Own a SMART franking machine? You need to switch to blue ink

Last year Royal Mail made a change to the franking ink used in franked mail. The change affected any business that uses a SMART franking machine.

SMART franking machines can frank in both red and blue ink but Royal Mail has changed the colour of franking to just blue ink which improves the readability of franked mail. The colour change has been slowly implemented over the year, but now if you own a SMART franking machine, you need to begin buying blue franking machine ink, instead of red.

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.
