		<description><![CDATA[Issue #0815/1 – With two new A3 colour MFPs (Hewlett-Packard CM6040F and Lexmark X945e) now available in the printer channel, there is more choice for organisations both in regard to which machine to adopt and also how to acquire the device.

		<description><![CDATA[#0814/1 – Hewlett-Packard and Lexmark have both recently launched new high-speed colour MFPs, targeted at workgroups, that are available under the traditional printer hardware sale arrangement.  The Hewlett-Packard Colour LaserJet CM6040 and the Lexmark X945e will both print at 40ppm in colour but have quite different paper handling characteristics and very different cost structures.

		<description><![CDATA[Issue #0813/2 - It is with some irony that news has broken today that Lexmark has won a long-term (5-year) contract with the U. S. Air Force for supply of laser printers, MFPs, consumables, service and support at its bases around the world.

CharisCo Printer Labs put three inkjet All-in-Ones on eBay, with a fascinating outcome!  This offers some insight into why Lexmark’s consumer division [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Issue #0812/2 - Despite our appetite for all things small and portable, when it comes to A4 office printers, portability is something that does not tend to find a major place in the armoury.

		<description><![CDATA[Issue #0811/1 - Colorlok technology is a paper formulation designed to provide bolder blacks, more vivid colours and faster drying time for inkjet printing than standard office papers, with high consistency and quality.
