There’s good news for manufacturers as Ricoh announced the release of its first branded 3D printer, the RICOH AM S5500P. The new printer is to be showcased at Formnext 2015 in Frankfurt this November and then put on general release by the middle of next year. The Development of 3D Printing Whilst the technology is new to many of us, researchers and developers have been working on the concept of 3D printing for at least the last three decades.
We are delighted to announce that we are now ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System, ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System and OHSAS 18001:2007 Health and Safety Management System accredited.

A Better Print Experience Most smartphones and tablets usually don’t have their own printing software on board which can make it difficult if you want to send a document to
Across the entire NHS, more than a billion pounds is spent on administrative services, including printing, each year. With the organisation looking to save money on a grand scale and improve the way they operate, a more focused printing procurement policy could make a small but significant impact. It may not solve the major problems the NHS faces today but it could contribute to improving productivity, admin practices and reduce those all-important costs. Printing services have been working with the NHS at various levels
For many 3D printing is an interesting concept but they have difficulty in seeing how it can be utilised to benefit the world in general. For scientists and developers across the world, it is a growing technology that could actually revolutionise areas such as medicine, construction and education to name but a few. We may be some time away from the day when 3D printers can print out brand new organs for a transplant, but that doesn’t mean researchers aren’t
There’s no doubt that 3D printing is still capturing the imagination. There are plenty of stories published online concerning new and remarkable objects that have been printed out at home or in the lab, and even august institutions such as NASA have been messing around it. To many, though, it still remains a gimmick that may look good on a YouTube video but where it’s difficult to see how the application could benefit particular institutions or businesses.

It might seem a long way away, but Shelbyville in the United States could well provide the template for many UK schools that want to find ways of reducing costs and leaving more in the budget for teaching and learning resources. Whilst the technology already exists for many schools and other educational establishments to not only reduce their running costs but also significantly cut their environmental impact, many are still not implementing the strategies that make a difference. In Shelbyville the school got together
There is little doubt that the printer in the corner of your office has come a long way in the last few years. Gone is the clunky device where the paper jammed whenever you tried to perform a long print run, gone are the electricity guzzling devices that seem to cost more and more each day. Nowadays you can print high quality documents at speed, copy and store valuable data, and manage your print provision remotely using any Wi-Fi enabled
Papercut has been one of the most important additions to the office environment for many businesses in the last few years, although most staff members probably don’t even know that it exists. This easy to use software is actually found in over 50,000 businesses and organisations across the globe and has helped many of them significantly cut costs and operate more efficiently when it comes to their printing and paper management processes. The great thing about Papercut is that it
