HP's new laser printers are its greenest and most efficient yet

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

HP has announced a range of updated business-focused Color LaserJet printers designed to tackle some of the biggest oppositions facing laser printers - namely, their typically heavier environmental burden compared with inkjet counterparts.

As well as more energy-efficient models, HP has worked on more sustainable packaging options to appeal to eco-conscious IT decision-makers, but this still might not be enough to retain customers as inlet once again gains in popularity.

The updates focus on the smaller 4200/4300 models and the Enterprise 5000/6000 series models as the company looks to appeal to target businesses of varying sizes all in one hit.

Are HP Color LasetJet printers eco-friendly?

The headline figure is a reduction in energy consumption by up to 27% which HP says is mainly thanks to the HP TerraJet toners that are optimized for the laser printers, meaning that third-party refills are unlikely to benefit from the same energy consumption credentials.

With these toners comes a 20% increase in printable colors and a 25% increase in printing speed which will undoubtedly be nothing but good news. Plastic packaging has also been reduced by 78%, though not eliminated.

Built-in HP Wolf Security protocols aim to provide a boost in security in an increasingly precarious digital world, while automatic misfeed reduction also features.

The updated models are due to go on sale in the US in April with other markets following through summer 2023.

For many organizations, a more efficient range of laser printers that are valued for faster and quieter printing may be enough for them to warrant an upgrade, however ever since committing to move away from laser printers over environmental concerns Epson has been working on improving inkjet technology, to the point that its new WorkForce Enterprise AM-Series promise to match laser printing speeds while using just a quarter of the energy.

Microsoft, Google, and Meta have borrowed EV tech for the next big thing in data centers: 1MW watercooled racks

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Liquid cooling isn't optional anymore, it's the only way to survive AI's thermal onslaught The jump to 400VDC borrows heavily from electric vehicle supply chains and design logic Google’s TPU supercomputers now run at gigawatt scale with 99.999% uptime As demand for artificial intelligence workloads intensifies, the physical infrastructure of data centers is undergoing rapid and radical transformation. The likes of Google, Microsoft, and Meta are now drawing on technologies initially developed for electric vehicles (EVs), particularly 400VDC systems, to address the dual challenges of high-density power delivery and thermal management. The emerging vision is of data center racks capable of delivering up to 1 megawatt of power, paired with liquid cooling systems engineered to manage the resulting heat. Borrowing EV technology for data center evolution The shift to 400VDC power distribution marks a decisive break from legacy sy...

The Apple Watch ban is lifted, on appeal – but the reprieve might only be temporary

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The Apple Watch ban story has developed quickly over the last week and a bit, and there's now a new twist: the US Court of Appeals is putting a pause on the US sales and import ban while it reviews the case, which means the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 can go back on sale for the time being. "We are thrilled to return the full Apple Watch lineup to customers in time for the new year," an Apple spokesperson told TechRadar. "We are pleased the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has stayed the exclusion order while it considers our request to stay the order pending our full appeal." The watches in question are now once again available from "select" Apple Stores, and will also be going on sale from the Apple website from 12pm PT / 3pm ET on Thursday, December 28 (that's 8pm in the UK, and early on December 29 in Australia). All Apple Stores should have stock by the weekend. As for how long t...

The Samsung Galaxy Ring could go into production as soon as next month

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support With the dust beginning to settle from the huge Samsung Unpacked 2023 event, we can turn our attention towards what Samsung might have planned next: and a smart ring seems to be in the company's near future. As per a report from South Korean outlet The Elec (via SamMobile ), mass production on a Samsung Galaxy Ring could begin as early as August, with a decision imminent on the schedule for getting the wearable manufactured and out to consumers. A full launch is slated for some point during 2024 though, rather than 2023. The nature of the device means that it'll need to clear several regulatory hurdles before it can go on sale and start tracking various vital statistics. An early 2024 launch would put the Galaxy Ring on a similar schedule to the Samsung Galaxy S24 – and it would therefore make sense to launch both gadgets at the same time, perhaps in January or February if Samsung follows its 2023 routine. The story so far Rumors ar...
