Lexmark Inkjet Supplies Price Changes Effective Jan 1, 2015

Lexmark International, Inc. is announcing an inkjet supplies increase of approximately 6% on the majority of inkjet part numbers, effective January 1, 2015. This increase will apply to both MSRP and reseller prices.

Lexmark has incurred increasing costs due to market conditions as well as from declining volumes. Lexmark will continue to mitigate its costs, but a price increase is necessary to offset the expenses that are occurring.

Lexmark will reserve the right to limit quantities ordered by a reseller prior to January 1, 2015. Product must be shipped from Lexmark by December 31, 2014 to receive prior price.

Epson Introduces Heavy Duty A3 Color Workgroup MFP

Epson America, Inc., a leading provider of business imaging solutions, recently announced expansion of its portfolio of workgroup printers with its two new A3 printing solutions powered by PrecisionCore™ – the WorkForce® Pro WF-8590 and WF-8090. The WorkForce Pro 8000-Series printers are designed to deliver affordable color printing with low intervention for small and medium companies and corporate workgroups.

The WorkForce Pro 8000-Series features black and color print speeds up to 24 ppm, a duty cycle of up to 75,000 pages and cost savings up to 40% lower than printing from color lasers. With the WorkForce Pro WF-8590 (multifunction) and WF-8090 (single function) color printers, workgroups will benefit from versatile media handling to print up to 13" x 19" on a variety of media, including envelopes and labels. With ultra-high yield cartridges to print or copy up to 7,000 color pages and total paper capacity of up to 1,830 sheets with optional paper trays, small and medium businesses (SMBs) can maximize work productivity by reducing the frequency of supplies replenishment.

"Business decision-makers and their solutions providers are moving A3 printing closer to the knowledge workers who print a high volume of color pages," said Larry Trevarthen, director, Business Imaging, Epson America, Inc. "This move not only minimizes workflow disruption, but with the new WorkForce Pro 8000-Series, it can also optimize the costs of color printing."

"These new Epson models are designed to augment traditional 'big iron' machines – not replace them – to more conveniently deliver the wide-format color documents produced by companies in sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare and financial services," Trevarthen added.

Additional WorkForce Pro 8000-Series features include:
· Drivers & utilities - universal printer driver; PCL and PostScript® 3 support.
· Security features: PIN number certification for job release; user control access, printer and network settings via Web configuration with printer’s IP address, SSL/TLS security, IPSec.
· Efficiency – automatic duplexing plus auto media size detection; WorkForce Pro WF-8590 adds auto two-sided copying, faxing and scanning, including Scan to Cloud, scan to email and Epson Document Capture Pro software.
· Built-in connectivity - includes Ethernet, USB, wireless b/g/n and Wi-Fi Direct®; easily print from tablets and smartphones, including remote printing and access to Cloud.
· Enabled for remote printer data collection – Compatible with MPS software solutions from PrintFleet®, ECi (FMAudit®) and others.

The WorkForce Pro WF-8590 and WF-8090 will be available in January 2015 through the Epson ImageWaySM Partner Program to channel partners and through authorized commercial channel resellers.

Half of USB Devices Have Unpatchable Security Flaws

Following up na article on Wirth Consulting, the security researchers that discovered the vulnerability have since tested the USB controller chips from eight of the major suppliers. Hacker Karsten Nohl presented at the recent PacSec security conference in Tokyo that he and his fellow researchers Jakob Lell and Sascha Krissler have analyzed every USB controller chip sold by the industry's most prominent vendors to see if they are vulnerable. The good news is that they found that the exploit can only affect about half of USB devices. The bad news is that it is nearly impossible to identify which devices are secure without physically disassembling every last device and identifying its USB chips:

"It’s not like you plug a thumbdrive into your computer and it tells you this is a Cypress chip, and this one is a Phison chip," says Nohl, citing two of the top USB chip manufacturers. "You really can't check other than by opening the device and doing the analysis yourself... The scarier story is that we can't give you a list of safe devices."

Nohl's continuing research is in response to critics who argued that his original BadUSB presentation was too narrowly focused on chip maker Phison. Subsequently, Nohl's team tested the vulnerability of USB controller chips sold by the industry's biggest vendors: Phison, Alcor, Renesas, ASmedia, Genesys Logic, FTDI, Cypress, and Microchip. Their methodology included checking the versions of each chip by analyzing their published specifications and plugging it into a PC and attempting to rewrite the chip's firmware. The test results were largely unpredictable, and each USB controller chip/device was rated as "vulnerable", "secure", or "inconclusive":

·  All of the USB storage controllers from Taiwanese firm Phison were vulnerable to reprogramming.
·  USB storage controllers from ASmedia were not.
·  USB controller chips from Taiwanese company Genesys that used the USB 2 standard were not vulnerable, but those that used USB 3 standard were.
·  Other USB devices, such as USB hubs, keyboards, webcams, and mice were even more unpredictable.

Nohl’s team also discovered that at least one company already protects against BadUSB attacks: USB device maker Imation employs its Ironkey technology that requires any new firmware updates to its USB flash-memory "thumbdrives" are signed with an "un-forgeable" cryptographic signature that prevents malicious reprogramming. On the other hand, security researcher Richard Harman subsequently found that the popular flash-memory vendor Kingston uses USB chips from up to a half-dozen different companies. Nevertheless, Nohl says that some of the USB controller chips that were found to be immune were protected "by accident" and were deliberately custom-designed ("defeatured") for unique applications for economical considerations that oh-by-the-way, also makes them immune to reprogramming. However, Nohl warns that "every chip that could be reprogrammable is reprogrammable," and vulnerable to BadUSB.

In summary, Nohl states that because of lack of transparency (openly identifying the source of the USB controller chips), and the unpredictable mix of secure and insecure USB controller chips, practically every device produced by the USB device industry is suspect.

Canon Celebrates 25th Cartridge Recycling Anniversary

The Canon Toner Cartridge Recycling Program will celebrate its 25th year in operation in 2015, and now covers 26 countries across the world, and the OEM revealed that in December 2013 it had collected around 320,000 metric tonnes of used toner cartridges for recycling since 1990. Four global bases are used to collect and recycle the cartridges: Canon Ecology Industry Inc. in Japan; Canon Dalian Business Machines, Inc. in China; Canon Virginia, Inc. in the United States of America; and Canon Bretagne S.A.S. in France.

After launching Canon PC-10 and Canon PC-20 in October 1982, which the OEM says were the "world's first personal copying machines to incorporate replaceable all-in-one toner cartridges", the cartridges used were "adapted" for use in laser printers, "rapidly gaining in popularity", and in line with what the OEM says is its corporate philosophy of 'kyosei' – "living and working together for the common good", it launched the recycling program, which it claims was a "watershed moment" for the industry.

Other environmental claims it makes include reducing the "use of new resources" by 220,000 metric tonnes and CO2 emissions by 480,000 metric tonnes. To celebrate the 25 years of operation, the OEM will expand recycling eco-lesson visits to Japanese elementary schools, which will feature an "experiment involving the separation of materials made of plastics and metals", and this will also be presented at the Eco-Products 2014 exhibition in Japan later this month.
