Samsung Electronics has unveiled its new innovative concept printers at IFA 2014 to introduce printing technology in new and exciting ways.

The four concept printers, designed for the home and office, come in a range of bright colours, unconventional shapes and contain eco-friendly features such as the option to use recycled paper, said a statement.

These concept designs won the 2014 iF Design Award in the Concept Design category. Samsung expects the new printers to play an important role in the growing trend for mobile printing, it said.

Seungwook Jeong, principle designer of printing solutions at Samsung, said: “Samsung’s concept printers are designed to be three things at their core – simple, mobile and quick to use. We developed our design concept printers to apply the mobile printing trend in the home and office and the increasing trend for eco-friendly technology.

“We are excited to be able to deliver a new printing experience for small businesses and home offices alike.”

With the growing trend for mobile printing, ‘Vase’ is a mono laser printer that is designed to take up minimal space in the living room, said the statement.

Its standing design enables the user to feed the paper vertically to save space and is available in a range of neutral colours so that it blends in with the design of the living room, it said.

‘Egg Tray’ is an eco-friendly toner cartridge package created with fully recyclable paper. Instead of the conventional paper box with an air shock absorbent, manual, and warranty card, the ‘Egg Tray’ uses one pulp-molded tray and recycled paper. This not only reduces material costs, but is also more environmentally friendly.

‘One & One,’ a mono laser printer with a hybrid design that can print in two different colours. The two cartridges enable users to print in cyan, magenta, or yellow to complement the standard black toner.

‘Mate’ is a mono laser printer that enables the user to customise the colour of the device using coloured panels to ensure it is aesthetically pleasing with the design of the room. The panels can be changed according to the consumer’s personal preference. - TradeArabia News Service
