Samsung Acquires Cloud Printing Company PrinterOn

Samsung Electronics has acquired mobile cloud printing company PrinterOn in a bid to enhance its mobile cloud services to the business-to-business market.

PrinterOn Users email documents from their smartphones, tablets or laptops and PrinterOn renders the document in the cloud and securely delivers it to the PrinterOn-enabled printer of choice, where it is then printed after the user enters a secure release code. There are over 10,000 PrinterOn printing locations worldwide. The company also offers private cloud services on-site for customers that require mobile printing but do not want data to leave the secure corporate network.

The acquisition of PrinterOn will boost Samsung’s leadership in the standardization of mobile printing as a founding member of the Mopria Alliance, it said in a statement. A non-profit organisation backed by printer and ink cartridge vendors like Hewlett-Packard, Canon, Adobe and Xerox, Mopria aims to drive standards adoption by mobile, printer and OS industry leaders, and certify products to carry the Mopria brand.

Print-Rite Launches 3D Printer

Print-Rite launched the CoLiDo desktop 3D printer this month along with ABS/PLA filament for use in 3D printing. Print-Rite stated that it has “demonstrated its leading position in the aftermarket printer consumables industry” by developing the machine.

The company added that the 3D printer “generates a high precision printout by using a proprietary design printhead”, with the machine said to be “extremely user-friendly” with “low noise and a competitive price”. It noted in turn that the machine was developed “in-house”, including the electronic board, firmware and printhead, and is equipped with a “coated glass print table which allows for easy removal of the printed object” after the print has finished.

Print your own ‘Mini Me’ while you shop.

Asda will become the first supermarket in the country to offer in-store 3D printing in its stores and it begins trials on October 15.

The supermarket chain said it will be offering the 3d printing service, which can scan anything up to the size of a car and reduce it down to an 8-inch model. The 3d printing service will first be tested at its York store, before being rolled it out more widely if it’s successful.

With prices ranging from £40, shoppers simply need to pop into the store with whatever they want scanned and can then pick up their item as they are doing their shopping the following week, Asda says.

The company envisage one of their top requests will be for customers to have themselves scanned to produce a 8 inch replica. Whether people would want to spend £40 on a ‘mini me’ remains to be seen, but it would be an original sculpture.
