Ink Cartridge Design Evoloves As Printers Change

Ink Cartridge Design Evoloves As Printers Change: "There was a time, long ago that printers had ribbons and used dot matrix printing to create tiny dots that, when looked at, were readable. Sometimes they were BARELY readable, however. Changing ribbons and printing wheels to change type face was a chore"

The Future... Faster!

Why is it that the United States market is NOT the leader in cell phone use, broadband Internet, high definition television, or other technologies that we invented?

We lead the world in technology, but fall behind in just about anything that REGULATED. We're living with grossly outdated laws, and way too much regulation to foster competition.

I can't say I agree with all the motives of the "future... faster" web site, and some of the stuff is dated. But I think it's a good idea to take a few minutes and review it (the TV ads were great, and maybe the most informative part of the site)

A Marketing Plan For Life

These days, I spend most of my time marketing people and books.

I still own an imaging industry business, and have so many friends in the industry, that I'm still going to do more imaging ventures soon.

In the mean time, I think you can get some great ideas from watching how we promote authors and books. (I know I've picked up a lot of education this way).

Here's my latest effort.. a blog about a promotion we're planning for a great book called A Marketing Plan For Life. The author is Robert Michael Fried, who has done some great marketing on his own, and used the process in this book to make a change in his own life.

I think the book is a must read.. but whether you read that or not, take a look at how I'm using these 12 steps in the promotion of his book on Amazon.

WSJ.com - Digital Snaps in a Snap

WSJ.com - Digital Snaps in a Snap: "Now popping up not just in hospitals, but also fast-food joints, cruise ships and other high-traffic spots, photo kiosks have become the newest battleground in the digital-photo printing wars. And as more players seek to grab a bigger share of the $3.5 billion annual U.S. digital photo-printing market, companies such as Sony, Eastman Kodak Co., Fuji Photo Film Co. and Pixel Magic Imaging Inc. are racing to make the kiosks nearly as ubiquitous as automated-teller machines.
Prices for the kiosks are also plunging, fostering the spread of the machines. The average list price of a photo kiosk from Lucidiom Inc. is $3,900 today, down from $5,500 last year, says Stephen Giordano, chief executive of the closely held Vienna, Va., company. Retailers typically buy the machines, and keep the revenue from prints. Some kiosk makers now also offer lease options, where retailers pay a monthly fee and share the revenue from consumers.
The fact that kiosks are getting smaller and faster is heightening their appeal to non-photo retailers. Kodak's latest photo kiosks, for instance, can produce a standard 4-by-6-inch image in just four seconds, down from 11 seconds just a few months ago. In addition to printing snaps from digital cameras, the kiosks can often also print images from camera phones, scan old film photos onto a compact disc, download pictures from a digital memory card onto a CD, and make prints from a CD.
Sony is placing kiosks in hospitals and craft stores that specialize in scrapbook-making. Closely held Pixel Magic has kiosks sailing on Carnival Corp. cruise ships. Kodak has installed kiosks at Walt Disney Co.'s amusement parks, McDonald's Corp. restaurants in Hong Kong, and dispatches a traveling fleet to sporting events such as the Olympic"

WSJ.com - H-P to Unveil Major Restructuring

WSJ.com - H-P to Unveil Major Restructuring: "Wall Street analysts are projecting large cost cuts at H-P, involving anywhere from 5,000 to 25,000 layoffs from the company's 150,000-person work force. Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., last month predicted job cuts of 7,500 to 15,000 employees, which would garner annual savings of $750 million to $1.5 billion.
H-P's enterprise computing business and services business, which are less profitable than some rivals, appear particularly exposed to any job cuts. In addition, Mr. Sacconaghi wrote in a research report, Mr. Hurd could eliminate some costs by shutting down nonessential research-and-development projects, cutting the advertising budget and streamlining the sales force.
In a research note yesterday, Cindy Shaw, an analyst at Moors & Cabot, suggested H-P could cut as many as 25,000 jobs early next week."

WSJ.com - Printer, Copier Firms Battle for Businesses To Convert to Color


WSJ.com - Printer, Copier Firms Battle for Businesses To Convert to Color: "Sales of monochrome laser printers, the workhorses that many businesses own, peaked in the U.S. in 1998 and have stagnated despite lower prices, according to research firm Gartner Inc. Making color a standard feature in the office -- as it is in the home, on low-end ink-jet printers -- is seen as an attractive way to wring new growth from the mature, $52 billion printer market."
