customers managed print support services, lowering costs and improving productivity all around combining Epson’s printers with Print Audit’s Facilities Manager software platform.

OKI B412dn -- LED-powered and Compact

The OKI B412dn printer uses a technology similar to laser but based on LEDs, and makes for a good alternative to laser machines. The device is just 9.6 inches high, 15.2 inches wide and 14.3 inches long, so it doesn’t need much space. It has a standard 250-sheet paper tray plus a multipurpose one with a capacity for 100 sheets, and offers automatic double-sided printing. Average print speed stands at 35 pages per minute for monochrome, text pages. There are also modifications that offer two paper trays capable of holding as many as 880 sheets.

The OKI B412dn supports mobile printing -- in the cloud, and from iOS and Android devices -- and has USB and ethernet connectivity. Wi-fi is available at an additional cost of $75. as for print quality, tests have shown that it would suffice for most business uses, though at smaller fonts -- 8 and below -- print quality is not really optimal. Running costs have been estimated at $0.019 per page, which is much lower than for other printers in its price class. It retails for $199.

Epson’s WF-100 is a Good Compact Choice in Mobile Printers

All major printer makers offer mobile printers for people whose business is often conducted on the go and they need to print something outside the comfort of an office. Epson is, of course, no exception. It markets the WF-100, a mobile printer that, to begin with, is more compact, and thus easy to carry around than its direct competitors from Canon and HP.

Closed, the WF-100 stands 12.2’ across, 6’ from front to back, and 2.4’ high. When it is in use, its height grows to 8.5’ and length goes up to 9.1’ to account for the input and output trays. It is powered by a battery, so there’s no hassle with the wires. The device supports Wi-Fi connectivity, and is compatible with Wi-Fi Direct, Google Cloud Print, and Apple AirPrint, as well as Epson’s proprietary Epson Connect and Epson iPrint apps.

The capacity of the input tray is modest, at 20 sheets of paper or five sheets of photo paper, but you’re not expected to print out 100-page contracts on the go. Printing speeds are reasonable at 6.7 ppm for black-and-white, and 3.8 ppm for color prints on average. Cost per page is not so reasonable, however, at $0.08 for black-and-white and $0.16 for color. The price tag of the printer is also high: $349.99.

HP Leads LFP Market in 2014

HP was the market leader in large format printers last year, ahead of its four main competitors: Canon, Epson, Roland, and Ricoh. Total shipments of large format printers globally rose 3.5%, although revenues were slightly lower, by less than 1%. The bulk of the decline was attributable to the inkjet segment, where the bigger revenues come from consumables.

HP’s lead was a result of its robust performance in the technical market as well as its dominant position in the Latex segment. The number two, Canon, boasted a 20% market share with an overall strong performance, while Epson, which ranked third, had technical printers and dye-sublimation devices to thank for this. Number four was Roland, which grew in the eco-solvent printing market, as well as in the UV-curable and dye-sublimation segments. The last among the big ones, Ricoh, was strong in the large format toner-based printers, with a special focus on technical inkjets.

Canon Continues Focusing on Digital Cameras

Canon is one of the biggest imaging technology providers, but recently it has transpired that its main focus these days is on digital cameras, judging by its latest patent applications in the US. Besides cameras, Canon is also working on medical devices, as well as on augmented reality products.

One of these is a head-mounted 3D image display interface, and another is a method of mixed reality imaging, combining real and virtual images. In the medical department, Canon is t rue to imaging technologies. One of its latest patents here is for an ophthalmological diagnostic device -- a projection optical system. A separate new device is a pair of binoculars that have a built-in image-stabilizing function. Also in the field of medical devices, Canon is working on a technology aimed at making it easier for a doctor to come up with a diagnosis based on analyzing specific data.

Canon is also big in printers, to say the least, and it’s been working on some new things in this department as well. One is a self-cleaning printer and another is a new toner mixture that ensures a better-quality magenta. Also in the imaging department, Canon has developed an improved printing technology for the reproduction of copy forgery-inhibited patterns. The technology aims to prevent the unauthorized copying of sensitive content protected with an appropriate pattern. Lastly, the company is working on a so-called visual vocabulary that provides an analysis of images based on a set of characteristics.

In its main field of interest, digital cameras, Canon recently came up with an apparatus that can format a collection of stored images in a camera and organize them into an album. Another patent application deals with improved transmission of images from a digital camera. Yet another focuses on allowing more than one user to interact with images stored on one single camera.

Epson Diversifies into Mobile POS Solutions

At the beginning of February, Epson announced it had joined forces with US company Touch Dynamic for the development of point-of-sale solutions for shops and hotels. Earlier than that, it also showcased a range of POS solutions, including peripheral device control systems and tablet-based POS support solutions.

In this area, Epson has applied for two new patents in the US. One is for a method that adds marketing value to a printed receipt. The added value consists in bonus point coupons, company logos and adverts. The second patent application is for a double-sided receipt printer. What's new about this printer is that it prints on both sides of the paper without reversing the feed, thus avoiding jams, and also reduces paper waste in the form of white space.

But Epson is not just active in POS solutions, it's also researching and developing robotic products. One new patent application in this field is for a set of systems that can guide robots around obstacles and help them avoid clashes that can damage them. Another application features a robotic controller of a manufacturing robot, and yet a third focuses on making biological information detectors more accurate. In addition, Epson has developed an electronic wristwatch featuring a solar cell that powers the mechanism, and a new method for DNA testing.

Of course, the company has not ignored its printer business, as evidenced by another patent application for the improvement of ink recovery mechanisms. A couple of other applications deal with impact detection in portable and touch-sensitive ones to ensure the smooth function of the devices, and with the more economical use of expensive inks.

The Most Affordable Printer?

Pantum’s Newegg monochrome household printer may be one of the cheapest printers there is, even the cheapest, with a price tag of $29.99. Given the price, the device is quite well equipped and it is also wireless. The Newegg is very compact, at 7.1x13.3x8.7 inches, and features two paper trays, input and output, capable of holding 150 and 100 sheets, respectively. The toner cartridge has a capacity for some 700 pages, which is pretty good for household use, and after that replacement cartridges come in at $39.99. The printer is Wi-Fi enabled and even though this is not expressly stated, it most likely supports printing via Google Cloud Print and AirPrint.

Epson Showcases New Textile Printer Line

Epson has released a new fashion textile printer line, including the SureColorF7070 and the SureColor 6070, which would come in particularly handy for designers who are now making their first steps in the fashion world. The devices are innovative in that they allow you to print a certain design directly onto the fabric, and one of them, the SureColor7070, retails for just $9,000. The SureColor6070 is more expensive, though, at $20,000, but in exchange for the higher price, it is capable of printing a design directly onto a piece of apparel, such as a T-shirt, for example.

Epson is well on to something with this release, given that the world’s textile printing market is projected to reach 30 billion square meters by 2020, and that would be the result of innovations concerning the print speed, the efficiency of the process, and the design of the machines. Asia is the market leader in the industry, with growth there seen at a compound annual rate of 4% thru 2020.

Epson Launches ITS Printers in UAE

Epson recently showcased its ink-tank-system product line in the United Arab Emirates to promote the system, which is considered a better alternative to ink cartridges. According to the company, ITS printers provide greater reliability and productivity at lower cost and with much less hassle than changing an ink cartridge involves. The tanks, says Epson’s Middle East manager Khalil El-Dalu, can support 4,000 pages in monochrome, and 6,500 in color.

Among the models that feature the ink tank system are L1300, L1800, L850, L810, and L120. The first two are suitable for users who have to print a lot on a daily basis, offering them, along with the aforementioned benefits, much shorter downtime, since refilling the ink tanks is a quick job. The L850 and L810 are aimed at photographers, offering good photo print quality and quickly. The last model in the lineup is for household use, perfect for students and small businesses too.

covered at the end of this article.

It’s been a while since we have covered monochrome printing theory especially on the faster printers so we are covering it here. Knowing the theory is very helpful if you run into a print issue and need to troubleshoot what happening. When you know what each part does and when, you can narrow the issue down much quicker.

Cartridge TheoryFigures 9 and 9A show how the various circuits, signals and motors come out of the printer and what they connect to in the cartridge.

The image formation process consists of 8 steps which are split up into five functional blocks. See Figure 10

In the first step, the Primary Charge roller (PCR) places a uniform negative DC Bias voltage on the OPC drum surface.

The amount of the negative DC Bias placed on the drum is controlled by the printer’s intensity setting. This process sets the drum for the laser. See Figure 11

In the second step, two laser beams are fired onto a rotating mirror (called the scanner). As the mirror rotates, the beam reflects into a set of focusing lens. The beam then strikes the OPC’s surface, which neutralizes the negative charge and leaves a latent electrostatic image on the drum. Two beams are used for faster printing. See Figures 12 & 12A

The third step (developing block) is where the toner image is developed on the drum by the developing section, (or supply chamber), which contains the toner particles. The toner is held to the magnetic roller sleeve by the stationary magnet inside the sleeve, and a DC bias voltage supplied by the high voltage power supply. This DC bias voltage is controlled by the printer’s density setting, and causes either more or less toner to be attracted to the drum. This in turn will either increase or decrease the print density. Both the Primary Charge roller and magnetic roller DC Bias voltages are controlled by the printer’s density setting. The amount of toner on the magnetic roller sleeve is also controlled by the rubber Doctor blade, which uses pressure to keep the amount of toner on the magnetic roller sleeve constant. This blade also causes a static charge to build up on the toner, which helps keep the coating of toner

even, and allows easy transfer to the OPC drum.

There is a lot going on here and you can see where print density issues can be caused by more than one part or setting. See Figure 13

As the laser exposed areas of the OPC drum approach the magnetic roller, the toner particles are attracted to the drums surface due to the opposite voltage potentials of the toner, and laser exposed surface of the OPC drum. See Figure 14

In the fourth step the toner image is then transferred to the paper as it passes below the drum by the transfer charge roller, which places a positive charge on the back of the paper. This positive charge causes the negatively charged toner on the drum’s surface to be attracted to the page. The small diameter of the drum, combined with

the stiffness of the paper causes the paper to peel away from the drum. See Figure 15

In the fifth step the paper separates from the drum. The static charge eliminator weakens the attractive forces between the negatively charged drum surface, and the positively charged paper. This prevents toner dropouts onto the paper at low temperatures and humidity and also prevents paper from wrapping around the drum. See Figure 16

In the Sixth step the image is then fused on to the paper by the fuser assembly, which is comprised of the upper fixing film assembly and the lower fuser roller. The paper passes between a heated upper fixing film assembly and a soft lower rubber roller. The upper heated element then melts the toner into the paper. The fixing film assembly consists of a Teflon sleeve with a ceramic heating element inside. These fusers are a bit different in that they have a Brush which has a DC Bias charge on it to help keep the film clean. See Figure 17

In the Seventh step the OPC drum is cleaned. On average, approximately 95% of the toner is transferred to the paper during the print cycle. As the drum rotates dur ing pr int ing, the remaining 5% of the toner that is on the OPC drum is cleaned off the drum by the wiper blade. It is then guided into

the waste chamber by the recovery b l a d e , a n d s t o r e d i n t h e w a s t e chamber. See Figure 18

Step 8 is where the residual charge is eliminated. An AC signal is placed on the PCR which eliminates any residual charges from the drum and prepares the drum to be charged. (Also by the PCR). The AC erase and DC charge voltages are applied to the drum almost simultaneously. See Figure 19

13) Remove the wiper blade from the cartridge, and clean out the waste toner. See Figure 31

1 4 ) D u e t o t h e h i g h s p e e d a n d page counts of these cartridges, we recommend that the wiper blades be replaced. Make sure that the wiper blade foam seals are clean. See Figure 32

15) Install the new wiper blade and two screws. See Figure 33

16) Clean the PCR with your standard PCR cleaner.

17) 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! See Figure 34

18) On the drum axle pin, clean off the old conductive grease and replace

with new. See Figure 35

19) Install the drum small gear side first onto the drum axle pin. See Figure 36

20) Install the white plastic drum bushing and screw. If the OEM drum grease is dirty, clean it off with alcohol, and replace with white lithium grease. See Figure 37

21) On the supply chamber, carefully pry off the Magnetic roller (MRS) cover, and remove. See Figure 38

24) Remove the MRS assembly. See Figure 42

25) Remove the two Dr. Blade screws and the DR. Blade. Note the clear plastic strip that covers the DB screws Slide the screwdriver under the strip. Be careful not to damage the strip! See Figures 43 & 44

26) Remove the fill plug and clean out all the remaining toner in the supply hopper. See Figure 45

27) Note the magnetic seals on the MRS and the DB sealing foam. Make sure both are clean. See Figure 46

28) Note also the new heavy duty style magnetic roller contact. This when combined with the new larger diameter of the roller, allow the cartridge to run at the higher speeds that these machines

are capable of. See Figure 47

29) There are magnetic roller bushings on each side of the roller. While these are holding up well in our initial tests, this may be an area where wear will cause banding. One will stay in the hopper, and one comes off with the mag. Roller assembly. See Figures 48 & 49

30) These cartridges just use one large mixing blade inside the toner hopper, make sure it turns freely after cleaning or you will get invalid cartridge errors, motor errors or paper jams. See Figure 50

31) 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 wil l be destroyed. The foam isolates the mag roller from the vibrations of the mixing augers, and allows smoother prints.

32) Install the doctor blade and two screws (Make sure that the clear strips are not damaged!) See Figure 51

33) Install the MRS assembly. Make sure the clear strips from the DB ride on top

兰克福文具及耗材展在德国法兰克福举行,亚洲再生业 RechargeAsia

团队全程参加了本次展会。在展会期间,亚洲再生业与当地办公耗材

行业内人士作了深入交流,走访了多家客户企业,参观了展会上多个

展商的展位,借参展机会获取了不少最新行业动态信息。

中国展商遭盘查

本次展会是在国际原装厂商加大对侵权行为打击,中国企业竞争

压力加剧的背景之下举行的。在展会现场,仅有 74 家中国企业参展,

数量明显少于去年,而来自欧洲本土的再生厂商则有所增加。

本次展览会上,佳能、三星、惠普等巨头原装厂商的代理带着专

业律师和德国海关的工作人员,有针对性地对中国参展企业进行盘查,

盘查的重点就是争议性产品。一旦发现有争议性的产品,德国海关就

会直接给参展商开出警告单。有数家企业还被判缴纳 500 至 2000 欧元

不等的保证金,若企业不缴纳保证金,就要面临法律诉讼的风险。缴

纳的保证金一般不会退还。

因此,我们在此特别提醒各位参展商,参加欧洲的展

览会一定不要展出有争议或侵权嫌疑的产品。在知识产权

越来越受重视的今天,中国制造只有在尊重原装厂家专利

技术的前提下,提升产品品质,增强品牌运作能力,才能

在激烈的市场竞争中占有一席之地 !

新产品 新创意

本次展览会,部分企业推出了新的产品:日本的

CBC 公司联合其在欧洲的分公司推出白色墨粉及彩光技

术,引起多方关注;Remanexpo 的主办方 Recycler 杂志

在展览现场举办市场和技术知识讲座,吸引了不少欧美买

家聆听;拥有号称世界上“最贵的墨水”的德国 OCP 公司,

延续往年风格,在展位上推出边喝啤酒边谈业务的模式,

具有典型的西方特色;Peach、天威等公司推出 3D 打印

产品,吸引眼球。

土耳其展会

土耳其文具办公协会在这次 Paperworld 文具展区

有一个展位,主要推介其在 4 月 1 日至 5 日主办的土

耳其文具及办公耗材方面的展览会。该展览会的英文名

一、协会助推行业发展

2014 年多家办公耗材行业协会在各区域组织了不同形

式的信息交流会,还参与了多项技术标准制订,对规范行业

发展起到了积极作用。

{ 修订喷墨打印墨水行业标准 } 以辽宁精化科技有限公

司等企业为代表的行标起草单位对 2004 年发布的《喷墨打

印机用墨水》行业标准进行了修订,修订版由工业和信息化

部于 2013 年 12 月 31 日发布,于 2014 年 7 月 1 日起实施。

与此同时还发布了《水基喷绘墨水》等 5 项新行业标准。

{ 全国纺织喷墨墨水行业标准启动 } 6 月 10 日至 11 日,

全国纺织喷墨墨水行业标准启动会议在郑州光华大酒店举

行。本次会议由全国油墨标准化委员会主办,郑州鸿盛数码

科技有限公司协办。来自全国的,曾参与了本次标准制订的

墨水及染料生产企业、耗材权威检测机构以及近 20 位行业

知名专家参加了会议。

{ 喷墨及特种墨印刷分会成立 } 7 月 11 日,中国印刷及

设备器材工业协会喷墨及特种墨印刷分会第二次会员代表大

会暨二届一次理事会在北京东方饭店召开。参与会议的有全

国喷墨及特种墨印刷产业链内 50 多家生产经营、科研开发

单位派出的代表,以及来自各个大专院校和检测机构的 100

多位专家代表。

会议同期还举行了首届喷墨及特种墨论坛,各位专家代

表就喷墨及特种墨产品行情和现状、喷墨印刷时代的发展机

遇、3D 打印技术与印刷、互联网时代的经营模式等主题进

行了深刻的演讲和探讨,为喷墨及特种墨的发展指明了方向。

{ 信息交流会 }11 月 28 日,中国计算机行业协会耗材专

委会 2014 年会员大会暨行业信息交流会在珠海银都(嘉柏)

酒店东方厅隆重举行,近百位打印耗材行业内人士出席会议。

二、新技术 新看点

2014 年喷墨技术有很大的发展和改进,在空中客车、

数码印刷、染料墨水、医用胶片、环保胶片等多方面都有突

出的业绩。

{ 大型直接喷墨技术 } 2014 年上半年,空中客车公司推

出了一项新的飞机喷漆解决方案,让喷涂面积大、结构复杂

的飞机变得更加容易和高效。

新方案采用直接喷墨(direct inkjet printing)技术,极

大地改进了工作方式,提高了生产效率。空客公司位于德国

汉堡的 A320 系列飞机喷漆工厂的工程师们研发了这种技术。

该技术可以用于喷涂任何涂装设计——不论是摄影作品、现

代艺术作品,还是其他复杂的图形,都比传统的喷漆过程更

迅速、高效、精细。直接喷墨技术的原理与传统的喷墨打印

机很相似,使用带有喷嘴的喷墨头,在飞机部件表面喷洒三

原色(蓝绿、品红、黄色)和黑色。喷墨头在 7 平方米的工

作台上自上而下逐行喷绘出图案。喷绘完成后,飞机部件表

面将会被密封上一层透明保护层。

空客十分看好直接喷墨技术的商业前景。传统喷漆中图

案需要一层一层地建立,直接喷墨技术则完全不需要分层,

大大减少了工作步骤,极大地节约了工作时间。此外,直接

喷墨技术的喷涂过程中不会出现过量喷涂或油墨蒸汽,有利

于维护良好的工作环境和工作人员的身体健康。

目前直接喷墨技术仍处于实验阶段,尚需对其进行进一

步验证。

{ 爱普生携手弓喜网络 “环保安全”产品引领数码印花

新趋势 }2014 年爱普生推出了幅宽 64 英寸的 SC-F7080 数

码印花机,还推出了幅宽 44 英寸的 SC-F6080 数码印花机。

针对该产品的环保性,杭州弓喜网络科技有限公司的俞经理

强调:" 对于婴幼儿产品来说,环保性绝对是最重要的一个

因素。当初公司选购爱普生的数码印花机 SC-F7080 时,主

要就是看中了它极佳的环保性,其使用的‘活的色彩 DS’

热转印墨水制作的服装拥有出色的安全性保证,并已经通过

Oeko-TexStandard100 标准认证的第一级别(根据该标准

的描述,除皮制衣物外,一切用来制作婴儿及两岁以下儿童

服装的纺织物、原材料和附件都属于第一级别认证范围内)。

产品拥有 Oeko-Tex 认证不仅给我的用户提供了产品生态安

全的保证,还可以有效规避欧美国家的贸易壁垒,从而促进

了我们公司开拓国外市场。"

{ 耐晒性染料墨水的需求越来越迫切 } 在 2014 年第 27

届上海国际婚纱摄影器材展上 , 诺日士、富士、Epson 等厂

商大力推广对干式影像扩印机市场,再次带动了耐晒性染料

墨水的市场需求。在珠海举办的打印耗材专委会年会上,很

多公司也再次提起耐晒性染料墨水的话题,深圳市汇美数码

影像有限公司总经理祝乾松在大会上表态:除了桌面打印领

域,业内人士兴许可将目光投向其它打印领域,例如高速商

务喷墨相片打印。他预计,未来相片打印将全部采用染料墨

水,而当下国内所需染料墨水主要依赖进口。

{ 医用干式影像胶片,环保胶片打破国外垄断 } 深圳市

巨鼎医疗设备有限公司开发了全球首款非银盐新型高清医用

胶片。新型环保干式影像胶片通过医用喷墨打印机打印,应

用于各种医疗诊断和治疗中的诊疗结果发布媒介,包括检验、

多企业营销推广的标准配置。

目前微信打印机的价值已经获得了

许多商家和企业的认可,尤其在房地产、

汽车 4S 店、连锁专卖店、连锁餐饮、景

区、展会等行业均取得不错的成绩,正

向越来越多的行业扩展,市场需求呈稳

步增长态势。而微信打印机生产厂家却

总体呈现:杂、乱、投机的现象或特点,

大致可分为以下几类:

1、行业专家:印美图、LOMO 时光

这类企业专注于微信打印机的研发、

生产、销售,是行业的开创者,也是行

业的领跑者。此类企业具备较强的研发

能力,能在产品本身(特别是软件系统)

形成绝对的差异化,并且扎根于微信打

印机市场,谋求行业长期的健康发展,

注重质量、服务、体验、口碑,践行自

身微信打印专家的品牌定位。此类公司

产品价格略高于同行,但性价比至高无

比,成为知名企业的微信打印机指定供

应商。

2、游戏机转型:以广州番禺游戏机

公司为主

受制于国家政策管控,游戏机行业

(赌博)受到巨大冲击,大部分游戏机

公司都在谋求转型。在转型之际,关注

到了微信打印机这个新品类,所以很多

游戏机公司都以游戏机运营的方式来运

作微信打印机,综合表现为以下几个特

征:

产品东拼西凑:仿照领先品牌,以

最低的成本直接购买元件、软件、外壳,

拼出一款完整的产品,甚至对自身产品

并不了解,也没有任何管理、维护和升

级的能力。

打价格战:打价格战要建立在低成

本的基础上,番禺的厂家较为明显。因

为整体销量并不高,所以只能采取牺牲

品质的方法来压缩成本,用投机的方式

进行价格竞争,吸引价格敏感型客户。

不具备运营能力:微信打印机与游

戏机有很大的差异,运营方法自然也不

同。一个完善的运营体系应该包括:研

发中心、生产中心、客服中心、市场中

2015 年 3 月 总第 131 期

心、销售中心。例如,番禺大部分厂家

只具备生产能力和销售能力,最影响客

户体验的其他支持体系大部分欠缺健全。

通过实地走访了解获知,在番禺有众多

的作坊式公司(公司只有一两个人)销

售微信打印机,以网络销售是主要渠道,

价格竞争上具有优势,所以会吸引有不

少贪便宜的客户,购买之后产品出问题

缺得不到解决。

缺乏诚信:每个品牌都会说自家最

好,这可以理解,但如果太过失真就会

变成了虚假宣传,甚至是商业欺诈。通

过对番禺部分厂家的真实了解后发现,

他们的官网和宣传资料不免有一些震惊。

首先是抄袭较为严重,文案、图片、案

例直接拿过来用,甚至有些还没有将“印

美图”、“LOMO 时光机”的标志 P 掉。

再次是乱承诺,当诚信变得一文不值的

时候,承诺是可以信口开河的。如番禺

某品牌今天在大力发展代理商,做出各

种承诺,收了代理费后明天就将代理取

消,做网络直销,网络直销遇到困难,

又在策划偷换一个品牌继续发展代理商。

类似这种事情很多,客户永远是善良的,

不了解行业的深水。这些经营行为严重

影响了客户的体验和口碑,不利于行业

持续发展。在这个信息高度对称和透明

的时代,我们有能力以中性、客观的视

角还原行业的真相,帮助客户更好的做

出选择。

3、广告机公司:广告机公司增加微

信打印机这一品类,主要是为了丰富产

品线。

此类公司做法与上述游戏机公司类

似,产品以相同的方式组合。不过广告

机公司的硬件能力更强,相对来说更能

确保硬件品质,也更注重企业信誉。传

统广告机公司目标客户主要是传媒公司

和政府机关,并不擅长于企业市场的拓

展。同时此类公司本身有较丰富的产品

体系,不会将资源或主力投入到微信打

印机,所以传统广告机公司处于微信打

印机行业的边缘,并没有形成较大的影

响。

4、微信开发第三方:此类公司绝大

多数都是与微信打印机品牌合作,贴牌

销售。

严格意义上而言,微信第三方公司

更像是微信打印机厂家的销售渠道。微

信第三方公司的重心是微信软件,微信

硬件只是为了丰富产品线,满足代理商

的需求。此类公司不会投入太多资源推

广微信打印机,只是利用现成的客户资

源做转化,以很低的成本获得额外收益,

并且提升代理商和客户的体验。客户在

微信第三方公司购买微信打印机,普遍

价格较高、售后服务容易出现扯皮现象

(微信第三方公司与微信打印机公司关

于售后服务的权益定义不清晰)。

5、其他投资者:认可微信打印机的

商业前景,想刮分其市场利润。

这类的投资者情况较复杂,就总体

而言此类公司市场影响力较弱。这部分

投资者很多原本是微信打印机品牌的代

理商,在了解了较多的行业信息后,不

做代理商转而找工厂代工运作自己的品

牌,通过这种改变,能获得一定的成本

优势,但需要投入更多的资金、资源、

人力去弥补品牌弱势、市场弱势、产品

弱势。这部分投资者在 2014 年前半年多

半是盈利的,后半年随着市场的巨大变

化,逐步被淘汰,市场影响力越来越弱。

反而优质微信打印机品牌的代理商能够

在总部的支持下,共同努力,做深做透

当地市场,获得了不错的收益。

预测:行业市场未来七大走势

1、企业市场需求呈稳步增长态势,

市场渗透率将进一步扩大,将成为众多

企业营销推广的标准配置。目前市场容

量还有很大的潜力可挖掘,还有大量的

空白行业、空白区域没有被开发(一线

城市还未饱和、大量的二三线城市潜力

巨大),而市场需求真实存在,所以后

劲十足。

2、 微 信 打 印 机 凭 借 互 动 娱 乐

(300043, 股吧 ) 功能,将成为众多活动

聚拢人气的重要工具。在很多的展会、

营销活动、户外活动现场和婚礼现场等

都将看到微信打印机的身影。

3、行业逐步走向成熟,市场份额将

呈现中心化分布,行业前 3 名将获得超

过 50% 的市场份额。

4、市场价格将整体小幅下降,并趋

向于稳定。

5、口碑传播、信息对称将赋予客户

更强的能力去做出正确的决策。微信打

印机品牌或将面临洗牌,没有核心竞争

力的品牌,在竞争中会被边缘化或淘汰,

关怀整体用户体验的品牌将获得客户信

赖,并从竞争中胜出。

6、用户心理变化:用户将从价格导

向向价值导向转变,选择品质好、服务佳、

价格合理的品牌。用户心理的变化和机

器的特殊性将导致渠道模式变化,互联

网直销方式将无法获得客户信赖,代理

商在当地的服务能力将成为客户购买决

策的重要考虑因素。购买前能深入体验

产品、购买后有代理商售后保障的服务

模式更符合客户的需求,虽然购买价格

略高,但可以获得充分的保障。

7、传媒领域将成为微信打印机新的

应用市场。微信打印机的自助问题将得

到有效解决(自动换纸),并且会以互

动广告机的定位用于传媒公司的广告运

营。其形式会有两种:其一是微信打印

机作为完整的产品,用于传媒运作;其

二是与其他互动功能相结合(如打印门

票、优惠券、店内导航等),打造多功

能互动广告机。微信打印机有机会成为

互联网新媒体终端的重要载体。

Will Digital Printing Beat Traditional Printing?

数码印刷将吞食传统印刷?

传统工艺数字化改造是关键

社会需要有不同的生产手段来满足

各种印刷需求,正因如此,虽然胶印占

据着市场最大份额,但柔版、凹版、丝

网等印刷工艺都在某方面施展着优势,

依然有生存空间。数码印刷的出现固然

加剧了不同印刷工艺间的竞争,但绝不

会因此而导致其他印刷工艺的绝迹,它

们之间是此消彼长的关系,是补充而不

是替代关系。

传统胶印的优势在于还原准确、色

彩鲜艳、层次清晰。因为技术成熟、设

备规格齐全,胶印从不同幅面的平版印

刷机到高速商业轮转印刷机,应有尽有,

足以满足各类产品的生产要求,加之版

材的耐印率高,承印数量大的产品单位

成本较低。传统胶印设备大量使用电脑

软件后更是如虎添翼,生产精度更高、

消耗更少,印版调试的时间也更短。适

合胶版印刷的产品众多,从书刊印刷到

商业印刷、包装印刷无所不能。上述种

种优势的存在,使得胶版印刷在相当长

一段时间里始终是印刷市场的主角。

但胶版印刷的不足也日益体现。首

先是印版冲洗过程中产生的废水需要回

收处理,含酒精的润版液不适宜直接排

放,使用量颇大的油墨对环境存在重金

属污染……所有这一切都是基于人类越

来越重视对生存环境的保护,逐步归结

到绿色印刷的理念。其次是产能大于市

场需求,这是中国印刷业快速发展后带

来的一个必然问题,全球性经济危机的

爆发、印刷市场业务的趋淡将这一问题

凸显出来。最后是互联网应用的普及、

图书印量越来越少、海外加工业务量的

减少,大部分企业转型升级的工作还没

有完成,依然陷在低工价竞争业务的漩

涡里。

基于以上原因,大部分印刷企业面

临发展困境,急需寻找新的经济增长点,

这也成为我国印刷企业全面梳理结构、

产业升级改革的难得契机。

虽然传统出版印刷业在相当长时期

内依然会存在、发展,但重中之重是要

进行数字化改造和提升,进行内容和形

式的创新,以提升自身影响力。因此,

进行数字化转型和探索高新印刷技术是

传统印刷业生存发展的关键,需要认真

研究和分析当今的印刷市场,根据企业

特色重新进行战略定位,调整产品结构,

扬长避短,赢得更大发展。

数码印刷因短版而生

近几年,印刷市场发生着巨大变化,

图书印量越来越少,而图书印制的周期

却越来越短,这种变化促使出版行业采

用数码印刷技术实现按需印刷成为可能;

在防伪印刷中,有许多印刷品需要采用

二维码之类的可变数据方式来实现,而

可变数据必须采用数码印刷机来完成,

数码印刷在防伪印刷中有很大的市场潜

力;短版印刷、个性化印刷、可变数据

印刷在商业印刷中占据越来越大的比例,

菜谱、展览样品、账单、保单、个性化

直邮等业务非常适合采用数码印刷机进

行印刷,所以数码印刷在短版、超短版

商业印刷中有很大市场。

数码印刷不但擅长做短版业务,更

重要的是突破了传统印刷低成本、工业

化生产的限制,从业者从而获得巨大的

市场与赢利空间。同时,数码印刷减少

了传统印刷繁琐的制版、上版、套印、

套色等环节,节省了 PS 版、纸张放数、

导语

在经济全球化背景下,印刷产业发展向绿色、服务、高效、数字化、智能化方向发展,新产品、新技术、新的服务范畴、新的商业形式不时涌现,这些变化不断冲击着传统印刷产业。大数据时期,印刷行业必须从传统中剥离出来,走上高科技与创新之路。

未来传统印刷市场与新兴印刷市场会如何变化?传统印刷是否会被取代?传统印刷如何进行技术改造?特别是传统印刷如何和数码印刷有机融合?如上问题是当前印刷企业普遍关注的问题。

润版液及清洗液等耗材,提高 5 倍以上

的生产效率,提高了产品质量,满足了

信息时代的商务需求。

数码印刷虽然具有单张起印、立等

可取等优势,但同时它也具有很多劣势。

在大量印刷时,传统胶印所用的费用明

显比数码印刷低;正背套印不够精确,

还会经常出现色彩漂移;平网、渐变网

表现欠佳;纸张适应性差,需使用专门

指定规格、种类的纸张,纸张的最大尺

寸为 320 毫米 ×480 毫米等。

数码印刷让传统印刷迸发新活力

传统印刷企业具备进入数字领域的

优势,其往往多在一定区域或者行业中

有多年的客户资源积累;在印前、印中、

印后等有丰富的技术经验;有成熟的色

彩管理经验,有专业的销售团队,了解

印刷工艺和报价,有丰富的管理经验。

这一切优势,在数码印刷引入后,将可

以更加丰富地发挥其现有价值,迸发新

的活力,从而获取更高的利润。在当前

大数据时代,还要充分运用互联网和信

息技术,通过网络把企业的技术创新成

果、新产品或者行业动向向社会大众传

播,同时企业又能收到来自大众的意见

反馈,形成对技术开发和产品设计的指

导,甚至可以让客户亲身参与到产品设

计中来,这样能够使企业少走弯路、节

约成本、提升市场竞争力。另外,数码

印刷的产品也可以挖掘产品的媒体属性,

让用户参与最终产品的设计,将互动、

按需、传播的理念引入数码印刷业的商

业模式中。

数码印刷概念初起之时,遭遇了传

统印刷人的警觉和排斥,“取代论”带

来的恐慌曾经一度在印刷界弥漫。随着

人们对数码印刷的技术特点、业务模式、

质量呈现、成本构成等有了更全面的认

识,对其业务定位似乎也找到了相对合

适的位置,“补充论”替代了“取代论”,

为数码印刷留出了理性的成长空间;短

版印刷、可变数据印刷等,使数码印刷

成为传统印刷的有益补充。

企业为何做不长?在变化莫测的市场经济浪潮之下,有无数的企业

想把握机会成为时代的弄潮儿,但是实际上却有无数

的企业朝不保夕,最终成为时代的淘沙。

为何这些企业不能长久?它们与成功之间有多少

差距?它们也许只是缺少系统精确的生产管理理论。

精艺生产十四大管理原则:

1 管理决策以长期理念为基础,即使因此牺牲短期

财务目标也在所不惜。

2 建立连续的作业流程以使问题浮现。

3 使用拉动式生产方式以避免生产过剩。

4 使工作负荷平均 ( 生产均衡化 ),工作应该像龟

兔赛跑中的乌龟一样。

5 建立立即暂停以解决问题,从一开始就重视质量

控制的文化。

6 工作的标准化是持续改善与授权员工的基础。

7 通过可视化管理使问题无所隐藏。

8 使用可靠且已经充分测试的技术以协助员工及生

产流程。

9 培养深谙公司理念的领袖,使他们能教导其他员

工。

10 培养与发展信奉公司理念的杰出人才与团队。

11 重视合作伙伴与供应商,激励并助其改进。

12 亲临现场实际查看,以彻底了解情况。

13 不要匆匆做出决策,以共识为基础,彻底考虑

所有可行方案,快速执行决策。

14 通过不断反思与持续改进转变成学习型组织。

Solutions to Chinese Printing Industry by Li Keqiang

李克强为中国印刷业开救命良方

近日,一年一度的世界经济论坛在复杂的背景下启幕,中国总

理李克强在瑞士达沃斯向全世界 2500 位精英发表演讲,阐述全球

新局势下的“中国方案”,作为唯一在此次大会开幕式上发表特别

致辞的外国领导人,“中国方案”备受瞩目。论坛创始人施瓦布将

2015 年称为决定世界命运的一年,迷失的世界急切需要找到往前走

的方向。李克强则在致辞时巧妙比喻:我们需要新的盘尼西林来应

对国际局势的新的挑战。

相对于印刷行业而言,李克强在达沃斯贡献的“中国方案”有

多少能深入到印包产业的经济发展节奏中去?

李克强表示,当前,中国经济进入新常态,经济由高速增长转

为中高速增长。发展则必须由中低端水平迈向中高端水平,为此要

坚定不移的推动结构性改革。现在中国经济规模已居世界第二,基

数增大,即使是每年 7% 的增长,年度的限价增量也要达到 8000 多

亿美元。比五年前增长 10% 的数量还要大。

虽然 2014 年中国经济的整体趋势呈现一种并不明朗的趋势,

但是相对于印刷业而言,并没有体现出下滑。前不久,新闻出版广

电总局组织了对“十二五”规划实施情况的中期评估工作。从评估

情况看,印刷业规划的主要指标基本符合产业发展实际,总体情况

是好的,中国印刷业相对过剩的问题已有所缓解,有进有出、优胜

劣汰的机制基本形成。但在个别分类指标中也存在偏差,需要调整

并加强分类指导。一是充分发挥国家印刷示范企业的引领辐射作用。

通过政策项目引导,做大做强示范企业,做专做优特色中小企业。

二是继续扩大对外开放。三是引导数字印刷发展,优化产能布局。

“李克强向世界解释中国经济转型”,德国财经网 21 日表示,

从“奇迹”到“新常态”时代,中国正在进行经济再平衡。中国旧

的增长模式正在离去,一个新的中国经济正在崛起并更多地依靠创

新、服务和国内消费,世界需要重新定义中国经济。

所以说,在中国经济转型的引领下,随着行业转型升级步伐向

前推进,转型创新更是全国企业保稳定、求发展的关键。近年来,

由于我国产能发展速度过快,行业内部技术创新能力不足,产业格

局的不合理等制约了行业的持续发展空间,加上行业原有产能过渡

增长,新产品不断涌入市场,部分产品成了阶段性的产能过剩,造

成市场消化能力有限,阻碍了市场的消费能力。从表面看,一些企

业在生产过程中不断调整产业结构,赢得了一定的市场,但实际上

效果并不明显。部分新型的产业如雨后春笋般地快速形成,面对这

样一种新的态势,各印包企业也在作出新的思考、新的选择,寻求

新的发展,走产业链延伸的多元化发展之路。

Chinese Can Develop 3D Printing as Market Grows Like Mad

66 www.rechargeasia.comwww.rechargeasia.com

3D 打印技术是近两年全球制造业中的一个热门话题。根

据市场研究机构 Statista 的统计预测,到 2013 年底,全球 3D

打印市场的整体规模约为 22 亿欧元 ( 约 30 亿美元 ),2018 年

全球 3D 打印市场的规模将达到 45 亿欧元 ( 约 61 亿美元 ),到

2023 年则继续上升至 77 亿欧元 ( 约 105 亿美元 )。实际上,

3D 打印技术的正式名称为增材制造,它基于数字化三维 CAD

设计数据,使用塑料和金属粉末等作为原材料来生产各种零件

模型。

3D 打印所采用的制造技术和原材料多种多样,从目前的市

场应用情况来看,FDM 型 ( 熔融层积 )3D 打印机是市场的主流,

这种打印机在 2D 打印机的基础上加入了 Z 轴的概念,使用可

热熔固态耗材成形完成 3D 塑形,耗材与整机的售价都较低,

但同时也存在耗材热稳定性不足、打印精度不高的缺点。除此

之外,SLA 型光固化 3D 打印机通过激光将光敏树脂液体耗材

固化,规避了原有的固体耗材热胀冷缩的问题,大幅提升了打

印精度,因而成为许多厂商开发的重点之一。而在高端工业级

3D 打印应用中,近年来 SLS 金属激光烧结 3D 打印技术也取得

了迅猛的发展。

商业应用仍占主流

以 3D 打印技术制造产品原型一直都是该技术自发展以来

最重要的用途,它能够让使用单位在研发阶段降低或缓和因产

品设计、造型和功能等因素所带来的风险,还能支持新的制造

流程,缩短产品研发周期。

例如在模具制造业中,Stratasys 公司的 3D 打印解决方案

被运用在车载应用供水与供暖系统制造商 Whale 公司的加工

制造过程中,成功将原型部件注塑模具工具的交付周期缩短了

97% 左右。Whale 公司 3D 技术服务部负责人 JimSargent 表示,

公司现在使用 Objet350Connex 多材料 3D 打印机,在 24 小时

内就能打印出 3D 注塑模具工具,且只需花费制造金属工具成

本的一小部分。“过去,我们生产金属工具的交付周期为 4—5

周,且生产成本十分高昂;现在,凭借 3D 打印机,可以在白

天完成工具的设计,夜间进行 3D 打印,次日早晨利用一系列

最终产品材料对其进行测试。这一全新的加工方法显著节省了

我们的时间和成本。”

利用 3D 打印技术制造医疗器材是另一个令人振奋的发展

方向。以较为成熟的齿科应用为例,3D 打印技术运用计算机辅

助设计 (CAD) 文件数据,为每位患者逐层创建出专用的塑料制

品,满足了定制化、以及大批量生产这两项要求,并且协助提

升了手术的精准度,因此在牙科治疗和美容手术中受到了欢迎。

另外,在骨科应用中,3D 打印技术同样也能够以优良的单位成

本优势实现定制化生产骨科植入物或其它医疗器械的目标。

对于大众消费类市场而言,尽管有关机构表示,由于生产

技术和产品价格等因素,3D 打印技术在这一领域中仍需 5 到

10 年才能达到成熟期,但一些行业领导企业已经开始积极布

局这一市场。在 3DSystems 近期公布的 2014 下半年战略重点

中,其中之一就是继续拓展 3D 打印产品与技术的消费级应用,

例如通过与消费领域的领先企业如:好时 (Hershey)、孩之宝

(Hasbro)、史泰博 (Staples) 和美泰 (Mattel) 等公司联手,进一

步推动消费级 3D 打印市场的容量。此外,据称,3DSystems

将于今年秋天在洛杉矶推出世界上第一家数字面包店,该面包

店将有助于促进其开发的糖果 ChefJet 系列 3D 打印机的市场

推广力度。

3D 打印机市场格局初现

越来越多的OEM厂家正加入到3D打印机供应商的行列中。

根据 Gartner 的预测,2014 年全球 3D 打印机的出货量将达到

9.9 万台左右,2015 年这一数值将成倍增长;同时,2014 年全

球市场对 3D 打印机的支出将同比增长 62%,达到 6.69 亿美元,

其中企业支出将为 5.36 亿美元,消费类支出约为 1.33 亿美元。

尽管市场空间仍然有限,但最近一两年 3D 打印机的销售

增长速度有目共睹。有行业人士指出,一旦市场容量达到 100

万台的水平,一些资金、技术实力雄厚的大型供应商将在行业

中占据更为重要的位置,并主导重新定义该行业的标准和业务

模式,而那些小公司则会逐渐退出市场竞争或是被收购。

在 顶 级 3D 打 印 机 供 应 商 的 名 单 中,3DSystems 和

Stratasys 公司是两大代表,他们目前的研发重点也是行业的主

流趋势之一,那就是如何令到 3D 打印设备的价格能够被更广

泛的市场所接受。在过去,主要用于工业应用的 3D 打印机的

价格至少要在 10 万美元以上,而如今,3D 打印机的目标价位

是要降至 1300 美元左右。特别是对于小型公司而言,成功的

关键在于能否满足 1300 美元范围内的市场需求,以适应大批

量生产和销售,或者是否拥有一些专利技术,以求被收购。总之,

未来 3~5 年内,大多数规模较小的 3D 打印机公司将遇到严峻

的考验。

与此同时,那些领先的 3D 打印机制造厂商还在不断的发

展壮大之中,他们通常采用企业收购行为,进一步刺激业务增

长率并引入更先进的技术,以巩固自己在行业中的领导地位。

例 如, 去 年 年 中,Stratasys 收 购 了 桌 面 型 3D 打 印 设 备 厂 商

Makerbot;3DSystems 并购了金属粉末 SLS3D 打印机生产厂

商 PhenixSystems。今年四月,Stratasys 同意以 2.95 亿美元收

购北美最大的 3D 打印、模具、注塑建模和快速成型服务提供商

SolidConcepts,以及另一家 3D 打印公司 HarvestTechnologies。

而为了进军医疗行业,今年 3DSystems 宣布收购定制化医疗设

备和个体化手术治疗公司 MedicalModeling、仿真手术设备公司

Simbionix 等多家企业。

传统 (2D) 打印机厂商同样是一股不可忽视的势力,许多商业

化 3D 技术都是由 2D 打印机厂商所开发的,其中包括佳能、惠普、

京瓷、理光和富士施乐等。毫无疑问的是,这些 2D 打印机制造

商一直都在等待 3D 市场的成熟和出货量的起飞,目前他们正利

用已有的自身品牌积累,积极作好进军 3D 打印市场的准备。

中国 3D 打印产业迎来重要“窗口”期

作为全球重要的制造业大国,3D 打印技术在中国同样获得了

政策面和产业面的高度重视。世界 3D 打印技术产业联盟秘书长

罗军在 2014 年 6 月举行的 2014 年 3D 打印技术产业大会上指出,

未来三到五年是中国 3D 打印发展的重要“窗口”期,到 2020 年

3D 打印产业有望实行全面产业化。

在桌面级设备方面,2014 年 8 月,珠海西通电子有限公司

发布了国内首款采用 SLA 光固化技术的 3D 打印机,打印精度最

高可达 0.025mm,打印速度可实现每小时 15mm,产品定价约为

2 万元左右,大幅提升了产品的品质和性价比。此外,在主流的

FDM 熔融层积打印机市场上,珠海西通电子、杭州先临三维科技

股份有限公司、深圳武腾科技有限公司等都是目前本土重要的供

应厂商。

在工业级开发上,西安铂力特激光成形技术有限公司以西北

工业大学凝固技术国家重点实验室为技术依托,主要从事高性能

致密金属零件的激光立体成形制造,以及金属零件的激光修复再

制造。目前采用铂力特的金属 3D 打印技术,仅用 25 天即成功制

造出大型民用客机翼身组合体大部段中的关键零部件钛合金上、

下翼缘条,大大缩短了航空关键零部件的研发周期。今年三月,

空中客车公司与铂力特签署了合作协议,共同开发激光 3D 打印

技术在航空领域的应用。

对于国内 3D 打印产业的未来前景,罗军认为,中国企业仍

然需要从技术研发、产品成熟度、市场开发、材料开发等多个层

面加大投入力度,走集群发展的道路,引导科研单位与传统产业

的转型升级相结合,同时还要加强与国际市场的对话合作,力争

走在全球 3D 打印产业的技术前沿。

国内必须尽快掌握3D 打印的核心技术

3D 打印之所以会被誉为颠覆性的技术,是因为它把

单纯的工业制造技术大众化,使得大众不必掌握相应的制

造知识就能把心中的创意直接转换成真实产品。换一个角

度来说,原本掌握在少数人手中的造物权力已经逐步向大

众释放。

在传统制造业里面,当要把一款产品打造成实体样品

的时候,其磨具费用并不低。3D 打印的出现使得企业甚

至个人以更低的成本展示自己的设计和创意,从而达到推

动社会创新的作用。早些时候,使用 3d 打印机还是需要

一定技术的,至少要懂得如何使用软件进行 3D 建模。但

是现在市场上已经存在一些辅助设备,比如说 3d 扫描仪。

环扫国内,桌面式 3D 打印市场基本处于仿制开源技

术平台的阶段,拥有自主研发技术的公司并不多。值得关

注的是,开源策略发生了变化,这对于国内多数的品牌

3D 打印机仿制者来说并不算是什么好消息,而逐步走向

自主研发的道路也是必然的趋势。虽然这场变化基本在多

数仿制者的意料之中,但是其发生时间却要比预期快很多。

不少桌面 3D 打印机制造商注意到了国内用户与海外

用户在对产品的态度:国内用户更为讲究实际和效果。在

欧美地区,多数用户购买桌面式 3D 打印机是源自于个人

兴趣,而国内用户主要是以工作为主。这也就是说,国内

用户更加注重 3D 打印机的效果和稳定性,因此对于产品

的小毛病都会嗤之以鼻。目前 3D 打印出来的成品在外观

和尺寸上比从传统制造行业流程走出来的产品要差不少,

国内 3D 打印制造商仍然需要不断的提高打印精准度,甚

至加入打磨功能。

Five Wonders to Be Realized by 3D Printing in 10 Years

十年内 3D 打印或将实现的 5 件疯狂之事

科学技术发展史是人类认识自然、改造自然的历史,也是

人类文明史的重要组成部分。多年来,人类豪迈地飞往宇宙空间,

机器人问世,高清晰度数字化彩电进入日常家庭生活,克隆羊

多利诞生惊动整个世界……当人们在为现代科学技术的神奇功

能而叹为观止的时候,3D 打印技术也逐渐进入了大众的视野。

那么,你是否足够了解 3D 打印技术 ?

日前,美国科技博客 ReadWrite 刊文汇总了在未来十年内

通过 3D 打印技术可能实现的五件疯狂之事,包括房子,树木、

皮肉、人体器官和月球基地。以下是文章概要:

自从 1984 年查尔斯·赫尔(Charles Hull)开发出第一台

商业 3D 打印机以来,3D 打印技术在 30 年间取得了巨大的进展。

乐观主义者坚信,在未来十年内,通过 3D 打印技术,人类可

以复制出房子,树木、皮肉、人体器官甚至月球基地。

房子

南加利福尼亚大学一位研究人员称,他们已经设计出一

台巨大的 3D 打印概念机,可以在 24 小时之内“建造”一座

2500 英尺的房屋。

据称,这台概念机采用混凝土为原材料,可以复制出电脑

程序预先设计好的房屋。它采用一种名为“Contour Crafting”

(轮廓工艺)的制作工艺,可确保在建房屋所有必要的水管、

电线管道、空调管道等设施有条不紊的被复制出来。

对于廉价房、灾后重建以及房屋模型而言,这种 3D 打印

机意义非凡,当然了前提是这样的机器真的存在,而非概念性

的东西。

树木

准确地讲,这样的树木只是 3D 打印出来的木材。

两位 NASA 研究院正在寻找一种可以让树木通过 3D 生物

打印技术“生长”的方法。

该研究团队称,细胞可以通过培育生产出某种非生命的

物质,比如说木材。这种 3D 打印机可以在特定的模式下通过

活细胞打印出木材。为了实现这一目标,该团队已经获得了

NASA 提供的 100000 美元研发基金。

皮肉

每一顿牛排大餐,每一件真皮夹克的存在都是建立在杀生

的基础之上的。如果可以通过 3D 打印获得动物的皮肉,从人

道主义讲是非常值得的。

目前,走在 3D 打印牛科类副产品最前端的非 Modern

Meadow 莫属。该公司认为,通过杀戮获得牛肉和牛皮从成本

上讲是不划算的。而且,目前全球还有很多人在和饥饿做斗争,

合成肉市场需求很大。

据了解,这些合成肉和皮是以一种名为生物墨水的原料打

印出来的。截止到目前为止,该公司已获得 6 位数的研发资金。

复杂的人体器官

如果 3D 打印人体器官最终实现的话,器官捐献将会成为

历史。

路易斯维尔大学心血管创新研究所的生物学家认为,他们

能够在 10 年内通过 3D 打印创造出心脏器官。目前,该团队已

经可以通过生物打印创造出冠状动脉和心脏血管,他们期望在

不久的将来可以一次性打印出整个心脏器官。

当然了,如果科学家无法保证 3D 打印出来的器官存活的

话,这种 3D 打印技术是没有任何意义的。2013 年,科学家曾

经通过生物打印创造出了一个肝脏,但是它仅仅存活了 5 天。

月球基地

欧洲太空总署正在考虑让他们的宇航员可以通过 3D 打印

技术创造月球基地。这或许是 3D 打印领域最有野心的计划了。

据称,他们计划用月球上的土壤作为打印基地的原材料。

目前,欧洲太空总署的科研人员已经可以通过人造月球土

壤打印出 1.5 公吨建筑模块了 . 利用这些模块,宇航员就可以

组建一座基地。

当然了,这个实验是在地球上实现的,到月球上会是什么

样子呢?

美国 18 岁少年PK3D 打印行业大佬

对于打印行业来说,二十一世纪

最大的发现无疑就是 3D 打印技术。但

是,不要以为 3D 打印是一门高深的学

问。实际上,即使是在医疗器械领域,

3D 打印技术也越来越普及。

我们已经看到了很多 3D 打印的

假肢,从众包式设计制作的 E-Nable

假 手, 到 UNYQ 的 定 制 化 3D 打 印

假 腿 外 壳 等。 而 来 自 美 国 的 Easton

LaChappelle 告诉我们,个体户也可

以玩转 3D 打印。

这 位 来 自 美 国 科 罗 拉 多 州 的 少

年 14 岁就用乐高玩具、钓鱼线和电

气管路制作出了他的第一个机械臂。

与其它有工程天赋的少年一样,他总

能把各种东西拆开,并搞清楚它们是

如 何 工 作 的。 有 这 样 的 学 习 天 赋,

LaChappelle 持续不断地改进他的机

械臂,直到它逐渐成为一个完整的假

臂设计,最后再变成一个用户可以用

意念控制的 3D 打印假肢。

就在 LaChappelle 已经尝到使用

3D 打印机进行设计的甜头,并准备

在未来几年里进一步开发机械臂的时

候,他在科罗拉多州一次科学活动中

碰到了一位 7 岁的女孩,这位女孩告

诉他,由于她的长大,她原有那只价

值 80000 美元的假肢将不得不更换。

于是他决定,他需要停下来,真正专

注于设计一款经济实惠的机械臂。

受到小女孩的启发,LaChappelle

着手设计一种实用的装置,首先它很

廉价,这样年轻的假肢佩戴者可以随

着自己的成长随时更换它,而不必承

担沉重的经济压力。

在 18 岁那年,也就是在他使用乐

高玩具开发出自己的第一个机械臂短

短四年时间之后,LaChappelle 创办了

自己的公司—— Unlimited Tomorrow

(意为无限明天),公司目标为开发

一种外骨骼以帮助推进假肢的设计,

帮助截瘫患者重新走路。 该公司已申

请专利,目前正在等待 FDA 批准他们

的设计。LaChappelle 还向美国总统

奥巴马展示了他的机械臂概念产品,

并前往世界各地,让别人知道他正在

做什么。

也许 Unlimited Tomorrow 公司推

出的更好的产品之一,是他们先进的

开源机械臂。它可以作为一种 STEM

综合学习平台训练学生设计制作机械

假肢,最终可以在教室环境中让学生

从中学会如何使用 3D 打印机、以及机

器人的工作原理,并有助于推进未来

的假肢设计。

最 近,LaChappelle 正 在 努 力 筹

集资金,并在众筹平台 GoFundMe 上

开设了募资页面,这样他就可以获得

更多的资源,包括更多的 3D 打印机、

材料开发、人力资源和检测设备,来

完成自己的目标。

此外,他还在 Shapeways 上开设

了一个店铺,用户可以花 247.97 美元

定制一个 3D 打印的假手。

打印与运输二合一

亚马逊申请3D 打印卡车专利

据国外媒体报道,为了让快递送货

更为快捷,亚马逊的数份专利申请文件

显示,这家电商巨头希望启用 3D 打印

卡车,用更快的速度将顾客需要的 3D

打印商品送抵。

亚马逊在专利申请文件中写道,公

司希望打造一套系统,提供按需定制的

3D 打印服务,从而更快地送货。为了保

证速度,3D 打印工作有时甚至可以在送

货卡车中完成。这套系统的优点在于,

亚马逊可以保证随时发货,而不用在意

是否有库存。

近些年来,亚马逊愈发重视物流速

度。公司正在靠近城市中心的区域建立

庞大的仓储中心网络,发展自己的物流

网络,还在纽约启用了自行车送货员,

提供 1 小时送货服务。

2013 年年底,亚马逊一项名为“预

先送货”的专利获批。这套系统可以在

用户还未点击网站上的“购买”按钮时

便启动送货流程。亚马逊认为自己相当

了解顾客,可以在顾客拿定主意之前就

判断出他们是不是要购买商品。亚马逊

称,它可以将热门商品就近存储在仓库

中,有时是存储在卡车上,从而做到这

一点。

到目前为止,亚马逊尚未公开推广

自己的“预先送货”理念。同样,公司

也有可能不会安排 3D 打印卡车车队,

相关专利也有可能不被批准。

具体业务方面,打印业务一直是惠普的最大利润来源。其第一财季营

收 55.43 亿美元,虽然比去年同期的 58.15 亿美元下降 5%,但运营利润率

为 19.2%。相比而言,PC 业务第一财季营收为 85.44 亿美元,但运营利润

率仅为 3.7%。而作为惠普战略发展方向的几块业务,企业服务、软件和金

融等业务收入也有所下滑。

惠普称,去年汇率变化对业绩的影响超出预期。同时,云计算服务的

兴起影响了传统存储设备和硬件产品的销售,进而对惠普业绩造成影响。

到目前为止,惠普主打企业市场的新产品和服务尚未取得持续的成功。在

整个 2014 财年,惠普 65% 的营收来自美国以外的市场。

国外一家分析机构称,在企业领域有所增长,惠普具备市场宽度,但

是没有深度。专业领域的其他公司做得更加出色,惠普需要充分利用自己

的宽度。

自惠普宣布将在 2015 年分拆为两家上市公司后,投资者一直在关注惠

普的分拆计划,以及分拆为两家独立的上市公司后的业绩变化。惠普认为,

分拆是应对企业计算市场快速变化做出的回应,预计将在今年最后一个季

脚踏实地开垦一片新天地——记北京市北方办公用品公司

近年来,办公耗材行业竞争加剧,中小企业面临着成本增

大、利润下滑等诸多挑战。有些企业在泥潭中艰难跋涉,也有

些企业在努力实现转型,走出了适合市场发展的新路。说到转型,

就不能不提到一个典型的公司案例——北京市北方办公用品公

司(以下简称北方办公)。

北方办公成立于 1991 年,从成立初期到 2011 年一直停留

在在研发、生产、对外出口等几个方面的业务,对于品牌建设

的大力投入是在 2011 年后才开始的。从传统的制造企业走到

现在的多元化企业,用一句古话来概括那就是:北方办公抓住

了“天时、地利、人和”。

天时:

阿里巴巴集团公司的成立,标志着电商的黄金时代拉开了

序幕。2008 年国内电子商务的爆发式增长,使得嗅觉灵敏的北

方办公开始研究如何搭上电子商务这辆高速增长的列车。正是

从这一年起,北方办公高瞻远瞩地成立了电商部,开始拓展电

商业务。在发展初期,电商尽管为公司业绩的高速增长贡献了

不少力量,但较之公司成熟的外贸和内贸业务,电商占的比重

还很小。在这个阶段,电商为公司带来的最大改变是给公司注

入了“互联网思维”。互联网思维改变了传统企业的很多经营

管理理念,为公司实现突飞猛进注入了新的活力。

地利:

如今的北方办公,分别在成都、广东、西安设立了 3 个分

公司,在北京和珠海建立了两个分工厂,全国共有代理商 1700

多家,产品种类达到 2400 余种,分别销往全球 40 多个国家和

地区。面对耗材行业的未来,公司对此充满了信心和希望。关

于未来的产业布局,北方办公认为地利对于未来非常重要。随

着客户对货物的高效运转要求越来越高,之前客户能够接受 7

天到货,可是现在大多客户要求当日定货明日到达。没有全国

性的产业布局,没有高效运转的物流体系,客户的这些需求也

就不可能满足。

人和:

北方办公能够取得今天的成绩,就不得不提起他们高效团

队。团队建设是北方办公长期坚持的工作,因为公司始终认为,

公司的成长就是人才的成长。如果要问公司二十多年最大的投

资和最值得骄傲的投资的话,那无疑问就是对人才的培养和投

入。在今天的公司综合管理部门,本科学历以上占 43%,专科

学历占 52%。公司的一线销售人员综合素质非常高,他们对于

产品和营销都有着自己独特的理解,他们不但训练有素,经验

丰富,更善于独立思考和不断学习,不断地充实提高自己。

在行业竞争白热化的今天,还能一直突破自己、壮大自己

的公司,他们的销售部门负责人究竟是个怎么样的人呢?亚洲

再生业的记者带着好奇拜访了这位经理。

当记者走进北方办公销售总监高龙的办公室时,这位年轻

的副总正与办公室的同事谈得火热。高龙身材高大,笑容和气,

透着内蒙人的憨厚、大气和可亲。

一、都是年轻人,想做点事情。

高总开门见山地谈到,刚接手北方办公的销售管理工作之

时,正是耗材行业处于低谷的时候。如何走出低价竞争的沼泽,

如何化被动为主动,他和公司的一大帮年轻人一起,琢磨了很久,

将突破点放在了电子商务领域。

万事开头难,但越是困难就越要向前。关于公司的发展探

索,没有一模一样的成功案例可以模仿,只能根据公司的实际

情况想办法。他认为当时的北方作为兼容耗材供应商,在整个

耗材行业内影响力还偏小,只有学会借力去经营,才能有收获。

找准了方向后,他们与天猫、京东、阿里巴巴签订合作协议,

慢慢积累流量,有了客户积累,有了销售量的提升。

从中他深刻体会到:电子商务不仅是简单的销售工具,更

是一种观念的转变。做电子商务要学的东西太多,从大数据的

使用,到管理软件的应用,电子商务改变着我们工作方式,做

电子商务不仅要看到今天我们做的事情,更要放眼未来看到一

个月后和一年后我们要做的事情。

二、做事靠人才

公司能够取得快速发展,一方面是公司产品的技术过关,

市场销量好。另一方面是公司的员工爱岗敬业,带动了公司的

健康成长。

北方办公的业绩近几年快速上升,这跟公司的内部提拔制

度和注重效率有关。董事长郑总曾说:评价一个员工,首先看

他是不是能和公司一起走下去的人。有的员工在岗 15、16 年了,

工作起来多年如一日,兢兢业业。他们对于公司有一种归属感,

他们认可公司的发展目标和方向 , 愿意融入这个集体 , 这是企业

的文化留住了人。郑总平时经常与员工聊家常,了解他们的想法,

关注他们的情绪变化,营造出了一种家庭般的温情,也使得员

工从内心里把企业当作了自己的家。公司形成了良好的氛围,

工作效率也就提高了。

对于公司而言,追求利润是硬道理。在销售管理方面,公

司的任务制订既有定额,也给员工留有充足的发展空间。业绩

完成得好的销售人员奖金上不封顶,回报丰厚。对于极少数不

努力工作的员工,也有末尾淘汰制的转岗、降级,直至辞退的

各项制度的约束,使大家工作起来既有压力,又有动力。

三、管理落实在效率上

说到公司的高效运转,高龙提到:有一次公司新上一个项

目——条码碳带,因为不懂技术,设备上马后,型号编码出现

问题,造成客户的不满,公司在这个项目的推进上受到了很大

阻碍,也影响到了整体的产品形象。了解到问题症结所在之后,

公司当晚就进行技术上的培训,聘请外面的技术专家指导新品

的推出,很快取得了不错的效果。公司从这件事情上汲取了经验,

在遇到类似问题时会采取快速反应机制,做起事情越来越轻松,

越来越游刃有余。

北方办公每天有晨会,每周有定期的信息交流。晨会提出

的要求,当天就要有反馈;每周提出的总结 , 下周就要有改进;

分析完一个销售案例后,下次出差就要有所实践。这种高效的

工作方法使大家时时刻刻都有进步。

高总说,在生意场上,客户就是上帝,要用一颗真诚的心

去与客户交流,出现矛盾和争议时,我们应该换位思考,积极

面对,想方设法把问题当天解决,这样才会赢得客户的尊重和

理解,生意才好做。

四、电子商务前景广阔

北方办公运营团队近年来在电子商务领域从试水到全面参

与,收获了一些宝贵的经验,目前电子商务部门的各个团队,

分工细化程度很高。但高龙认为,这些还只是初步的认识,离

他的理想还有距离,电商领域还有太多可挖掘的潜能。

电子商务互联网工具的应用、大数据获取分析, CRM 管

理应用、产品营销互动等等,还远远没有与我们的耗材行业中

融为一体,我们要走的路还很长。他深知,以市场作为自己的

发展导向,不断充实提高自己,路虽然艰辛,目标终会达到。

从北方办公身上,我们可以看到新鲜的想法、积极的态度

和坚定的信心,相信在不远的将来我们能看到北京市北方办公

用品公司更加光明的前景。

就在中关村的“蚂蚁雄兵”们,正

逐渐撤离这个曾经“梦想开始”的地方,

而位于中关村硅谷电脑城的“奔图旗舰

店”,却在近日正式开业,作为中国人

自己的打印机品牌,奔图华北区首家旗

舰店逆势开业。

走 进 华 北 区 首 家 旗 舰 店, 奔 图 旗

下 包 括 高 速 打 印 机 P3000 系 列、 一 体

机 M5000 系列,以及 2014 年主推的明

星打印产品——“小时代”智简易加粉

P2500 系列打印机产品全线上阵,使消

费者在现场体验到奔图终端强大的技术

实力与自主打造的产品创新力。

据奔图旗舰店负责人闫总介绍:“奔

图旗舰店的开业,使得奔图在多元化渠

道建设、拓展与消费者接触界面上,又

向前迈进了一步,而奔图旗舰店将以‘用

户体验’为核心,全面展示奔图的品牌

与技术研发实力,让用户真正感触到‘中

国创造’的魅力。”

据了解,奔图硅谷电脑城旗舰店,

是奔图继上海、广州等区域后,又新增

的一家旗舰店,到目前为止,奔图已经

在全国建立了数百家用户体验店,上千

家 “奔图P+”服务网点,初步建立了以“用

户体验”和“服务”为核心的营销网络。

“只听说奔图打印机产品好还不够,

重要的是体验一下,看看打印速度、机

器的内部架构等等,这样在选择购买时,

心里更有底。”前来奔图旗舰店体验的

王小姐说道,“购买一个硬件设备,看

得见、摸的着,会更踏实一些。”

另据奔图华北区负责人王炯介绍:

“奔图旗舰店不仅提供产品的展示、销

售以及售后服务。现阶段,更多的将承

担终端品牌的推广职能,品牌度的提升

比销售规模、市场份额的增长更为迫切。

当众多品牌在收缩时,奔图却逆势

扩张,底气从哪里来?其实,从过去奔

图的快速发展不难看出,今天的奔图,

已经站在了打印机行业市场裂变的前沿,

在中央政采市场,奔图已经跨进了前三,

打印机分销巨头如北京康悦等,已经与

奔图战略合作,再加上外围政策风向的

变化,奔图的逆势而上,也就不足为奇。

“接下来,奔图将会加大华北区布

局,旗舰店数量会迅速扩张,也希望与

有志于中国打印机事业的各位伙伴一道,

把中国人自己的打印机品牌,推向新的

高度。”王炯最后说道。
