Printing is still a necessary evil. Could your business do it better for less?

It’s no secret that more and more business is being done online. But IT departments are well aware, printing continues to be a necessary cost centre.

To help ease this burden, Canon genuine consumables offer a variety of ways to save your business time and money.

The Dual Resistance High Density ink used in Canon MAXIFY printers is a newly developed pigment ink formulation optimised specifically for business printing.

The combination of DRHD business quality inks and Canon’s FINE technology deliver professional quality colour document printing with productive speeds to small and medium sized office environments.

Business-quality printing features

  • High density: The high density DRHD pigment inks ensure printed text is clear, sharp and legible while graphs are reproduced in vivid and dense colours
  • Friction resistant: DRHD inks have outstanding fastness – so they won’t fade over time and are friction resistant too making them perfect for high quality business documents
  • Marker resistant: Fresh from the printer with no smudges, the DRHD inks have improved water resistance which helps prints resist bleeding when highlighted with a marker

Cost-effective printing

What’s more, you’ll also save money on business-optimised ink – the high yield XL ink tanks print colour documents at a low cost per page, and the 4-colour multipack option contains a full set of replacement inks for even more cost-effective printing.

This short video shows just how seamlessly Canon MAXIFY printers fit into, and add value to your business.

GDPR: The countdown begins

With less than 100 days to go in the countdown until the May 25th d-day for the General Data Protection Regulation, there’s more noise than ever out there right now. In a recent this article, BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, states that “getting a compliance programme implemented, in a way that aligns to business needs, is a suggested approach to reduce the risk of falling foul to the legislation”.

The article takes the view that irrespective of your role in IT, you will have seen and read to some extent about the GDPR – but it’s how you take in the information and translate that into an appropriate action plan for your business that’s the important part.

It also discusses the varying stages in preparation that organisations seem to be at at the present time, and finds that “a substantial number of small-to-medium organisations have now turned to GDPR preparations with around six months to go”.

Complete IT Systems are here to assist with solutions and support for your organisation’s journey to GDPR compliance objectives, as well as more general IT security and data governance requirements. Give us a call on 01274 396 213 or email us to discuss your requirements or pain points today.

Which laptop can survive a freezer & cold shower?

Anyone who was at the BETT show recently may have seen Lenovo T Series and X series devices being frozen and another being showered!

Although Lenovo’s ThinkPads have always been known for their robustness, they were not specifically designed to only meet the Mil-SPEC 810G standard. Meeting the standard is just the start of ThinkPad’s durability, robustness and reliability. Selected ThinkPad models, including all X & T series, have successfully passed the following tests:

  • -20 degree temperatures for over 72 hours
  • 91-98% humidity
  • 30-60 degree temperatures over 24 hour cycles
  • Sand tests for 6 hour cycles

On top of this, they also survived high-vibration environments, mechanical shocks, high altitude and quick temperature shocks!

Okay, so these tests are on the extreme side! But the short message is that if your field teams need a robust, durable device that combines performance with ruggedness, then the Lenovo ThinkPad Mil-SPEC range could be for you.

View this short video to see how the devices can withstand accidents and tough working conditions.
