Toshiba’s Erasable Toner

Toshiba TEC has announced “the industry’s first” monochromatic copier/fax/scanner/printer thingamajig that features erasable toner. I’m not sure if it has something to do with the fact that it’s erasable (not because I’m a moron, but because the press release doesn’t say), but the toner is also blue.

In fact, the toner is so erasable that Toshiba TEC is claiming that the same piece of paper can be reused 5 times. But before Toshiba goes and tries to rescue the environment with blue toner and saving paper, they’ll need to help us out with the cost - only the copier (no feeder, scanner, nadda) costs nearly $12,200 USD. Don’t expect to see your office copier replaced anytime soon either; most people’s asses look awful in blue.

The main merit
1. Purchase quantitative * abolition quantity of paper substantially reduction possibility
As for " " e-STUDIO350EB " the toner e-blue&trade which can be turned off; " By the fact that it corresponds, 1 paper 5 times *2 reuse (Lee use) it is possible to be able to point. The document of the temporariness where many papers are consumed at the office (the copy of the communication document, trial at the time of data compilation it prints) the copy and print such as printing the email with after doing " e-STUDIO350EB ", the collection of the used OA paper and elimination *3 by the fact that the reuse *4 is repeated, it is possible to reduce the amount used of the paper substantially. *5

*2 Reusable frequency differs depending upon utilization condition.
*3 The elimination device of the difference sale is used to elimination.
*4 With the resin of the main component of the toner, the mark of printing remains somewhat.
*5 (Inc.) with the truth use with Toshiba, the purchase quantity of the paper which is purchased anew approximately 60% has been reduced.



By the fact that per minute " of e-STUDIO350EB " 35 calls printing speed is utilized, being the copy of the mass manuscript and print of the mass circulation, being the former MFP similar using selfish, " the toner e-blue&trade which can be turned off; Because " printing which is used is possible, as furthermore you can expect to the amount used reduction of the paper the big effect, it contributes to the improvement of the consciousness for the effective use of the individual resource.

2. The design which is considered in environment such as energy-saving conversion
" E-STUDIO350EB " as decrease of the environmental load with the amount used reduction of the paper is assured, designated the design which is considered, in environment such as energy-saving conversion and reduction of the environmental impact chemical goods as the basis and merchandised. Energy-saving conversion actualized with this corporation individual IH fixation *6 technology. With this technology, it clears the energy consumption efficiency 2006 target reference level of the energy-saving method *7, the international energy star, has conformed to also the green purchase method *8. In addition six value chrome free conversions of lead free solder conversion, the halogen free conversion *9 and the steel sheet & the screw et cetera of the etched circuit baseplate are adopted positively, reduction of the environmental load substance is assured.

*6 As a IH = Induction Heating. fixation vessel heater, the electromagnetic induction overheating system which improves energy conversion efficiency. It decreases energy consumption efficiency, actualizes economical electric power.
*7 The law which promotes the efficient use of energy.
*8 The institution of the country, the law which promotes the purchase of the goods whose load to environment is as small as possible.
*9 In the respective company make etched circuit basis, 100% execution.



3. Efficiency of the completeness which follows " e-STUDIO350/450 "
Due to e-BRIDGE controller loading the colorful network function
" E-STUDIO350EB ", it sold we follow the basic efficiency " of e-STUDIO350/450 " first from this corporation. With this corporation individual e-BRIDGE technology *10, expansion to print / scan /FAX function is possible easily, the document solution which is suited for the work flow of the office is offered.

*10 E-BRIDGE technology
The paper and the electronic data, the MFP and the user, in the match straw raincoat which becomes the respective bridge of the MFP and network, via Internet, Intranet, Mobile and wireless communication et cetera, the platform of the MFP and general term of the technology which ties the various solution groups.



Actualizes comfortable operativity the user * interface which
Comfortable operating environment such as large-sized LCD touch panel of the universal design which adopts the idea contest attaching button and the tilt mechanism which are easy to know and the templet function which can be accessed the various setting scenes quickly is offered.

Efficiently the device management * JOB can be managed the utility which
Does the machine management * setting, job of the system manager is made to streamline easily with the Web browser.

- Concerning the generation copy and both sides printing, there is a possibility of decreasing from the usual printing time printing density at the time of paper reuse and in paper characteristic
SmileI followed the link thatwas supplied, and then translated to English. It does leave alot to be desired.

I think what they are saying is that you can re-use copies that have been printed on that machine. It erases the previous image and then lays down a new image. (I think)
